Background
Reopening Blackpool Airport as a dedicated hub for holiday makers would provide convenient, low-cost travel. With a focus on easy access, family-friendly facilities, and partnerships with budget airlines and travel companies, the airport would increase visitor numbers to Blackpool, stimulate local businesses, and generate employment opportunities. Improve transport links to the airport and town, and nearby regions would make Blackpool an attractive and accessible holiday destination once again
