Hooray! Humberside Airport is extending its flights to a wider range of destinations for travellers in the Humberside region. There must be millions of us!
A KLM flight on the apron of Humberside Airport
This former RAF bomber command base played an essential role during wartime years. The base was purchased by former Lindsey County Council, which with further investment was brought up to Civil Aviation standards. Thanks to their foresight! When Humberside County Council was formed in 1974, LCC transferred the airport to it as an ‘arm’s length’ company. After the reorganisation of councils in 1996, the airport was transferred to the unitary authority. Eventually as years passed by, Manchester airport owned the majority shares and North Lincolnshire Council retained a shareholding. With this latest news, the airport will take on a new lease of life.
I remember the days when during Humberside County Council’s ownership, the transportation of live veal calves to the Continent took place on a very regular basis. The idea was to create more business for the airport. Under the auspices of Compassion in World Farming – a campaign I became involved in – there was a lot of attention surrounding this trade and the practise was eventually banned.

I do wish Paris would reappear on the list of flight destinations! I love Paris in the springtime. I love Paris when it sizzles!
