The business park has the capacity to become a world-class hub for cargo and airside operations, logistics, aerospace, manufacturing, advanced engineering, High Value Design (HVD), Maintenance, Repair and Operations (MRO) and Industry 4.0. Future development schemes provide a fantastic opportunity for sustainable economic growth and include the construction of additional residential accommodation, retail outlets, leisure, R&D, and training facilities.
