Turweston Aerodrome

What Travelers Love

• Modern Facilities & Cleanliness: The aerodrome boasts a new and shiny control tower incorporating a café and viewing area, which are frequently praised. The facilities are described as some of the best for general aviation in the UK, featuring gleaming windows and landscape gardens. The Flight Deck Café is highly regarded, with one reviewer calling it the "Waitrose of airfield cafes". There are also pilot lounge facilities with tea and coffee.
• Accessibility: Turweston is noted for being completely geared towards disabled people, with wheelchair-accessible entrances, a lift to the café and tower, and two disabled toilets.
• Friendly and Professional Staff: Reviewers consistently highlight the friendly and helpful nature of the staff and the relaxed yet professional atmosphere.
• Excellent Runways and Ample Parking: The main hard runway (09/27) is in very good condition, and there are also parallel and cross grass runways available. The apron is massive, providing plenty of space for visitors, with both paved and grass parking options. All-day parking is included with landing fees for specific events.
• Strategic Location and Transport Links: Situated just three miles from Silverstone Circuit, Turweston serves as a park and ride/heliport for major events like the British Grand Prix, with dedicated shuttle services for passengers. It also has good motorway access (A43 between M40 and M1) and connections to local railway stations.
• Efficient Operations (PPR and Refuelling): While Prior Permission Required (PPR) is mandatory, it is handled efficiently, with information on landing fees and refuelling services readily available. Avgas 100LL and Jet A1 are available, often with competitive pricing and discount landing fees for uplifting a certain volume of fuel.
