CWL was purchased by the government from TBI Ltd. in 2013. The airport started as a RAF satellite base in the 1940s, and it saw its first civil flights in 1952 when an airline started a Dublin run from CWL. By the 1960s, there were over 100,000 passengers chartering holiday flights. The Concorde stopped over in the 1970s, but because of the short runway, could only arrive and depart without passengers. After an expansion of the runway, the airport could host transatlantic flights to destinations like Florida in the United States. CWL sees eight airlines offering flights, and five of those are seasonal flights.
Parking is available in short- and long-term lots, as well as premium spaces. Ground transportation includes buses, rail, taxis and coaches.
