Manchester Airport; The History And Development Of The Site

Filed under: Air Travel — prettyone @ 12:00 am

Other than the airports servicing the capital Manchester is the UK’s largest. It flies to a variety of destinations all around the world and hosts a large number of auxiliary services such as shops, restaurants and car hire desks. A recent survey conducted by a popular travel magazine found that it was the UK’s favourite major airport. Like Heathrow it has two runways as well as a dedicated railway station that gives access to destinations all around the country. Annually the airport currently handles around twenty million passengers. As it services the UK’s second city, it is unsurprising that it is such an important link in the UK’s transportation network.

The site was originally constructed during the nineteen thirties as part of a growth in air travel more generally. At first it was named the Ringway Airfield due to its location in the parish of Ringway. The first flight left Ringway to Amsterdam in the year 1938. However as the war was only a short time away, civilian activities were soon stopped for military purposes. As a military airfield the site conducted a number of operational sorties but also existed as a training and testing facility. Part of this training was the instruction of the new parachute regiments that formed such an important part of the modern war machine. In terms of testing, the British manufacturer Avro often used the Manchester site.

Like most of the airports in the UK, the end of the war saw a return of civilian flyers. The airport was an immediate success handling almost half a million passengers annually during the fifties. Naturally, this success brought many companies who were attempting to make a profit from travellers; these were predominantly companies in the retail and car hire industries. From the fifties onwards the site saw expansion to accommodate large jet planes that were rapidly becoming the aircraft of choice for tourist airlines. As well as runway extensions to cope with the longer take offs and landings of jets, a terminal was built to cope with increased passenger numbers. It was during this period that the name was changed to Manchester International Airport.

As a result of this new title, the chiefs in charge of the site’s development set up a plan to court more transatlantic and other long haul flights. However, this meant that another runway extension would be required. Long haul flights were secured and during the nineties the passenger numbers reflected a large increase. As a result of larger passenger numbers the site needed another terminal. This was built during the early nineties and obviously filled with the usual accompanying services such as shops, cafes and car hire desks. Additionally, during this decade the site was given its own train station linked to the national rail network.

The creation of the gargantuan Airbus A380 has once again meant that expansion was needed to accommodate this huge jet. As past of the airport’s thirty year expansion plan, designers have laid down further plans to expand the terminal size as well as the apron space. This is vital should the site continue to grow and cope with the needs of the next generation of jet aircraft. Naturally this expansion will include a further increasing of the auxiliary services such as shops, restaurants and car hire provisions as these are a valuable profit making tool for the airport.

As the largest airport in the UK outside of the London area Manchester is a vitally important part of the air travel network. While the London sites battle for primacy, Manchester only has to worry about Birmingham overtaking it; as Birmingham is considerably smaller, Manchester can be sure that its position is somewhat assured for the future.

Air travel expert Thomas Pretty looks into how car hire Manchester airport services have been instrumental in the site’s development.

The Military Heritage Of Stansted Airport

Filed under: Air Travel — prettyone @ 12:00 am

Stansted Airport is one of the four airports servicing the capital; currently it is in third position of the London airports and fourth in terms of the UK. It lies in the area of Uttlesford, a small and scenically beautiful district in the north of Essex. Today it is an airport that accommodates a large number of budget airlines flying predominantly to European destinations although in the last few years, flights to both the US and the Middle East have been available. Naturally, like many of the airports around the world, the Stansted terminal is filled with shops, restaurants and car hire desks. But how did Stansted arrive at its current position, what is the fascinating history behind this unique site?

As with most UK airports Stansted can trace its early beginnings at the outbreak of the Second World War. Although the Royal Air Force used the site, it was predominantly the home of American squadrons. When the site was selected it was decided that it would be named after the close by town of Stansted Mountfitchet, a town more renowned for its medieval history than its aerodrome. The USAAF used the site as a home for bombers from the middle of the war. The site itself was constructed by American military engineers; travellers can still see some of the original huts at the extremities of the site although the current buildings complete with car hire provisions, shops and cafes would be unrecognisable to the original planners.

The USAAF force used the site for sorties flown by the 344th Bombardment Group. This group used the massive B-26 Bombers meaning that Stansted had to have a considerable runway and apron to accommodate the large planes. These sorties bombed sites in France, Belgium and the Netherlands and were instrumental in assisting the Normandy landings. This meant pilots had to bomb many of the fuel depots and bridges in Normandy to halt the escape of the retreating German forces.

Even after the war the military uses for Stansted did not stop immediately. Straight after the war it was used as a prisoner of war camp as well as a depot for RAF aircraft and equipment. It was not until the sixties that the site became a civilian airport, being purchased by BAA in 1966. As a civilian airport however the site has excelled. As it was smaller than both Gatwick and Heathrow, Stansted could offer travellers cheaper flights, helping with the growth of the package holiday to many different European tourist spots. It was during this period that Stansted was officially sanctioned to be the capital’s third major airport, although in recent years it seems as if transport ministers are not quite finished with the construction of the site.

Throughout the last decades of the twentieth century the terminal that now dominates the site was built. This terminal designed by renowned architect Sir Norman Foster is a modern, spacious and light building filled with car hire desks, shops, cafes and bars. Even though this terminal was large, it was expanded during the nineties to cope with increased passenger numbers. As well as the terminal building, Stansted has a large number of transport links to the capital and the rest of the country. By road the M11 motorway is a short distance away. A coach terminal allows travel to much of the country while the train station has regular trains to London as well as links to stations up the country such as Birmingham and Peterborough.

Due to the spacious apron space at the Stansted site it is the airport of choice whenever a terrorist situation arises. This is because planes can be landed and kept away from the terminal building. Subsequently Stansted has seen more incidents than expected for a site of its size. The most recent being in the February of 2000 when a Ariana Afghan Airlines plane was kept at the airport for four days while terrorists negotiated with police and members of the Special Forces.

Today the terrorist applications of Stansted give some respect to the site’s military heritage. It is thanks to the needs of USAAF bombing squadrons and their B-26 bombers that the site is so large and ripe for expansion. Currently airport chiefs are vying for a second runway to further increase passenger numbers as well as trying to expand auxiliary services such as car hire provisions, shops, cafes and restaurants. If they succeed, Stansted may become the UK’s second largest and busiest airport.

Air travel expert Thomas Pretty looks into how car hire Stansted airport services have been instrumental in the site’s development.

The Expansion Of Birmingham Airport

Filed under: Air Travel — prettyone @ 12:00 am

Birmingham Airport is located in Solihull, a borough of the city of Birmingham; the airport itself is around six miles away from the centre of the city. In terms of size, it is the sixth largest airport in the UK with a host of shops, restaurants, car hire provisions and other transport links. Currently the airport has direct link to the M42 and A45 while it is also close to the M6 meaning that much of the Midlands is only a short drive from the site. Around a million passengers use Birmingham airport annually with routes to much of Europe as well as long haul flights to the United States and the Indian subcontinent.

The airport was originally opened in the late nineteen thirties but at the outset of war was quickly taken over by the military. At this stage the site only had grass runways although the RAF converted these to tarmac to accommodate large bombers. Once the war had ended however the site returned to civilian uses and came under the ownership of local councils. The post war years saw steady process and in the late nineteen sixties the airport runways were extended in order to accommodate large commercial jets.

After the runways were extended the next two decades saw further expansion. The mid eighties saw a new terminal that has the facilities to cope with around three million passengers annually. Even with a new terminal, Birmingham built another that was opened ceremoniously with a visit from the supersonic flyer, Concorde. Concorde visited once more at the turn of the century during its tour of Britain before decommissioning. The terminals remain however and now offer passengers a host of services such as cafes, restaurants, shops and car hire desks. Obviously the executive authorities are doing their jobs properly as last year it was voted Europe’s best mid sized airport.

As a result of a government paper ensuring all airports released detailed master plans for their expansion over the next three decades Birmingham released their development scheme. These plans set out a schedule that would see further extension of the runways and an expansion of the apron space in the coming years. As with most of the UK’s airports however local residents and environmental campaigners have been quick to voice their concerns with the expansion plans. Despite protests however, airport authorities are still striving to extend the runways in time for the next Olympic Games, being held in London in the year 2012. Additionally, the runway extensions are being pursued so the new Airbus A380 will be accommodated at the site.

The master plan also sets out the proposed plans for further expansion of the main pier and the terminal more generally. Designers would even like to put in a new satellite building that would specifically deal with Airbus transit. This kind of expansion however will require a far larger amount of apron space for aircraft taxiing. Birmingham has been forced to abandon its plans for a second runway although extension to the terminal building is likely to occur to increase the provisions for passenger numbers. Naturally as the terminal expands services such as shops, car hire desks and restaurants will be built up to cope with the increased passenger numbers.

Currently Birmingham is the UK’s sixth airport behind the four London airports and Manchester. While the top four have their positions somewhat secured, Birmingham will be hoping to build up its range of services to compete with Luton for fifth spot. As the city of Birmingham grows it is doubtless that its servicing airport will also have to develop.

Air travel expert Thomas Pretty looks into how car hire Birmingham airport services are likely to be instrumental in the site’s future development.

Aberdeen Airport; Vital To Scotland And The Oil Industry

Filed under: Air Travel — prettyone @ 12:00 am

The area of Dyce, an area located approximately five miles from the centre of Aberdeen is the location of the city’s servicing airport. While it is not the largest of the UK’s airports, passenger numbers are steadily on the increase and have been for the last decade. At the moment the airport sees around three and a half million passengers pass through annually, this number is eight percent higher than the previous year and hence shows the level of growth for the site.

In terms of Scotland, Aberdeen is regarded to be the third largest airport, meaning that it is of vital importance to the air travel network in Britain. The British Airports Authority owns the site and over the years has worked hard to improve the facilities in the terminal; this has meant allowing shops, restaurants and car hire desks to trade within the terminal building. As well as aeroplane flights, Aberdeen plays a major role in servicing the needs of the North Sea oil industry.

In the early thirties the airport was opened with the goal of providing a link between the northern Scottish islands and major airports such as London’s Heathrow and Gatwick. This role however was taken over by Inverness due to a more preferential and northerly location. As with most UK airports Aberdeen was requisitioned by the military during the war years and played an important role in the protection of northern Britain. Fundamentally the role of Aberdeen was to protect the north from German bombing raids originating from Norway. Even with this ultimately important role, the airport predominantly flew reconnaissance sorties in Scandinavia to assess the state of the war effort. After military control was ended, the site returned to civil aviation uses.

Aberdeen was in a prime position to take advantage of the North Sea oil boom during the sixties. This meant helicopters were regularly flown from the site’s heliport to ferry workers to the numerous oil rigs in the North Sea. The role continues to this day and currently Aberdeen is regarded to be the busiest Heliport anywhere in the world. These flights form a large constituent of the airport’s income; around five hundred oil industry workers use the airport annually, while around forty thousand flight movements were controlled from the site. This role is so important to the airport that it is estimated that over half of the movements at any one time are made up from helicopters.

As well as this vital function servicing the needs of the oil industry, Aberdeen has increasingly attempting to court business from budget airlines to increase destinations to Europe. This increased tourist focus has meant that shops, cafes and car hire provisions have been expanded to meet the needs of travellers. Additionally, to service both oil rig customers and tourists a number of hotels have been built to accommodate travellers. One of these is rumoured to be part of the Hilton chain, showing that not all those flying to the oil rigs are blue collar workers; plenty of executives also regularly make the journey.

As a result of government legislation Aberdeen has had to put down in writing its plans for development over the next thirty years. The executives at the airport are hoping to extend the runway by around three hundred metres. This extension, if given planning permission will give the airport facilities to land flights from America, a vital link for many of the oil industry players. The extension however will not just bring transatlantic flights, it is also hoped a larger runway will mean European destinations further afield will become a reality.

As with many of the airports in the UK local residents are vehement that expansion should not happen in their back yard; additionally, environmental campaigners have also voiced protestations. These protests however are likely to be overruled should planning permission be given. Whatever happens with the expansion plans, the airport will continue to perform an important function in servicing both the Scottish nation and the oil industry.

Inverness Airport; Fundamental Link In The Transportation Network Of Scotland

Filed under: Air Travel — prettyone @ 12:00 am

Inverness airport is one of the most important airports in Scotland. It is located at Dalcross, a site that is approximately seven miles away from the city of Inverness. Dalcross lies close to both the city and the highlands meaning that for the essential Scottish experience it can be considered the ideal gateway. Much of northern Scotland is easily accessible from Inverness airport; because of this great position, coach tour companies and car hire services have arisen at the airport to accommodate the needs of travellers. It is not just the rugged and beautiful rural areas that are accessible from the airport however, the city itself is a must see for all in visiting the region.

Ownership of the airport lies with the Highlands and Islands Airports Limited; this body, holds responsibility for the Dalcross site as well as many of the other airports located on the outlying islands that lay to north of Scotland. It is estimated that annually over seven hundred thousand passengers pass through the airport. Most of these passengers use the airport as a stopover destination that allows further travel to the Hebridean Islands although other destinations are flown to from the site. Of the passengers, some will visit the majestic Highlands regions and the coast; as a result, a number of different car hire companies, hotels and coach tour operators have began operations.

Like the majority of the airports in the UK, Inverness was originally a military airbase used by the RAF. After the war however the site returned to civil use and began flying domestic flights south to major airports in England. The first flyer to make use of Inverness airport was BEF (British European Airways). This company was one of the precursors to the national flyer, British Airways and originally ran a service from Inverness to London Heathrow. This route however struggled to achieve the projected passenger numbers and was eventually scrapped. However a different company, Dan Air, started to run flights to both Gatwick and Manchester during the eighties but once again, had trouble achieving profits.

British Airways eventually bought out Dan Air in the early nineties who kept a service going until 1997. Once again this service was withdrawn despite the protestations of the local residents. The late nineties however saw a large increase in the number of budget airlines flying from many of the UK’s airports. Even with this growth in budget air travel, international destinations have struggled to be forthcoming to and from the airport. In recent years, the most popular route has remained a domestic one, the link to Gatwick, giving islanders and locals access to one of the major UK airports for destinations further afield.

This can be considered the most important function of Inverness. Even with large numbers of shops, restaurants, car hire desks and cafes, the site remains a vital link in the transport network serving the north of Scotland and the islands. As a result of this purpose many small to middling size aircraft use the airport on a regular basis flying to all of the islands that have runways. This gives islanders the chance to fly into Inverness and then fly onto a major airport where international flights are more readily available. As well as this function, the airport plays an extensive role in supplying postal, cargo and emergency services to the islands.

Today Inverness Airport, despite having limited international destinations provides a vital air link to the north of Scotland and the Hebridean Islands. In terms of development airport chiefs are keen to increase the numbers of cafes, shops, car hire desks and restaurants as well as other terminal facilities. Whatever does happen, the place of Inverness in the Scottish transportation network is assured. The link it provides from the mainland to islands means that the extremities of Britain are made a little less remote.

Air travel expert Thomas Pretty looks at how car hire Inverness Airport services have helped in the site’s development.

Southampton; A Popular And Rapidly Expanding Airport

Filed under: Air Travel — prettyone @ 12:00 am

As one of the smaller airports in the UK, Southampton serves an important role in the nation’s transportation network whilst servicing the needs of passengers in the south of England. As with most airports the terminal has a host of auxiliary services such as shops, cafes, and car hire desks. These services, as well as the airport itself provide vital employment in the local area. Even though it is a small airport, the site handles around two million passenger movements annually.

As with all of the public airports in the UK, Southampton has had to lay out its expansions plans for the next three decades. The government has put in place the legislation in order to understand the levels of air travel that will be present in the country in the future. The legislation also shows that the government were keen to understand how airports would employ local areas over the next thirty years.

Even though the airport is small in stature, Southampton is amazingly popular with travellers in the UK. This popularity has even been confirmed by official awards from the European Regions Airline Association, Southampton winning airport of the year last year. As well as official bodies giving their approval to this plucky contender, the public have secured this popularity in a Daily Telegraph survey. The results of this survey found that the airport was voted the world’s third most popular; the highest ranking airport within the UK.

Airport chiefs are keen to keep these large levels of customer satisfaction while they continue to build upon past success. Part of this expansion is bound to include an increasing of the accompanying services such as shops, restaurants and car hire desks; naturally this will also include an expansion of the terminal. All of these efforts are being put in place to increase passenger numbers and hence profits. Ultimately the airport is hoping to achieve around six million passengers annually in 2030.

As well as attempting to keep the customer focus of the airport, the site is not looking to expand past its current boundaries. This realistic planning is refreshing in the aviation industry where seemingly all airports are trying to secure planning for a second or even third runway. They do however want a larger terminal filled with services like car hire desks, shops, restaurants and cafes. Ultimately Southampton airport faces a difficult challenge, to remain popular with passengers as a small and likeable service, and to expand enough to keep up with changes in the world of air travel.

Naturally any expansion will have an effect on the local residents and environment. Southampton however have once again bucked the trend and been sympathetic to both. The expansion plans make no provisions for night flights meaning residents will not be kept up all night, and noise pollution control measures are being investigated to minimise the impact of day time flights. Predominantly the airport will keep the types of aircraft flying in small and quiet to accommodate local residents and wildlife as much as possible.

In contrast however the site is hoping to improve its road links. This will allow both hire and private car owners to make the transition from road to air that much easier. The connection is set to link the site directly to the M27 so that congestion will be eased on the current roads and especially in Southampton city centre. With a focus on public transport however the airport is keen to tout its green credentials to work towards lower carbon emissions countrywide.

Unlike most of the master plans released by UK airports, Southampton’s is surprisingly sympathetic to the environment and local residents. Hopefully by following a path that includes increasing employment through channels such as car hire companies and retailers and keeping a keen customer focussed edge, Southampton should remain a small, but welcoming airport in the air travel network.

Air travel expert Thomas Pretty looks at how car hire Southampton airport services are vital to expansion plans.

By getting your tickets early you can avoid these price hikes.

Wait until the last minute to buy your ticket:
You can get some great deals by waiting until the last minute, if you’re willing to be flexible. Not every flight will have vacancies, but when they do a last minute ticket can provide fantastic savings over a full price fare. Contact the airlines directly or check out sites like TravelZoo where they regularly post dirt cheap last minute deals.

Do your homework:
You shop for other major purchases like appliances and autos, you even shop for groceries sales so why not take some time to do some shopping for your airline tickets as well. Don’t take the first fare you find, switch days and times as well as airlines to find the best possible prices for a dirt cheap airline ticket.

Use ticket discounters:
You might have trouble finding tickets for major airlines through discounters, but they can save you a bundle of money at times.

Finding Dirt Cheap Airline Tickets for Your Honeymoon

Filed under: Air Travel — paid_survey @ 12:00 am

While a wedding is a happy occasion, the expenses surrounding it never make anyone happy. By doing a little extra work your can save hundreds on your honeymoon by finding cheap airline tickets and potentially save yourself a whole lot of stress.

In addition to the decreased stress you’ll also have more money left for the actual honeymoon which could mean a better destination, upgraded rooms or more romantic dinners. It’s worth a little extra time spent now to locate some dirt cheap tickets. I know I wouldn’t mind being able to stay in the honeymoon suite of a 5 star hotel simply because I was able to save hundreds on my airfare.

These four tips will put you well on your way to locating the cheapest airline tickets available for your honeymoon.

1. Don’t travel during peak times. By traveling mid week or getting flights that leave early in the morning or late at night you avoid the peak flight times that the airlines charge the most for. Since demand for these flights is low the airlines will frequently discount them just to keep the planes full. Take advantage of these discounts. And if you travel during off peak seasons you’ll be able to save money on your resort as well as the airfare.

2. Use travel comparison sites to find the best deals on airfare. Sites like TravelZoo, BookingBuddy and Cheap Flights will save you time by searching all the major travel sites for the best possible airline ticket prices. Why go to each site yourself when you can let one of these comparison sites do the work for you.

3. Even though you’ve checked the comparison sites go ahead and call the airlines directly. The airlines will often run specials, especially for last minute flights, that they don’t advertise anywhere. All it takes is a quick call to the airline and you could save yourself serious money on your flight.

4. Consider booking a package that combines your hotel and airfare. When tourism is suffering to a destination the airlines and hotels will often partner to offer special discounts and attract more visitors. Packages can be a great deal, but don’t assume that you’re saving money just because it’s a package. Compare the price of the separate elements to make sure you’re getting a deal.

By using these four simple steps you can often find unadvertised specials and promotions that will save you hundreds on your airfare. Save your self the stress and high cost of airfare by doing your own search for cheap airline tickets. If you save money on your airfare then you’ll have more money to spend on the romantic parts of your honeymoon and you’ll both enjoy it to it’s fullest.
