Location, Location, Location
A superb microclimate, excellent facilities and an expansive local training area makes Blackpool airport ideal for learning to fly.
GREAT WEATHER
There is a reason why Blackpool is a famous seaside resort! The superb microclimate,
​
Blackpool's coastal location means that it often experiences better weather than inland airports such as Barton or Leeds. In fact Blackpool has better weather than other coastal airports such as Liverpool.
​
And on the rare(ish) occasion that it does rain, our tarmac runways mean that the flying doesn't stop.
TRAINING AREA
Training from some other larger airports can mean that over 15 minutes of each lessons is spent getting to and from the more restrictive air traffic control areas.
​
At Blackpool we have the entire Fylde coast available to use immediately after getting airborne meaning that not a second of your flying time is wasted.
​
We also have only a small amount of commercial traffic meaning less time holding for larger aircraft.
​
EXCELLENT FACILITIES
Blackpool airport boasts two tarmac runways, both over 1,000m long. This gives great opportunity to really hone your landing skills.
We have a number of instrument approaches including one of the few available RNP approaches in the country.
​
We also have Warton aerodrome just 5 minutes to the East which is often available for instrument approaches.
The spectacular scenery of the Lake District is only a half an hour's flight away.
