London Ashford Airport and on-site executive services provider FAL Aviation UK are giving local businesses the chance to help shape the future of air travel services from Kent. As part of a comprehensive research initiative, the airport, on Romney Marsh, and FAL Aviation have launched a survey to gauge the business travel needs of companies across Kent, East Sussex and beyond.

The survey gives business travellers the chance to have their say on what they think about the commercial air passenger service options currently available to them, the problems they face, the destinations they fly to most frequently, their preferred airlines and whether or not they feel it’s important to have commercial air services available from London Ashford Airport(Lydd).

FAL Aviation’s marketing manager Tim Gill said: We are in talks with a number of commercial airline operators and the opinions of business travellers across the region are vitally important in helping us to provide the kind of services and routes that will benefit them the most.

By investing a small amount of time to complete our online survey, businesses can play a major part in helping to bring top-quality air services into Kent, which will ultimately provide them with convenient links to key commercial locations around the UK and Western Europe.’

All those who complete the survey will be entered into a prize draw to win a champagne reception for four at FAL Aviation’s VIP lounges at LondonAshfordAirport(Lydd), lunch at the luxury Eastwell Manor hotel, plus return transfers by chauffer-driven limousine.
