Blackpool Airport – Gateway to the Lancashire Coast

Blackpool Airport (IATA: BLK, ICAO: EGNH) is a regional airport located in Squires Gate, Lancashire, England, approximately 3 miles southwest of Blackpool town centre. Once a major hub for leisure flights, the airport now primarily serves general aviation, business jets, and offshore helicopter operations.

Established in 1909, Blackpool Airport is one of the oldest airports in the United Kingdom, playing an important role in both civil and military aviation history. Today, it continues to serve as a convenient airfield for private and chartered flights, while also supporting the energy and tourism industries in the North West of England.

Facilities and Services

Despite being a regional airport, Blackpool Airport offers several amenities designed for comfort, safety, and efficiency:

• Passenger terminal with check-in and waiting areas

• Café and vending machines for refreshments

• Car rental and taxi services

• Free parking for short visits and dedicated long-stay options

• Helicopter facilities for offshore operations

• Business aviation lounge for private jet travelers

• Flight training schools and aviation maintenance services

• ATC tower, fire and rescue, and 24-hour security

The airport is well-suited for private, medical, and corporate flights, with convenient access to nearby business hubs and tourist destinations.

Airlines and Flight Operations

Currently, Blackpool Airport does not operate regular commercial airline services. However, it remains busy with:

• Private charter flights

• Offshore helicopter transport (for North Sea oil and gas industries)

• Pilot training and aviation schools

• Business and emergency service operations

Previously, airlines such as Jet2.com, Aer Arann, and Citywing operated scheduled services from Blackpool to destinations like Belfast, Dublin, and the Isle of Man. The airport authorities continue to explore future opportunities for regional scheduled flights.
