Aberporth Airport (ICAO: EGFA) is an airport near the village of Aberporth, in the county of Ceredigion, West Wales. The site is being developed as "West Wales Airport" for domestic flights within Wales and the rest of the United Kingdom. The airport is also developing as a centre for the deployment of civil and military unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). The airport has recently undergone drastic developments, with the main runway almost doubling to 1257m.
The nearby M.o.D. range is used for testing rockets by the British military, as well as for launching civil rockets for atmospheric research.
Aberporth Aerodrome has a CAA Ordinary Licence (Number P859) that allows flights for the public transport of passengers or for flying instruction as authorised by the licensee. The aerodrome is not licensed for night use.[1]
