Atlantic Airlines
On 8 December 2009, Atlantic Airlines' biggest base, Coventry Airport, was closed for financial reasons, causing Atlantic Airlines to cease all cargo flights to and from the airport. Atlantic Airlines moved all Coventry flights to Birmingham on a temporary basis as a result. The airline recommenced operations out of Coventry Airport when it reopened after it was bought by Sir Peter Rigby. But the airline has since moved out of Coventry Airport: it set up new airline offices to the south of Coventry Airport and relocated its Operational and Line Maintenance Control Centre to East Midlands Airport. The West Atlantic Group also has a large maintenance hangar at East Midlands Airport, capable of maintaining the Boeing 737 and other group aircraft types.
