## Description

Cambridge City Airport (CBG/EGSC) is best understood as a manufacturer's airfield rather than a commercial gateway: scheduled passenger flights ended in 2016 and no cargo terminal has ever existed on the site. The aerodrome is owned and run by Marshall of Cambridge Aerospace, which holds a UK CAA public use licence and hosts business aviation, maintenance work and four flying schools. There is no routine freight acceptance, no customs post for goods and no freighter handling. Import and export traffic for Cambridge and the surrounding technology and life science cluster is normally routed through London Stansted (STN), roughly an hour away via the M11 and the largest cargo airport in eastern England, with East Midlands (EMA) covering express and overnight freight and London Heathrow (LHR) providing intercontinental belly capacity. Marshall announced in 2019 that flying operations at the site would cease by 2030 at the latest, so the airfield should not be treated as a long-term air cargo option.
