Blackpool Airport
Blackpool Airport, coded BLK, is located in Blackpool, a coastal town in Lancashire, England, near the Irish Sea. Elevation stays low here, just 34 feet, and two runways serve mostly general aviation and helicopter traffic today. Blackpool itself is known as a seaside resort town, and the airport lies within easy reach of the beachfront that draws visitors to the area throughout the year. The two-runway layout gives BLK more operational capacity than many similarly sized regional fields in northern England, supporting a mix of private, charter, and training flights.
