The Role of the FACC
Farnborough Aerodrome Consultative Committee, is an independent Consultative Committee established by TAG Aviation
in accordance with a Section 106 agreement of the Town and Country Planning Act
The Consultative Committee is the forum in which the management of TAG Aviation, as the management of Farnborough
Aerodrome interacts with local public agencies, residential communities and with Airport users on a range of
environmental and other airport issues.
Farnborough is the largest dedicated UK Business Aerodrome currently handling around 23,000 flights per annum.
Like all airports, Farnborough affects people's lives in many different ways. On the one hand it offers a wide range of
jobs and brings economic benefits and prosperity to the area. But on the other hand it can cause a number of problems
and concerns to local communities, particularly on issues such as aircraft noise both in the air and on the ground,
pollution, development demands, traffic and parking. Also, the business traveller's experience of the airport, as well as
the needs of the operators, are very important elements in the consideration of the airport's future.
FACC seeks to reach a common understanding between the various interests about the nature and operation of the
airport so that issues can be resolved amicably. It is therefore the custom and practice of the Committee to ensure that
all views are properly reflected and, wherever possible, to work through consensus. Seeking a balance between these
wide and conflicting interests is a challenging role. Our primary objective is to ensure the future success of Farnborough
providing high quality services to its business customers and operators, having particular regard to the impact this has
on the surrounding communities.
The Committee has 24 appointed representatives from a wide range of interests including local authorities, civil aviation,
business and community groups, together with TAG senior management.
