Regional and City Airports (RCA) (the airport development group created by Balfour Beatty) acquired 95% ownership of Blackpool International Airport from MAR Properties, a Northern Ireland based property developer in May 2008. The remaining 5% stake was retained by Blackpool Borough Council.
Blackpool International Airport is situated one mile south of Blackpool town centre and has excellent road and rail links which provide fast access to the North West. Its current key customers include Jet2.com, Ryanair and Manx2.com and it provides an established base to a range of other air carriers and related aeronautical businesses. The airport is forecast to handle about half a million passengers in 2008, flying 12 routes to the UK, Ireland, Isle of Man and mainland European destinations.
