Why isn’t the Council renegotiating the 106 now?
Infratil Airports Europe operates Kent International Airport, along with several larger airports, both elsewhere in this country (Glasgow Prestwick), Germany and Wellington in New Zealand. The company is investing in necessary infrastructure at Kent International, such as radar, new power supplies and runway maintenance, but future business developments and expansion proposals are under development. Any new agreement must be linked to a known and increasing volume of aircraft movements. Therefore, the Council needs to know details of the number and type of aircraft and any projected increase in traffic levels to the airport, before we can begin to draft a new agreement that puts measures in place to minimise the disruption to local people’s lives.balance the benefits flowing from airport development with the other needs of the community with appropriate environmental controls..
