We’re incredibly excited about Ancala-backed Liverpool John Lennon Airport bringing Jet2.com and Jet2holidays on board. The UK’s largest tour operator and third largest airline will start flying from Liverpool to 20 sunshine destinations from 28 March 2024.
 
Jet2’s arrival at Liverpool John Lennon Airport also represents a significant investment for the Merseyside region. The airline’s new operations will create more than 200 jobs across flight deck, cabin crew, engineering, and ground operations. 
 
We first invested in Liverpool John Lennon Airport in 2019. Since then, the airport has improved its industry-leading customer services and increased Liverpool’s global connectivity through adding a number of new airlines. #infrastructureinvestment  #expansion #jobs

Ancala's Ankur Ajmera features in Infrastructure Investor's insightful article about increasing biogas production across Europe, investment opportunities and supporting the energy transition.
 
We were an early mover into the biofuel space having invested in Biogen (UK) Ltd in 2017. We have since supported the business to complete three acquisitions, optimise its production, and more than double its revenues to almost £50m in its latest financial year.
 
Discussing Biogen and the merits of the biofuel sector with the publication, Ankur Ajmera commented: “The strong majority of our revenues are supported by 20-year inflation-linked, government backed support schemes, which results in meaningful downside protection and an attractive cash-flow profile for our investors.”
