Government reopening of businesses and venues
The Government has set out 4 Steps which will allow various businesses and venues to re-open no earlier than specified dates which allows us to plan for private flying and flying training activities to resume.
Full details of the Government Roadmap for General Aviation can be found here:
From 29th March
Government plans permit GA flying for non-professional purposes for solo pilots, or individuals flying with a member of their household or bubble. Training for professional pilots are able to continue. Training for leisure of recreational purposes may take place where rules around social distancing can be followed. GA activities should take place in line with wider restrictions. Travel should be minimised as far as possible.
The airfield will remain closed on Monday 29th March, with opening commencing from Tuesday 30th March as follows;
Monday - Closed (Except pre-approved emergency, military, essential services and commercial helicopters on request)
Tuesday to Sunday, 0900-1800hrs. (Unlicenced from 1700-1800hrs due reduced RFFS).
Public Access available Tuesday-Sunday 0900-1800.
All Touch and Goes £1
Most pilots have not flown for several months. Additionally to fly passengers pilots must have completed 3 take off and landings in the last 90 days. We are supporting pilots by reducing the touch and go fee to £1 each until 31st May 2021.
Terms and conditions apply. Offer available to based and non based aircraft. Landing fee applies. Circuits subject to availability and traffic capacity. PPR applies. All flights must be booked out.

From 12th April (subject to Government)
The airfield will remain closed on Monday 12th April, with opening and public access from Tuesday 13th April as above, however flying training is able to resume.
To manage phased increases in activity levels some limitations on circuits may apply.
