TAG Aviation is working hard to provide European business aviation with a resource it desperately needs–an airport to call its own. Even before construction work began this summer, the group made a substantial investment in an exhaustive lobbying effort to redevelop Britain’s Farnborough airfield as a dedicated business aviation airport. The next major goal is to secure the required civil airport license for Farnborough by the end of December 2002, with work on the new executive terminal and a first set of three hangars likely to be completed by mid-2003.
Under way already are a new control tower and the redevelopment of the main 07/25 runway. Most runway work will be conducted at night, but to expedite the project, TAG opted for three weekend closures during August and early September. The runway should be finished by the end of December and the tower by the end of next year.
