Humberside Airport (IATA: HUY, ICAO: EGNJ) is situated in North Lincolnshire, England, 10 miles west of Grimsby and 15 miles south of Kingston Upon Hull, England on the A18. It is a small international airport, owned by the Manchester Airport Group who also own Manchester International Airport. The airport faces strong competition for flights from Nottingham East Midlands Airport (70 miles) and the newly opened Robin Hood Airport Doncaster Sheffield (28 miles). The airport has a very high amount of General Aviation activity, with 5 resident flying clubs and organisations, this is due to the airport having some of the lowest landing and handling fees of its kind. It is a major operating base for helicopters flying to North Sea gas platforms. It also has a reputation for providing one of the best Air Traffic Control services in the region.
History
The airport was previously a Royal Air Force base, RAF Kirmington, opened in 1941 during World War II, from which 166 Squadron RAF operated the Lancaster bomber. The site was abandoned after the war in 1945, and lay unused until 1974 when the local council re-opened the site as Kirmington Airport. When the local area was renamed Humberside following local government re-organisation in England, the name was changed to Humberside Airport. The main 03/21 runway was extended to its current length in 1992, allowing operation of much larger aircraft.
