Latest News About Coventry Airport Closure

Coventry Airport is set to close permanently in June 2026 to make way for a green energy site, with flights halted ahead of the closure. The Civil Aviation Authority has confirmed the closure timetable, and local plans point to a transition to a battery gigafactory project in the area.[2][4][6]

Key points:

• Closure date: June 11, 2026 (per CAA notice), with operations stopping before that date.[4]
• Post-closure use: site redeveloped as Greenpower Park, a battery manufacturing and recycling facility as part of regional manufacturing initiatives.[1][2]
• Last flights: passenger services largely ceased long before 2026; remaining charter, flight training, and private operations have wound down ahead of the final shutdown.[6][2]

If you’re traveling soon or need alternatives:

• Consider nearby airports for short-haul options (e.g., Birmingham or East Midlands) and check current flight schedules.
• For freight/aviation services currently offered at Coventry before closure, contact operators directly or consult local travel advisories forUpdates on access or flight schools relocating.
