For every take-off or landing at Farnborough airport, the community environmental fund receives money to help support local projects.
The airport pays a levy of £2 for every take-off or landing, or £5 if the aircraft is a Boeing business jet or an Airbus A310 corporate jet.
This money goes into the Farnborough airport community environmental fund, which we manage. For aircraft movements in 2023 we received £65,373 for this fund. There is currently £68,858 available for grants.
We consider applications every month, until all the funding runs out.
Your organisation can only be awarded one grant in a financial year (April to March).
