View from Europe's secondary airports: Interview with Clive Condie, CEO Churchill Airports

10-Oct-11 11:55 AM

To a casual observer the business of airport ownership and operation might seem to be dominated by private and public sector giants like Fraport, BAA, AdP, AENA, Changi Airports, GMR, TAV and so on. But beneath these premier league giants there are numerous much smaller players, some of them with just a handful of secondary level airports under their control. Numbered amongst them are Omniport (UK and Netherlands), AD Airports (Denmark and Germany), Aeroports de Catalunya (Spain), Bangkok Airways (Thailand), Bridgepoint Capital (UK) and New Zealand’s Infratil. Ahead of the forthcoming Global Airport Development (GAD) conference in Barcelona, where the future for airport investment will again inevitably be talked out, we asked one such firm, the ambitious British company Churchill Airports, for its view on future prospects and its position in the grand scheme of things. Churchill Airports is the operational facilitator at Blackpool (UK), Black Forest Lahr (Germany) and Pilsen (Czech Republic) airports. The interview was conducted with Clive Condie, chief executive officer.

CAPA Regional Manager UK and Ireland, David Bentley Airport Operators Association calls on UK government to save regional airports

15-Apr-09 12:30 PM

The UK’s Airport Operators Association (AOA) has warned that some of the country’s regional airports might not survive the global financial downturn due to falling passenger traffic and has requested UK Government assistance to these airports. But the story is not quite that straightforward.
