Coventry

Coventry (EGBE) is a general aviation airfield in the United Kingdom. The airfield sits at an elevation of 267 feet. It has 2 runways: 05 1825m (asphalt), 23 1825m (asphalt).

⚠️ **Now closed** — flight operations ended on 9 May, with final closure on 11 June 2026. The site is making way for a new industrial battery gigafactory. During its operational life, the ability to practise ILS and NDB approaches without exorbitant landing fees or restrictive slot times made EGBE a favourite destination for cross-country training flights from across the country. The adjacent Midland Air Museum — a short walk from the tower — remains well worth a visit, with a Vulcan bomber you can climb into and knowledgeable resident guides. A real loss to UK GA.
