Ambitious new plans have been unveiled for Humberside Airport in the form of a Master Plan which outlines the Airport¹s future development up to 2030.
By 2016 Humberside Airport plans to increase jobs onsite to 1,040 in ten years (1,230 in 25 years), double the number of its passengers to around 1 million per annum and increase its air freight business particularly in support of regional specialities like perishable food products.
The scheme is projected to more than triple regional employment income to £51m (2030) The final Plan sets out how the Airport will grow and develop over the coming years in relation to the blueprint provided by the White Paper The Future of Air Transport (2003), which supported the continued growth of air traffic at Humberside Airport. The Plan also concentrates on how Humberside Airport will accommodate and capitalise upon the expected growth in the UK aviation industry, as the demand from UK passengers is anticipated to continue to grow significantly over the next 20 to 30 years.
