Thread: Better Airport Names for Britain

Most of our airports have boring names taken from their location. There are just three named for individuals and frankly, they are pretty naff: there are Liverpool John Lennon Airport, George Best Belfast City Airport and Robin Hood Doncaster Sheffield Airport (with a name as long as the runway).
Of these three we have one named for a terrorist and two for flawed geniuses who died young. None of our major airports are named for great British people or events and I think this is a missed opportunity. What do you guys think? We have airports elsewhere named for great explorers (Marco Polo, Vespucci), statesmen (De Gaulle, JFK, Simon Bolivar) and cultural figures (Prokofiev, Fellini, Strauss) plus many more.
Any suggestions, ideally with some back up? I'm thinking particularly of the UK but there are other countries that don't go in for it to the extent the USA, Mexico and Italy seem to.

I'd like to raise an objection to the airport at Ramsgate being known as Manston London. It takes ages to get to London from Ramsgate. London Oxford Airport is no better either. I suggest renaming them forthwith, though I accept that sooner or later someone is going to suggest Beckham International.

One could legimately name Manston "Ostend International". Damn it, when the hovercraft ran you could get from there to Ostend faster than one could get to London on the rattler. The phenomenom of airports like Oxford being known as "London" (or Beauvais as "Paris") is a whole n'other thing.
Stansted is the prime candidate for Beckham International, innit?

Long, long ago when they were trying to push through the planned airport at Foulness in the Thames Estuary, they wanted to call it Churchill.

Yes, perhaps we could rename Cardiff Airport after one of our local heroes:
James Callaghan Airport. Where the baggage goes unhandled and the passports go unchecked.
Scott of the Antarctic Airport. I may be some time...
So on a more serious note, I suggest that the Brits don't go in for naming airports after people because we'd only take the piss.

Having spent most of my life living near Luton and Gatwick (not at the same time), I would drop the 'London' from them as neither of them are in or particularly near London.
I fear any renaming would go the way of the football stadiums, with the name being forced to be that of a corporate sponsor. Anyone for Gregg's International Airport?

London City airport should be renamed Eastenders Airport. Or possibly Dirty Den Airport.
I also think all UK airports should be named as airports for their capital. London Birmingham International? London Preston?
Edinburgh Aberdeen Airport?
Of course the reason is that airlines like Easyjet can fly into a "London" airport, despite the fact that it is 100+ miles from London, and is therefore cheaper. Save Ł80 on your air fare, pay Ł100 to get into the city you wanted to be in. Makes sense to me.

I've always taken the view that it was probably the same sort of reasoning that doesn't put the name of the country on our stamps, a sort of heroic combination of self-confidence and bashful unwillingness to create a fuss - "our airports don't need names, whatever they do abroad", etc.
Personally I lament the loss of Ringway, Speke, Ha'penny Green, Staverton, and London airports beneath the more corporate Manchester, Liverpool John Lennon, Wolverhampton Business (!), Gloucestershire M5 (!!), and Heathrow respectively. One for Flanders and Swann perhaps?
Incidentally although London Oxford is just wrong, it pales into insignificance beside the (I think German) low cost airline 10 or so years ago which was advertising flights to London Prestwick. Just a short 8.5 hour train transfer away....

For somebody coming from overseas, London Gatwick seems quite a reasonable name for an airport located in the urban sprawl emanating from London and connected to the city centre with a 30-40 minute train trip to major stations in the middle of London.
Dropping either London or Gatwick from the name would be silly, because both are functional parts of the name giving the coarse location relevant for international travellers unfamiliar with the local geography (London) and something of a locally-understood fine location (Gatwick).

In France it is common to name the airport after the nearest large town or city coupled with the name of the commune or region it is actually located in, as in Bordeaux-Merignac, Lyon-Saint Exupéry, Nantes Atlantique or Marseilles Provence. Of course there are exceptions, like Paris Charles de Gaulle.

In Canada they like to name airports after dead people who aren't very famous, except possibly P.E. Trudeau, who hasn't been forgotten yet. Imagine what would happen if they did the same for railway stations... Robert Burns International at Prestwick? Sir Walter Scott instead of Waverley? Alex Salmond... When I travel I simply want to know where I'm going, so the nearest big town works fine for me. I do miss Turnhouse and Abbotsinch and Dyce, though I concede they are close enough to big places to justify the name changes.

Well, it's not in the urban sprawl. There is the entire county of Surrey between Gatwick & London.
The problem was highlighted to me after I overheard a guy asking for a taxi to get to Piccadilly Circus. Knowing the airport taxi prices, that would have cost him a fortune. He was under the mistaken impression that having landed at London Gatwick that he was actually in London, rather than half way to the south coast.

We should rename Cardiff Rhoose as Bob Hope Wales Airport - his parents came from Barry which is just up the road.
Belfast International - how about Samuel Ferguson Airport a fine poet (sometimes referred to as Northern Ireland's poet laureate, he was in at the beginning of the Irish literary revival and an inspiration to Yeats.
Luton should become Lorraine Chase Airport after the star of those splendid adverts for Campari (or perhaps Chase-Clyde if we include the name of her co-star).
Manchester (Ringway) should be renamed Sir John Alcock Airport - quite apt considering he and Arthur Brown made the first non-stop transatlantic flight.

For those with (fond?) memories of 'Crossroads', perhaps Birmingham International should become Benny Bobblehat Airport or perhaps Miss Doi-Anne Aerodrome ?
Cardiff/Rhoose should be named after its new owner, Maes Awyr Pobl Cymru - The People of Wales Airport . Liverpool should be named after all the Beatles, although John Paul George and Ringo Airport might take up a lot of room on the luggage tags (and the possibility of being thought a partial tribute to the late Pope).
If we want descriptive titles, then London Long Queue could replace Heathrow, and London not London for Stansted.

While I appreciate the qualities of the lady, why would an airport in Scotland be named after the first female Cabinet Minister in Canada? ![[Biased]](wink.gif)
Of course, Canada is somewhat Scottish (very strongly in Cape Breton, which should really have been named Hebrides 2) so I'm sure that this would be received favorably by quite a lot of the outcasts.

Hell, they should rename Birmingham itself after the band.
The Iron Maiden Airport for London, with terminals named "Aces high" and "Where eagles dare".
An airport named after Churchill would be ghastly. Perhaps Cardiff could have the Aneurin Bevan Aiport in response.
I'm going through a phase of hatred of "Imagine" by Lennon, and anyway, the Kenny Dalglish Airport sounds much much better.
The old airport here in Wroclaw was named after Kopernikus, who wasn't from here (though his background was both German and Polish, like Wroclaw itself). If one doesn't have to come from here we would have the Róża Luksemburg Airport, or the Dietrich Bonhoeffer Airport, who was born here.

Glasgow Prestwick may well become Rabbie Burns International, although I would prefer Elvis Presley myself.
There must be a suitably punny strapline, better than "Pure dead Brilliant".
