Jet charter company Northern Executive Aviation (NEA), based at Manchester Airport, has begun renting its conference room for business meetings. Situated at its new UK£1.7 million terminal, the room overlooks one of the airport's main taxiways.\rSaid NEA's managing director, David Antrobus: "The most successful meetings usually occur after at least ten minutes of small talk and the view in the conference room is a great conversation topic and ice breaker. People communicate more effectively when they are relaxed and comfortable with their surroundings and we have created an atmosphere in this room conducive to that." NEA provides light refreshments throughout, and a buffet and conference equipment are available on request.
