Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask Her Majesty's Government how many new aerodromes have been built in the last ten years for which data is available.
This question was answered on 6th June 2018
In order for an aerodrome to be used for public transport flights or flight training in aircraft above a certain weight, it requires a licence or certificate issued by the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA).
In the last ten years there have been no newly built aerodromes that meet the criteria that would require a license or certificate to be issued by the CAA. Neither the Government nor the CAA possess information on aerodromes that are neither licensed nor certificated.
