Coventry Airport (CVT) Information

(Coventry, West Midlands, England, UK)



Coventry Airport is a small facility operated by the Patriot Aviation Group. It is situated on the outskirts of Coventry, and currently serves only a limited number of flights and passengers. The airport was closed in 2009 due to financial difficulties, but reopened again as a more commercial operation soon after, in 2010. The facility operates as a commercial gateway for the West Midlands region of the UK, but presently no scheduled passenger flights are handled.

The site is to be found to the south of Coventry city centre, close to the A46 and A444 roads, making for easy access to the city. It comes with just one, fairly small terminal building.

The airport primarily serves private chartered flights into the West Midlands. Since its reopening, Coventry Airport has not expanded its commercial passenger operations. Most flights are cargo routes from Frankfurt, Lille and Dublin. These routes are flown by Nightexpress, RAF-Avia and West Atlantic airlines, respectively.
