## Description

The codes VLY and EGOV still appear in databases, but Anglesey Airport at Valley in North Wales no longer serves civil traffic. Passenger flights stopped in March 2020, the subsidised Cardiff link was withdrawn in 2022, and civil airport operations ended by 2024. The site continues as RAF Valley, an active Royal Air Force station running advanced fixed-wing pilot training on the Hawk and Texan and rotary training on the Juno and Jupiter. No cargo is handled and there is no customs facility on site. Anglesey's freight moves instead through Holyhead, about 15 km northwest — Britain's principal ro-ro ferry gateway to Ireland, which storm damage closed for several weeks from December 2024. For air freight, Cardiff Airport (IATA: CWL) lies roughly 350 road kilometres south, while shippers in North Wales more often use Manchester (MAN), about 160 km east.
