13 MAR 08: MAJOR PLANS FOR PERRANPORTH

THE site of the Cornish Perranporth airfield will become a major new centre of general aviation in the area, and create new jobs and income for the local community, if plans in place are allowed to go ahead.

The new owners of the coastal airfield have big ideas for the ex-WW2 site, which at present is running massively under capacity amid concerns about noise from local residents.

The site was recently bought by pilot entrepreneur John George, owner of the JAG Communications mobile phone retailer which is the third-largest independent in the UK.

George wants to increase the volume of traffic at the site – and help the local community
to boot – with a multimillion pound investment unveiled in a five-year plan.

He plans to move JAG’s corporate HQ to the site, bringing dozens of jobs, and has pledged improvements to the airfield to boost its viability as a working airfield, relieving pressure on nearby Newquay Airport.
