ORGANISATION'S STRUCTURE
Regional & City Airports (RCA) is the UK’s leading regional airport operator, led by a team with proven commercial and operational expertise in both the airport and airline sectors. RCA owns Bournemouth Airport, Coventry Airport, Exeter Airport and Norwich Airport, and operates City of Derry Airport on behalf of their owners, and operates Solent Airport on behalf of Fareham Borough Council. Through its operations RCA serves 2.3m passengers and manages over 215,000 aircraft movements a year, serving as a gateway to and from the UK for the 7m people that live in the airports’ passenger catchment areas.
RCA also operates the growing XLR Executive Jet Centres FBO business that currently has operations at Birmingham, Liverpool, Bournemouth and Exeter.
OUR BUSINESS
RCA’s vision is to help smaller regional airports to prosper through effective management and collaboration, enabling them to benefit from the economies of scale and sharing of best practice traditionally enjoyed by larger hub airports.
We are actively building our portfolio of owned or managed airport assets. As we grow we are increasingly able to leverage significant buying power and shared expertise. RCA has built a reputation as an efficient, safe and commercial airports operator, driving improvements to route development, commercial revenues, operating costs and capital investment to deliver a consistently sound commercial return.
OUR POLICIES ON SLAVERY AND HUMAN TRAFFICKING
We are committed to ensuring that there is no modern slavery or human trafficking in our supply chains or in any part of our business. Our Anti-slavery Policy reflects our commitment to acting ethically and with integrity in all our business relationships and to implementing and enforcing effective systems and controls to ensure slavery and human trafficking is not taking place anywhere in out supply chains.
As part of our initiative to identify and mitigate risk we have in place systems to:
- Identify and assess potential risk areas in our supply chains.
- Mitigate the risk of slavery and human trafficking occurring in our supply chains.
- Monitor potential risk areas in our supply chains.
- Protect whistle blowers.
SUPPLIER ADHERENCE TO OUR VALUES
RCA is communicating its Anti-Slavery Policy and expectations to its suppliers and business partners and will keep its supply chain arrangements under continuous review to ensure that its anti-slavery position is upheld. The group also intends to keep its policy and arrangements under continuous review to ensure that these remain adequate and effective in enabling all of the above companies to play their part in eradicating modern slavery and human trafficking.
This statement is made pursuant to section 54(1) of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and constitutes our Group's slavery and human trafficking statement for the financial year ending April 2020.
