Coventry Airport update

COVENTRY CITY AIRPORT may have a new owner “within weeks”.  Following the saga with Swiss/American company ADP (see last week’s AERBT), Sir Peter Rigby, a local businessman and a Trustee of the RAF Museum (Hendon and Cosford) has stepped in and is in discussion with the City Council and the liquidator.  His ambitions for Coventry are rather different from the previous would-be operators, less ambitious but more practical.  His idea is to expand business and general aviation, professional pilot training, cargo operations and aerial work services, as well as being the site for Air Atlantique's forthcoming "working museum", which is planned to open in the Spring. www.coventryairport.co.uk
