MP backs plan for Aviation Security Training Centre
at Robin Hood Airport

3 July 2009

Caroline Flint has given her support to a new training centre for airport security staff, based in Doncaster.

The MP's support for the new scheme follows her visit to Redline Aviation, based at the National Aviation Academy. Redline train airport managers, security staff, baggage handlers in security procedures to keep our airlines safe.

Said Ms Flint: "Keeping air passengers safe on their journey is fundamental to this business. Without doubt, Redline has the expertise; the confidence of the airline industry to train to the highest of standards and is expanding fast.

"Robin Hood Airport is the right location with ideal buildings to run training and simulations, with a hotel nearby to accommodate trainees."

The MP has called on Yorkshire Forward and Business Link to offer every support. "Even in a recession, there are firms that are crying out to expand, bringing skilled jobs to Doncaster. That's why I want this new training centre here."

Said Paul Mason, Managing Director of Redline Aviation: "We were delighted that Caroline Flint took time out of her busy schedule to visit our firm, see our training and discuss our plans. Her interest in this project is very welcome."
