## Description

Warton Aerodrome (IATA: WRT, ICAO: EGNO) is located in Warton near Preston, Lancashire, at approximately 17 metres — BAE Systems Lancashire's factory airfield, where Typhoon Eurofighter fighter jets are manufactured, tested, and delivered, as well as F-35 components and other defence programmes. The aerodrome is primarily used for BAE Systems factory flights, test flights, and military aviation; no civilian passenger operations. As a BAE Systems factory airfield, cargo activities related to military aviation components and MRO parts are documented; for regular freight, Manchester Airport (IATA: MAN) is the nearest option.
