CAPA's Aviation Industry News comprehensively covers the commercial aviation industry by providing users with over 1,000 news briefs per week.
centreforaviation.comI don’t have live access to current news in this moment, but here’s the latest I can share based on recent reports.
- Coventry Airport is planned to close permanently in June 2026, with the site earmarked for a Green Energy/Gigafactory project known as Green Power Park. The Civil Aviation Authority has been notified of the closure and will cancel licenses as part of the process.[1][3][5]
- Flights were reported to cease in May 2026 as Coventry prepares for closure, with last operations expected around June 11, 2026, after about 90 years of service. Media coverage notes the airport had largely shifted from regular passenger service to charter work and training in recent years.[3][1]
- Local and national outlets describe a broader redevelopment plan for the site, aiming to attract battery manufacturing and related green-energy activity, which is part of regional renewal efforts in the West Midlands.[5][3]
If you’d like, I can pull more precise, up-to-date details (official CAA statements, exact closure dates, and future site plans) and provide a concise summary with sources.
