Newquay Cornwall Airport (Hall 1 Stand B16) is hoping that helicopter manufacturer Agusta-Westland’s recent decision to establish a new flight training facility could prove to be the first step in building an aerospace business hub at the former Royal Air Force base in the southwest of England. The $1.5 million development was announced on March 31, and includes funding from the European Regional Development Fund.
AgustaWestland Training Organisation will run its helicopter flight training program for up to 50 students each year at Newquay, with courses covering rotorcraft applications such as search and rescue, and policing. The program will use AW139 and AW109 Power helicopters.
