Aviation businesses
Base your next chapter at Swansea Airport
Swansea Airport is entering a more stable period for investment, growth, and aviation activity.
We are keen to hear from interested parties with aviation businesses who want to explore basing themselves at Swansea, from flight training and maintenance to aircraft services, experiences, hangarage, and complementary airfield operations.
Flying from Swansea
Run by passionate volunteers
Swansea Airport is mainly run by volunteers who are passionate about aviation and the local area. The team is dedicated to providing a safe, welcoming, and enjoyable experience for pilots, visitors, and aviation enthusiasts alike.
We are always looking for new volunteers to join our team. Whether you have experience in aviation or simply a love for flying, there are many ways to get involved and help support the airport.
We take volunteers from the age of 14 and offer a specific youth volunteer programme for 14 - 18 year olds which can be used to gain hours for Duke of Edinburgh awards or just because you are interested in aviation.

Swansea named Aerodrome of the Year by AOPA UK
Swansea Airport was presented with the Pooley Sword by Lord Davies of Gower at the 2026 conference of the UK Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association on 12 September. The Pooley Sword is presented annually to the best UK aerodrome for general aviation pilots to visit, as voted for by aerodrome users and AOPA members. It celebrates helpful service, welcoming facilities, and value for money. Bob Oliver MBE, Chairman of the Swansea Airport Stakeholders’ Alliance, the volunteer-run not-for-profit social enterprise that operates Swansea Airport accepted the award on behalf of the volunteers. In accepting the award, he paid tribute to the magnificent work of the volunteers who, in just two years had taken a loss-making aerodrome on the brink of dereliction and transformed it into a busy, viable and popular General Aviation aerodrome with a growing reputation for its welcoming, friendly and professional approach and its steady improvement in services and facilities.
Update on our CAA Aerodrome Licence
Our aerodrome licence has been temporarily suspended while we address a small number of areas for improvement. The airport remains fully open - normal flying activity, skydiving, flight training and café visits are unaffected. Only aircraft requiring a licensed aerodrome or CAT 1 RFFS cannot currently be accepted. We're working hard to get the licence reinstated as soon as possible.
The Armed Forces Covenant
Swansea Airport Stakeholders' Alliance has signed the Armed Forces Covenant, pledging support for serving personnel, veterans, reservists, cadets and military families. Chaired by Bob Oliver MBE, the Alliance has committed to actions across employment, education, engagement and communications - including guaranteed interviews for veterans, cadet work experience, expanded STEM and schools outreach, and backing for events like Armed Forces Day and Remembrance activities.
