Cambridge's general aviation and business airport.

Opened
1938
Location
Cambridge, United Kingdom
Cambridge City Airport (IATA: CBG, ICAO: EGSC) is a small general aviation and business airport located on the northeastern outskirts of Cambridge, Cambridgeshire, England. It serves primarily private, charter, and business aviation traffic rather than scheduled commercial airline services. The airport has historically been linked to Marshall Aerospace and Defence Group, which operated and owned the site for many decades. Marshall used the airport as a base for aircraft maintenance, modification, and engineering work, making it an important centre for aerospace manufacturing in the region. In recent years, the future of the airport has been subject to significant debate, with proposals to close the site and redevelop the land for housing and a new urban district, reflecting pressure on Cambridge's housing supply. Any closure would represent the end of a long aviation history at the site.

The airport has modest general aviation facilities without a large commercial passenger terminal.
