Farnborough Airport is launching a public consultation process which seeks feedback from its local communities on the airport’s long-term growth potential and the economic benefits this would bring.

As one of the largest employment sites in the local area, Farnborough Airport contributes £200m to the local economy each year, supporting many thousands of direct and indirect jobs in the process.

Ensuring this continues is vital to the future of both the Airport and its regional economy.

Farnborough has been the home of British aviation for nearly 120 years and is the nexus of a vibrant
and growing aerospace cluster, with world-class aviation and ancillary businesses attracted to the
region, bringing high-skilled and well-paid jobs to Hampshire, Surrey and beyond.

Through a combination of market growth and limited airport capacity elsewhere, market demand for
flights from Farnborough Airport is forecast to reach 70,000 per year by 2040.

To meet this increasing demand and to safeguard the Airport’s long-term future, Farnborough Airport will be holding a consultation process to seek feedback on proposals to amend its annual flight limit from 50,000 to 70,000 per year.

The proposals, alongside other operational changes, will enable Farnborough Airport to continue to be
the catalyst for long-term economic prosperity in the region, supporting directly and indirectly 4,100 local jobs and generating £470m of Gross Value Added by 2040.

Farnborough Airport will also be consulting on a number of proposals to enhance and improve its
community funds programme. The Airport is proposing to increase the levels of funding for environmental and community projects in the local area, including the launch of a new Sustainability Fund.

Simon Geere, chief executive of Farnborough Airport said, “By satisfying the growing demand for connectivity from Farnborough Airport, our proposals will create hundreds of new jobs within the local community and give a boost to the unique aerospace cluster that we are part of. This will be vitally important for the future economic prosperity of the region.

“At the same time, Farnborough Airport is leading the way on airport sustainability. We recently
achieved Level 4+ Carbon Neutrality which is the highest possible accolade, and last year we set
ourselves one of the most ambitious targets in the industry, by committing to be Net Zero across our
controllable emissions by 2030 or sooner.

“We are looking forward to sharing our proposals for the future of the Airport with the local community
and receiving feedback on how we can continue to contribute to the ongoing economic prosperity of the
communities we serve.”

All members of the local community are invited to take part in the consultation and more
information is available on the project website: FarnboroughAirport2040.com.

Detailed information about the proposals will be shared with the public from 20th September 2023.

The information will be available to view on the website and at six public consultation events.
