Small regional airport serving the Isle of Anglesey, Wales.

Opened
1942
Location
Anglesey, United Kingdom
Anglesey Airport, also known as RAF Valley Airport or Caernarfon-adjacent, is a small regional airport located on the Isle of Anglesey in north Wales. It shares its site with RAF Valley, an active Royal Air Force station primarily used for fast jet pilot training with Hawk T2 aircraft. The airport serves limited civilian traffic, historically offering scheduled services to Cardiff and other UK destinations. Its remote island location and military co-use shape its operational character, with civilian services dependent on demand and subsidy arrangements. The airport plays an important role in connectivity for the island community, providing an air link to the Welsh capital and reducing reliance on road and rail routes across the Menai Strait.
Terminals
The airport has a single small terminal building handling modest passenger volumes on scheduled and charter services.
Getting to & from
