## Description

Today it serves general aviation, flight training and private or executive charters, with freight moving only as charter belly loads via the resident operator LyddAir. There is no commercial cargo terminal; for planned air freight from Kent, London Gatwick Airport (IATA: LGW) is the nearest full option.
