- Exchange information and ideas
- Consider and comment upon the airport’s administration, operation and development, including:
- Existing and proposed facilities at the airport
- Surface access issues associated with the airport
- The environmental impacts of the airport, including noise
- The role of the airport in the local and regional economy, including as a local employer
- Maintain an overview of trends, performance, perceptions, complaints and potential challenges
- Make recommendations to the airport management, and other bodies where appropriate
Members of the Committee
The Consultative Committee comprises members who represent the interests of the local community and local businesses, aerodrome users and the three local authorities that the airport is located in.
The Committee is chaired by:
