Bolt Head, on the south Devon coast near Kingsbridge, is a small airfield on the site of a former Second World War military station and today sees only private and sport flying. There is no scheduled service, IATA code, cargo terminal or customs facility, so it has no role in air freight. Consignments from the South West move through Exeter (EXT), about 80 kilometres to the north-east, Bristol (BRS), or London Heathrow (LHR) for intercontinental cargo; Plymouth airport has been closed since 2011.
