## Description

Helicopters, not jets, define Blackpool Airport (IATA: BLK, ICAO: EGNH): NHV flies offshore crews to the Irish Sea oil and gas platforms several times a day from a dedicated heli terminal on this Lancashire coast field. Operating on a prior-permission basis, the airport now centres on business and charter aviation – handled by Hangar 3 – together with flight training, and currently runs no scheduled passenger services. In 2025 work began on a new passenger handling and administration building to support the growing charter traffic. No commercial cargo is handled here. For air freight in north-west England, Manchester (MAN) or Liverpool (LPL) are the nearest cargo gateways, each about an hour's drive south.
