A former RAF base turned aerospace and automotive cluster, MOD St Athan in the Vale of Glamorgan, Wales, now hosts Aston Martin as anchor tenant and eCube Solutions, which dismantles more than 50 retired airliners a year across multiple lines. MRO firms such as Caerdav service commercial aircraft here — adding a third heavy-check line for C-checks in June 2024 — alongside aircraft recycler Horizon Aircraft Services on the Bro Tathan / St Athan Aerospace Business Park. There are no commercial passenger or cargo flights. For air freight in South Wales, nearby Cardiff Airport (IATA: CWL) is the appropriate gateway.
