Coventry Airport has lost its High Court appeal to build a new terminal building capable of handling up to two million passengers a year.
Airport bosses had gone to the High Court following last year’s shock decision by the Government’s chief planning inspector to block the terminal bid.
Speaking to Flightmapping.com this afternoon (October 6), Coventry Airport’s chief executive, Chris Orphanou, said: “We have just been advised of the outcome of the High Court Hearing and are naturally disappointed with the result. We will now take time to examine the full report and its implications.”
The airport now has 28 days to decide whether to take its case to the Court of Appeal.
