A flight training school opening at Lydd Airport, Romney Marsh, has created new jobs at the airport.
The expansion into Lydd of Harvard Aviation, which already has an established school at Redhill Airport in Surrey, has created at least three new jobs, with two flying instructors and an operations / IT manager already on board.
The flight school is one of several companies to move into Lydd airport in the past year. Leading car rental specialist Enterprise Rent-A-Car launched its latest UK branch at the airport in April 2009, while air charter company Trans Euro Air, which offers a range of passenger and cargo air transport services, established operations at the Romney Marsh airport a month later.
Lydd Airport’s Jo Oliver said: "Lydd continues to attract a wide mix of companies who recognise the benefits of being based at a rapidly developing airport. Harvard Aviation has some of the best instructors in the business and supply everything a trainee pilot needs to get started. I’m sure the school will be very successful here."
Last week the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, Eric Pickles, decided a public inquiry must be held over the £25m expansion plans of Lydd Airport and in June Jersey-based C.I. Travel cancelled its planned weekly service to Jersey from Lydd after poor sales.
