History:
Cornwall Newquay Airport started as RAF St Mawgan EGDG, an airbase for the Royal Air Force during World War II. The airfield was primarily used for anti-submarine patrols and as a Coastal Command base. RAF St Mawgan continued to be an important base for maritime reconnaissance and search and rescue operations. The United States Navy used the base for anti-submarine warfare during the Cold War. The Air base was also home to classic British Nimrod during the 1980s,1990s and 2000s. In the 1980s saw the construction of the Hardened Aircraft Shelters (HAS) which were primarily used to house and protect the United States Air Force aircraft. Specifically F-111, these shelters were designed to safeguard the aircraft from potential Soviet attacks during the Cold War. In 2008 the airport was rebranded as Newquay Cornwall Airport and officially separated from RAF St Mawgan. Commercial operations were expanded, and investment was made to upgrade facilities to support increased passenger traffic. In 2019 Cornwall Airport Newquay was recognized as the fastest-growing airport in the UK in terms of passenger numbers, reflecting its increasing popularity. In 2021 The UK Space Agency announced that Cornwall Airport Newquay would be the site of Spaceport Cornwall, with plans for horizontal satellite launches in partnership with Virgin Orbit and in 2022 Spaceport Cornwall saw its first operational activities, marking a significant milestone in the airport's history and its role in the UK's space industry.
