Blackpool Airport (IATA code: BLK, ICAO code: EGNH), formerly known as Squires Gate Airport and Blackpool International Airport, is a public airport serving Blackpool and Preston. Situated on the Fylde Coast, the airport lies at the centre of the Blackpool Airport Enterprise Zone and provides a gateway to the north west’s vibrant business and leisure destinations – a role it has been proud to perform since 1909.
The airport’s former main terminal had been fully renovated and modernised in 2005 and was capable of handling 2 million passengers a year. In 2016, the terminal was demolished and replaced by a new Energy College as part of the renewable energy sector of Blackpool and the Fylde College.
Statistically 2013 was the best year for passenger movements through the airport since 2009, with 262,630 passengers using the facility. The increase was directly linked to the introduction of three new summer Jet2 destinations, Dalaman, Ibiza and Lanzarote, which increased the passenger count by around 10% over the previous year.
