A £45m investment around Whitley could be a catalyst to revitalise Coventry Airport said visiting business minister, Margot James.
The scheme, which will be part-funded by the Local Enterprise Partnership and Coventry City and Warwick District Councils, will cover 60 acres and link to the expanded Jaguar Land Rover headquarters.
The investment will be a "catalyst for growth" in other sectors, she said, "and if the airport benefits from that it will be a very good thing".
