## Description

Compton Abbas Aerodrome is a privately run grass airfield on the chalk downs near Shaftesbury in Dorset, known for flight training, pleasure flights and club flying. There is no scheduled service, no cargo handling, no customs clearance and no IATA code, so it has no significance for air freight. Consignments from north Dorset and neighbouring Wiltshire are handled at Bournemouth (BOH) and Southampton (SOU) regionally, with intercontinental main legs through London Heathrow (LHR) or the East Midlands cargo airport (EMA).
