Hawarden Airport, officially known as Hawarden Airport (Chester), is a small regional airport located in Broughton, Flintshire, Wales, near the English border. It serves the Chester and North Wales region and operates limited scheduled passenger services alongside significant general aviation and business aviation traffic. The airport is best known for its close association with the Airbus wing manufacturing plant at Broughton, one of the world's largest such facilities. Specially modified Airbus Beluga aircraft regularly fly from Hawarden to transport completed wings to Airbus final assembly lines in Toulouse and Hamburg. This industrial aviation activity gives the airport a unique character distinguishing it from typical regional airports. Despite its modest passenger terminal, Hawarden attracts aviation enthusiasts keen to observe Beluga operations. The airport also supports flight training and corporate aviation, and has historically offered scheduled routes to destinations such as Aberdeen and Belfast.
