Airport Overview

Page sections

Though an airport has existed on the site of Coventry Airport since 1933, the airport has only been operating as a passenger terminal since 2004. The operations are controversial as the terminal is housed in temporary buildings which were made without planning permission. The airport is trying to obtain planning permission for a permanent building. It is a hub for Thomsonfly, which has flights to 13 destinations in Europe. Central European low-cost carrier Wizz Air began flights from Coventry to Gdansk and Katowice in 2007. www.coventryairport.co.uk
