TAG Aviation gears up for Farnborough
Farnborough Airport may be packed with an odd assortment of aircraft for this week’s show, but ordinarily it is strictly business.

Farnborough Airport may be packed with an odd assortment of aircraft for this week’s show, but ordinarily it is strictly business. Under the ownership of TAG Aviation (Chalet K15-16), the former Ministry of Defence site has been transformed into one of the London area’s leading business aviation gateways. And now, with a recent planning decision having gone in its favor, the company has begun a consultation process to prepare the case for a further increase in permitted annual movements.

In March, TAG won its appeal against an earlier local government decision prohibiting an increase from 2,500 to 5,000 movements on weekends and public holidays. The grounds for granting TAG’s appeal draw strongly on recent central government aviation policy that favors increased business aviation traffic at airports like Farnborough.
