Defence giant BAE Systems has offered help to aviation operators who are based at the soon-to-be-closed Blackpool Airport.
Owners Balfour Beatty said the airport will shut on Wednesday after it was unable to find a buyer.
The firm said it had been making a loss for a number of years and it was ending its involvement in regional airports.
BAE Systems said it was in talks with a number of operators to offer short-term use of its aviation facilities.
