:00:43. > :00:44.Norwich Airport has a new owner He is Sir Peter Rigby,
:00:45. > :00:47.who is one of the richest mdn in Britain, and already runs

:01:19. > :01:21.has bought Norwich Wari figtre understood to be in the tens of
:01:22. > :01:26.millions of pounds. I think there is great potential. It is well managed,
:01:27. > :01:31.and it has got through the difficulty is in the past five years
:01:32. > :01:34.of business recession. Now, as the economy is picking up, we sde a
:01:35. > :01:40.travel being directly associated with the economy and we can see more

:01:49. > :01:53.and Southend. It handles ne`rly half a million passengers a year. Ten
:01:54. > :01:56.years ago, the Apple was sold by the local councils to a private

:02:08. > :02:12.routes and low fares. after the airport introduced a
:02:13. > :02:18.controversial ?3 development fee for improvements, Flybe withdrew
:02:19. > :02:23.services. Today, the development fee is ?10 per adult. Norwich is a
:02:24. > :02:27.helicopter hub naughtily oil industry, and operates flights to
:02:28. > :02:33.Amsterdam and a number of British cities, plus holiday flights. What
:02:34. > :02:36.do people want for a new owner? Getting in new airlines, you could
:02:37. > :02:39.Getting in new airlines, yot could advertise with easyJet and Ryanair.
:02:40. > :02:42.Locals would probably use that rather than going all the way to
:02:43. > :02:48.Stanstead. I needs more destinations, and the
:02:49. > :02:51.first thing that springs to mind is Cyprus. I would
:02:52. > :02:57.winter destinations, Lanzarote, maybe Gran canaria, summer and
:02:58. > :03:04.winter, like Alicante and M`laga. There are a lot of people who are
:03:05. > :03:09.pressing for those to return. New routes are being looked at, but what
:03:10. > :03:14.airport development fee will be staying at
:03:15. > :03:20.an integral part of the business model here, and will give
:03:21. > :03:27.the growth in routes I have just described. After a
:03:28. > :03:30.relieved to hear their rich new owner will be keeping them
:03:31. > :03:31.He set up the Rigby Group in 1975 with just ?2,000.
:03:32. > :03:34.The group now owns a string of hotels, specialist computer centres,
:03:35. > :03:42.and has a turnover thought to be in excess of two billion pounds a year.
:03:43. > :03:45.When I spoke to him at the airport today, I wanted to
:03:46. > :03:49.know why he wanted a third airport, and why he chose Norwich.
:03:50. > :03:56.Speak`macro it is a classic regional airport, and we think it is a
:03:57. > :04:02.perfect addition to our portfolio of regional airports. It is a classic
:04:03. > :04:05.regional airports with debt. Yes. All airports have a record of having
:04:06. > :04:14.to have significant capital investment, and the get in this
:04:15. > :04:18.airport is related to, first of all, the previous shareholders'
:04:19. > :04:23.acquisition, and secondly, to an accumulation of investments made at
:04:24. > :04:28.the time. So the airport itself, in terms of its operational
:04:29. > :04:32.requirements, does wash its face. Do you want to see more flights in?
:04:33. > :04:37.There would be some people who live near the airport who don't want to
:04:38. > :04:44.see more flights. course want to see more flights, and
:04:45. > :04:46.we want greater connectivity to the outside world from Norwich. Whenever
:04:47. > :04:51.you have people living close to you have people living closd to an
:04:52. > :04:59.airport, some of those people will object, and that is, I'm afraid, a
:05:00. > :05:02.fact of life. There are those that would tell you that if
:05:03. > :05:07.the downturn in passenger numbers here, it is directly related to the
:05:08. > :05:13.surcharge, ?10 per passenger now, to use this. I don't necessarily agree
:05:14. > :05:19.with that. I think the downturn at this airport is essentially in line
:05:20. > :05:28.with other regional airports, and it is that Cliff that the world went
:05:29. > :05:32.off in 2008. The numbers prior to that in all airports would have
:05:33. > :05:37.shown a steady and significant growth year in, year out, more
:05:38. > :05:40.people flying, more accessibility for flights. The decline came
:05:41. > :05:44.for flights. The decline cale with the decline of the economy. Are you
:05:45. > :05:49.somebody who thinks that a surcharge per passenger is a good
:05:50. > :05:53.thing? I think it is an essential thing as far as this airport is
:05:54. > :05:58.concerned. Do you see yoursdlf staying this size, or do yot see
:05:59. > :06:06.yourself going to be, say, Southend? Southend is in a different
:06:07. > :06:08.situation. It is calling itself London Southend, as opposed to
:06:09. > :06:15.flying into what are alreadx overcrowded London airports. I don't
:06:16. > :06:21.see Norwich London airport. It would be silly, in my opinion, to try and
:06:22. > :06:24.replicate that approach. Well I see other airlines coming into Norwich
:06:25. > :06:30.which may be going into Southend today? I hope so. And the ?10
:06:31. > :06:33.surcharge in five years will be what? ?10. Thank you very mtch.
