That site was on the market with a estate agent in Ashford 4 months ago and he (the est agent) found the owner undealable and sent him on his way. I wonder is it really for sale or is it a pr exercise, him thinking the land is worth a fortune. I had dealings there before and recall the owner banning...

What a bloody shame, i see its been sold as a farm.
I dont think king ever wanted at as an airfield once he shut it down.
It must be over valued because ruddy in the eoropean would have snapped it up by now.
Another one bites the dust!!

And even more money,cos he is taking delivery of a brand new EC-130 end of May!!!!!!!!

Try Steve Walker in European Helicopter Academy over at Weston.

Try www.aaiu.ie

Anyone had a chance to digest the report of this Heli from AAIU website.

Makes interesting read, and the restrictions going forward.

Any comments.

Mr P.Shovelin to be precise,sister ship of EI-TOY.

Not to sure if he is rated yet though.

Loadsa money

Yes agree with you on the training side of things (alot of worried faces in Weston today) but if there is changes you wont see them for a while yet.

Victor 9,

R you Weston based!!

BTW,

Mansfield is retaining a portion of the site to construct his hotel The Weston Park Hotel.
Piedmonts long term plan is to use it as a European hub for Biz Jet traffic.
For the last 2 Years they have been in disscusion with Shannon,with that plan in mind but nothing came out of the talks.

I know where your coming from on the planning issues,but at least the Runway extension is finished. Regarding GA,one way of keeping residents happy is to reduce the current movements which will stop alot of training etc. It might be worth a mention,Piedmont adopted this policy at some of the Airport...

Piedmont Hawthorne have bought weston aerodrome for a reported 50 million euro off property tycoon Jim Mansfield.

They own and operate 35 Airports in the US.

Another blow for GA??????????????????????????????

Great site Mark, glad to be onboard.
