development Zones / Place to GrowSituated on a massive 348 hectare (861 acre) airport site, adjacent to the operational airport and with access to the runway, several Zones have been identified to support aviation activity.

With three Airport Development Zones and a Business Park, Aerohub provides the ideal location for any aviation company looking to grow.

The Development Zones are already home to a number of aviation businesses, however there is significant space for development.

AirCrAft StorAgEThe airport benefits from large areas of hard standing able to support aircraft of any size. This is ideal for either short or long term aircraft storage.

roAD ACCESSThe Southern Access Road gives vehicle access to the southern side of the airport. The site is just five miles from the main A30, which links to the M5 Motorway and onto other major UK road networks.

PlAnningDevelopment Zones 1, 2 and 3 have full planning permission via a Local Development Order. Permitted uses include all aerospace and aviation activity.

The brainchild of Richard Noble, the car is being designed and engineered to reach speeds of up to 1,000mph, and will attempt to break the record in South Africa.

At the heart of this thrilling project is the desire to create a lasting legacy of excitement towards the Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths (STEM) fields. The BLOODHOUND SSC team are currently engaging with UK schools looking to inspire young people about STEM, and build the next generation of the UK’s engineering talent.

Following a successful rocket test in October 2012 in a Hardened Aircraft Shelter (HAS), BLOODHOUND SSC is back at Aerohub. The BLOODHOUND SSC team are setting up for a series of rocket and car testing programmes, as well as several local school educational days.

The BLOODHOUND SSC Super Sonic Car is the UK’s latest attempt at a land speed record.

The 26,500 sq ft hangar incorporates a helicopter hangar, briefing rooms and IT training rooms

Forty high skilled jobs (pilots, engineers and ground crew), including 13 aircrew instructors have been created

Over £1m invested by AgustaWestland (including £300,000 of ERDF Convergence investment)

Sixty students a year go through the OFTC (covering specific helicopter skills such as search and rescue and policing)

SPOtlIGht ON Flight training

The OFTC delivers high-quality training for helicopter pilots, engineers and mission crews.

AgustaWestland is an established provider of professional training services and solutions to a wide range of military, civil and industrial customers. The excellent training environment combined with the aviation services provided by Newquay Cornwall Airport are vital for AgustaWestland.

Unmanned Aerial Systems Newquay Cornwall Airport has partnered with West Wales Airport to create the National Aeronautical Centre (NAC).


CAA approved UAS operations manual - The first of its type in the world

World-class UAS facilities - Dual locations, centrally managed

UAS industry’s route to commercial operations - through the development of regulation and certification

Access to restricted airspace

Primary and Secondary radar

CAA licensed airport infrastructure

Long runway ( 2,744m), perfect for larger, next generation systems

Access to extensive European funding

UAS operations managed jointly with West Wales Airport

Strategic location on Western Approaches

About West Wales AirportEstablished as a civilian airport, it is theonlysiteineuropethatcanenabletheflyingofunmannedsystems under regulated conditions. With restricted airspace over land and sea, this privately owned airport offers exclusive services to the UAS market. These include:

West Wales Airport and Newquay Cornwall Airport work in partnership to provide the only infrastructure and restricted airspace available to operate UAS flights beyond visual line of sight in the EU.

These airports are enhanced by the organisations that also work in partnership with the NAC to deliver support to the sector’s most specialised operating environment.

Complementing West Wales’ UAS facilities, Newquay Cornwall Airport offers the Unmanned Aerial Systems sector a further unique opportunity to develop and grow, with:

West Wales Airport is currently home to:

Thales Watchkeeper UAS programme

Selex ES – UAS Centre

Ministry of Defence

Welsh Government

UAS testing under operational conditions

Primary and secondary radar

Tailored facilities

CAA licenced airport facilities

A unique environment for the development, testing and demonstration of systems and technologies associated with the aeronautical industry and the gateway to global Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) operations.

Royal Naval Air Station (RNAS) Culdrose:

Home to a workforce of more than 3,000 people

The largest single site employer in Cornwall

The busiest helicopter base in Europe

Equipped with state-of-the-art simulators and advanced IT packages

Home of the multi-million pound Merlin multi-role helicopter

from AgustaWestland

The engineering and training support structure for Culdrose is extensive. When skilled RNAS Culdrose helicopter maintenance employees reach the end of their Royal Navy service, they often look for work with locally based subcontractors. This has proved a huge benefit for private sector businesses such as Serco, Babcock Defence and Lockheed Martin UK, who have no problem recruiting skilled engineers locally.

RAF St Mawgan

RAF St Mawgan, adjacent to Newquay Cornwall Airport, is a fully operational base (although it has no direct access to the Airport). It is the home for the Defence Survival, Evasion, Resistance, Extraction School. The primary role is to provide administrative support to the school and ensure the delivery of up to 5,000 trained personnel per annum in support of current operations. A number of other units are located on the Station including Defence Training Estates and Air Training Corps.

Military Might Cornwall’s strong military presence provides a model for skills development.

long-term investment in Cornwall

lockheed Martin UKIn 1991 Lockheed Martin UK was awarded Prime Contract for the Royal Navy’s Merlin Mk1 multi-mission helicopter, the UK’s largest and most sophisticated systems integration project to date. In 2006, the company secured the Merlin Capability Sustainment Programme to upgrade the Merlin Mk1 to a new Mk2 standard. Thirty existing Mk1 aircraft will receive upgrades to significantly increase the multi-role capability potential in the maritime battlespace of the future. The Merlin Mk2 entered service with the Royal Navy in 2013.

SolutionBased at RNAS Culdrose, Lockheed Martin UK provides comprehensive support to the Royal Navy’s fleet of Merlin helicopters through AgustaWestland’s Integrated Merlin Operation Support (IMOS) contract. In addition, Lockheed Martin UK runs the Merlin Training System (MTS) or ‘Merlin University’ - a state-of-the-art training facility designed to train air and maintenance crews in the operation and support of the Merlin Weapons System.
