Southampton City Council stressed in 2020 the possible benefits of winning, such as increases in tourism investment, and economic impacts throughout the city.
Speaking about the airport partnership, Shelina Permalloo, chair of Southampton 2025 Trust, said:
“Having Southampton Airport onboard is a fantastic opportunity to showcase the vast connectivity that Southampton has domestically and internationally. This partnership will not only support us to enable access for visitors to the city and wider region if we are successful with our bid. It also adds to our narrative of Southampton truly being a connected international city.”
Other partners are listed on Southampton's City of Culture site.
