Blackpool Airport

Work starts on airport's new passenger terminal

The move is the next step in "a brighter future for aviation in Blackpool", the airport director says.

Planners are satisfied glare from the panels will not affect pilots flying overhead, the council says.

The scheme will include an enhanced arrivals and departures area capable of handling up 45 passengers.

It follows plans for a new office, security and small passenger handling building at the airport.
