Yorkshire ForwardHangar 2 - The Design and Finish CentreRobin Hood Airport Doncaster£5.5m capital and £420,000 revenue for the refurbishment of Hangar 2. Work still ongoing. The project will create in Hangar 2 (55,000 sq ft), a unique (in Europe) business aviation refurbishment facility which will incorporate a 4d virtual reality design studio capability. The facility will be capable of a complete aircraft refurbishment programme, encompassing full external livery completion and full internal cabin strip out and refit.  Few such facilities exist in the world at present and none have the 4d capability that this project will introduce.  Given that a full maintenance, repair and overhaul capability is already established in Hangar 3, the overall capability to maintain, repair, repaint and internally refit business jet aircraft at one single location, on an international airport, makes this project unique in a global sense. Major outcomes this project will deliver include:- The development of a specialist and unique aviation cluster. Indigenous/foreign inward investment. New business opportunities (existing and start up). Employment and training opportunities in traditional artisan trades. £5,920,000ongoing

East Midlands Development Agency (EMDA)Skylink - Phase 2NEMAA joint kickstart bid for 1.3m was developed by NEMA and key partners, which advocated a medium term strategy of providing 24 hr 7 days a week bus service all year round to the airport from both the three cities and the surrounding rural hinterland to enable employment opportunities to be taken up and develop better links to regional destinations to support inbound tourism and business use. The bid, though basic, was successful and secured £701,000 to progress the project. The shortfall, however, meant that part of the proposal could not be delivered and this was likely to be detrimental to the overall integrity and success of the project. The level of funding achieved through Kickstart bid was insufficient to provide a full, high quality service from all three cities, with enhanced quality vehicles and associated marketing initiatives. Unless a full funding package could be achieved, the project would only be able to reach part of its target market and would not be able to achieve its full potential as a regenerative tool for the region. The partnership requested funding from EMDA to plug the shortfall, which would ensure the viability and sustainability of this project, which is of strategic importance to the whole region.£630,000.00
