WELCOME TO
BRIGHTON CITY AIRPORT
The oldest licenced aerodrome in the UK
Brighton City Airport (formerly known as Shoreham Airport) is one of the world’s oldest commercial airports, with the first recorded flight taking place in 1910! Today, the airfield remains at the forefront of British aviation, as a major centre for pilot training, pleasure flights and private jet and helicopter charters. It is one of the busiest – and most interesting – general aviation airfields in the UK.
The airport boasts a historically-significant Main Terminal Building, which was opened in 1936. With its geometric exterior and original Art Deco features, the Main Terminal Building still stands proud and splendid.
Brighton City Airport offers convenient access to everything the South East has to offer. Minutes from the A27, the airport has excellent road access to the local area and great transport links to London, France and further into Continental Europe.
Open 7 days a week, a warm and professional welcome awaits.
