It's been a pleasure to welcome the Royal Netherlands Air and Space Force to Carlisle Lake District Airport over the past five weeks as they carried out Military Exercise HWIC TAC 2026.
With more than 300 military personnel, four Chinook helicopters and seven Apache helicopters calling the airport home during the exercise, it's certainly been a memorable few weeks! It has been fantastic to see the airport playing a part in supporting such an important international training exercise.
As a special thank you, Allan Jenkinson was presented with a commemorative plaque by the leading Contracting Officer of Procurement Centre of the Royal Netherlands Air and Space Force in recognition of the support provided throughout the deployment.
We hope your time in Cumbria has been both productive and enjoyable. Thank you for choosing Carlisle Lake District Airport, and from everyone here, we wish you a safe journey home. We hope to welcome you back again in the future!
