FlyPlymouth, which has been campaigning for a return to operations at the mothballed facility for more than 10 years now, said the airport was “still worth fighting for” and it had offered above the market value for the 113-acre site.
Writing on the website The Business Travel News, FlyPlymouth chief executive Raoul Witherall said there was still a good economic case for bringing back flights to and from the city. He stressed: “Commercial aviation opportunities at Plymouth have never been as strong as they are now.”
He said FlyPlymouth has a “robust plan supported by current evidence and financial backers”. And Mr Witherall continued: “There are so many good opportunities right now around electric aviation, UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) operations, skills and training in emergent industries for a city that has been granted freeport status.
