Wycombe Air Park/Booker Airport (ICAO: EGTB) is located 2.4 nautical miles (4.4 km) southwest of High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, England. It was formerly the Royal Air Force base, RAF Booker.[1]

Wycombe Air Park (Booker) Aerodrome has a CAA Ordinary Licence (Number P523) that allows flights for the public transport of passengers or for flying instruction as authorised by the licensee (Airways Aero Associations Limited)[2].

[edit] Use of the Aerodrome

The lease on the Aerodrome is held by Airways Aero Associations, once a subsidiary of British Airways, who run the British Airways flying club from the airfield.[3] They provide Air Traffic Control, Firefighting and other services to all the park users. The shareholding of AAA Ltd was sold in 2007 to Arora Family Trust, of which Surinder Arora and his family are beneficiaries.

Other users include Booker Gliding Club[4] and Wycombe Air Centre.[5]

It has also been home to AeroExpo General Aviation Air Exhibition since 2006.
