I think a new terminal building is planned, or the plans have been approved at CVT. Some of the locals where whinging about the disruption... Due to the proximity of the airport to some less desirable locations in Coventry and the mindless few ****bags who inhabit there, I am surprised the high value cargo flights really go on.

lo-cost carriers and coventry
Nice thought but......CVT is presently an airfield with rural security, one runway, no hard taxyways, no terminal (as previously stated), minimum car-parking, and lacking numerous other facilities essential to support airline ops. Just a minute! Isn't there a place called BHX just 18 miles away with all of the above? Anyway just how many folks want to fly from CVT to Bergamo or some Scandanavian destination 80 miles from the nearest log-cabin settlement? Nevertheless, good luck to them.... Cov needs more than ChanEx, Rangemile and Air Atlantic if it is to survive/prosper. bm

Ahh there you have it!...but connect these things!
I am given to understand that during the summer there was a BAL light a/c doing tours of the smaller airports with people from purchasing.
easyjet will be getting rid of their early 737-300s
I am given to understand that their has been a lot of work at BAL involving various 737 models.
and finally, TUI already has a lo- cost carrier- Hapag Express.
I'm gonna get some flak for this but I think that charter carriers as we know them have little future, so maybe we're seeing the big charter boys start to re-invent themselves, as they've done in the past.
just another thought...CVT will be cheap compared to BHX, EMA et al.
Ryanair have made a good business out of using smaller airfields

perhaps someone could give some thought to how these extra IFR airways departures/arrivals would be integrated into the'SAPCO Triangle'-this bit of airspace is creaking already, and I can just see a low cost B737 mixing it in bandit country north of DTY descending for the CT-it will only take one close call!

New terminal is to be built on the southern side.
Taxi ways can and do take 737's and the like. (Albeit not every 5 minutes). During the day the field is pretty quiet except for light training aircraft, at night it's very busy with freighters of various size coming and going.

hi all
We should hear the outcome of the new terminal shortly.
If it gets the go ahead we will just have to wait and see how busy we get at CVT and see what happens.
the airport website has the plans for the terminal.

Well Cosford would just be too obvious. What with its excellent road and rail connection, its ample space, lack of congestion and proximity to the nations second largest and second wealthiest conurbation. No no no, that won't do at all. Much better to spout rubbish about demolishing Norman-era villages in Rugby and perhaps knock up a passenger shed at Coventry.
