Humberside Airport

Humberside Airport is an international airport at Kirmington in the Borough of North Lincolnshire, England, 10 NM from three large settlements: Grimsby , Hull and Scunthorpe , on the A18, the latter two places reached by longer roads, in the case of Hull via England's longest bridge that crosses the Humber. It was owned by Manchester Airports Group from 1999 until 1 August 2012, when it was sold to the Eastern Group of companies. North Lincolnshire Council retains a minority of shares in the Airport.
The airport was previously a Royal Air Force base, RAF Kirmington, opened in 1941 during the Second World War, from which No. 166 Squadron RAF operated the Avro Lancaster. The site was abandoned after the war in 1945, and lay unused until 1974 when the local council re-opened the site as Kirmington Airport. When the local area was renamed Humberside following local government re-organisation in England, the name was changed to Humberside Airport. The main runway, designated 03/21 was extended to its current length in 1992, allowing operation of much larger aircraft.
