Cambridge Airport
"Cambridge Airport provides an essential gateway into Marshall Aerospace’s hangars for a wide variety of aircraft ranging from light piston engined aircraft to Boeing 747 aircraft for British Airways. Marshall Aerospace is also extensively involved in maintenance, modification and repair of a wide range of corporate executive jet aircraft, including Cessna, Gulfstream and Bombardier Global Express. Cambridge Airport also supports a wide variety of general aviation movements to help the local community, including the University, racing at Newmarket and a wide range of emerging high tech businesses. Five flying training schools are also based on the Airfield. The recently elected Liberal Democrat Council have, without any prior consultation or discussions with Marshall of Cambridge, announced that they would like to use the land currently occupied by the Airport for housing development and have suggested that the Airfield should move elsewhere. This would be a hugely expensive undertaking. It would also be highly disruptive to the business of Marshall Aerospace. In the meantime, Marshall of Cambridge continues to invest in the Airfield and its facilities. A new Instrument Landing System and associated approach lights were installed during late 1999, a new control tower was commissioned in the Spring of the year 2000 and a new area radar is in the course of installation."
(Cambridge Airport statement 28/11/00).
