Swansea Airport Mini Guide

Air Wales used to run routes from Swansea airport but all scheduled flights were stopped in 2004. The airport is more popular for flying instruction where people can obtain their flying licence. It is also the home of a skydiving club which operates in association with the British Parachute Association. A Wales Air ambulance helicopter is also based at Swansea airport. Picking up your rental car from Swansea airport allows you to explore this most beautiful of coastal Welsh cities. Around a quarter of a million people live in Swansea, making it the second largest city in Wales after Cardiff.

Swansea was certainly transformed by the industrial revolution and, having been a spa town and a market town, then became a great coal centre and a railway hub. Although a great part of Swansea’s architecture was destroyed by bombs in the Second World War, the city was rebuilt tastefully while a number of fascinating medieval castles still remain. Highlights of Swansea are definitely the maritime centre and the many parks which make the city feel green and pleasant. This means that there are two sides to Swansea, one urban and one rural.

Swansea airport has three runways though only two are in use. The small terminal has seats for about 25 passengers. To get to the airport you should take the A4118 road which goes through the Gower Peninsula. Swansea airport is not far away from the M4 motorway, which runs between west Wales and London, either.

The small airport at Swansea is located on the Gower Peninsula to the west of the Welsh city. Although the airport has a licence to make flights for public transport there is no night flying licence which restricts the scope of any planned flights from Swansea airport.
