Leicester Airport

Leicester airport is one of the few Aero clubs around today. It has a long history, starting from 1909.

It has a homely feel. The airport has its own bar with food service and of coarse the airport has its own flying lessons.






The airport used to be owned by the RAF in the 1940s, used to keep fighter aircrafts.
