## Description

NHV is the operator that keeps Blackpool Airport (IATA: BLK, ICAO: EGNH) busy: from a purpose-built helicopter terminal on the Lancashire coast, its AW169s carry crew changes out to the oil and gas installations of the East Irish Sea, a base it opened at the end of 2020. Beyond that, the airport works on a prior-permission basis around business and charter aviation, handled by Hangar 3, and flight training; there are currently no scheduled passenger services. NHV itself passed to Ireland-based GD Helicopter Finance in December 2025, which is adding two factory-new Airbus H160s for offshore work in the North and Baltic Seas. No commercial cargo is handled at Blackpool, and the field has neither a freight terminal nor its own air-cargo customs post. Shippers in north-west England use Manchester (MAN) and Liverpool (LPL), each about an hour's drive south, and East Midlands (EMA), the UK's largest dedicated freight airport, for pure freighter services.
