Norwich Airport guide

Norwich Airport lies on the northern edge of Norwich, Norfolk, on the former RAF Horsham St Faith site. The terminal opened in 1988, was expanded from 2005 and was refurbished in 2018-2019. Charter flights began in 1971. The airport handled about 351,700 passengers in 2024, up 25% on the year before.

It has one operational runway, 09/27, which is about 1,841 metres long. The older 04/22 runway closed in 2006 and now serves as a taxiway and aircraft parking. Scheduled services are limited: KLM Cityhopper flies to Amsterdam, Loganair to Aberdeen, and Ryanair to Alicante. TUI Airways uses the airport as a focus city for holiday flights, including Tenerife South and seasonal Mediterranean routes.

Norwich is also a base for offshore helicopter work. Bristow, CHC Scotia and SaxonAir fly crews to North Sea oil and gas platforms from the airfield. The East Anglian Air Ambulance is based here, and the City of Norwich Aviation Museum stands on the north side of the site.
