Take That mark Coventry Airport's final flight

Members of pop group Take That were the last passengers to fly into Coventry Airport before its closure, according to a post shared by the airport. The band arrived on what airport staff described as the final booked commercial flight before operations cease at the site. Coventry Airport is due to close on 11 June for the development of the £2.5bn Greenpower Park, a joint venture between Coventry City Council and Coventry Airport. In a light-hearted message on Facebook, airport officials said the musicians asked to have their photograph taken with the ground crew after learning they would be the airport's last commercial passengers. The post joked that staff would normally decline such requests, because they did not like people "using our image to further their careers", but made an exception on the historic occasion. Airport staff thanked the band for taking time to speak to crew members, posed for a photograph and wished employees well for the future. Take That, one of the UK's most successful pop acts, have sold millions of records since forming in 1990 and continue to tour and perform across the country. The band were in Coventry after playing three consecutive nights at the CB
