## Description

Earls Colne Airfield near Colchester in Essex is a former military aerodrome now operated as a private field for business, training and sport flying, with no scheduled service, no cargo handling and no air-freight customs post.

London Stansted (STN) is the nearest freight station with express operations, Heathrow (LHR) covers intercontinental belly cargo and Southend (SEN) serves as a regional fallback.
