Swansea Airport
Reviews
I done a charity skydive for The British Liver Trust in memory of my partner Mathew Rees who passed away August 13th 2016. The whole experience was amazing and the team at Swansea were incredible. Good job all I loved it.
Calling this an Airport is a slight exaggeration. Airfield would be Moor appropriate. I counted one small aircraft doing circuits and bumps in the time I was there and I am not aware of any scheduled for flights to to Llundain or say Spain. Not sure if runway is long enough and one presumes Cardiff and to close to make a it viable. The biggest disappointment and for me was the the apparent permanent jobs closure of the cafe. Every aerodrome as I would describe Fairford Common worth its salt should have one and it's a great shame if it's no longer be viable. Fly be now flies to to Llundain the from Cardiff. Given the fact Swansea city is further maybe the Swansea city council and chamber of commerce should encourage Flyby or similar to airline tickets to add Swansea city to the public network. I believe Air Wales with used to fly from Swansea city to Llundain. If that happens maybe the cafe will be reopen.
Gennerally not bad, but as of June 13, 2017, the caffee and restaurant are closed. Not really much happen here. Otherwise, nice to have that small airport within the Gower.
Been here for a flying lesson, the staff were helpful but distant, would not recommend bringing anything bigger than a piper in to land...
been flying here once. seemed very friendly. Nice place to takeoff from
A pleasant trip from Halfpenny Green on 29th November 2016 returning via Elan Valley. Staff were very welcoming and helpful, would recommend as a regular destination.
Airfield closed on Mondays and there is a mixture of LH and RH circuits so its important to ensure that you check before visiting.
Because of my flying altitude, my hearing was badly affected, if you have the same problem it may be advisable to make a low very wide circuit to equalise ear pressure before contacting ATC.
A very big thank you to all airport staff.
