ASHFORD AIRPORT, better known as Lydd and officially now London-Ashford, is pushing on with major improvements which it is hoped will take it up to 2m annual passengers in less than ten years.
With the future of Kent's other airport, Manston, very much in question the airport has rolled out a £2m improvement programme including the refurbishment of the main maintenance hangar, creating and refurbishing the VIP terminal, as well as new departure and arrival facilities for commercial traffic, establishing offices for Immigration, Customs and other authorities, and buying ground equipment to enhance the handling of traffic.
