Leicester Airport

Great place for a nice drink ans snacks. Lots of choice and has a relaxed and friendly atmosphere.
Great instructors for flight lessons, discovery lessons and for plane enthusiasts.
Great family day out.

As a member of the airfield I can say it is like a whole new world out there, the staff are very nice and always talk and there are always lots of amazing obscure aircraft out there.

Flown in a number of times. The facilities were well maintained, ground crew and instructors were friendly.

If you are flying in solo in an aircraft that is hard to manually push back I found that the parking could be a bit challenging. However, the ground crew were more than happy to help, just ask information for a hand pushing back, I found they were more than happy to help. Landing fee is £15 which is very reasonable. Overall, very much worth a visit via land or air.

The Leicestershire Aero Clun operate this General Aviation aerodrome and were established over 90 years ago. They operate a fleet of club aircraft for training and hire by members. Many club members own their own aircraft which are based here. The clubhouse has been converted from the WW" control tower and has a pleasant lounge with meals at lunchtime from Tuesday to Sunday. The menu is very good and, in particular, the soup is homemade and absolutely delicious as is the coffee. Being a members club visitors need to be sponsored by a club member, but this is not a problem usually. At the weekend the airfield is a great place to watch light aircraft taking off and landing plus there is ample space and tables outside on the grass for picnics.

Took an aerobatic flight here! Lovely aircraft and a great club house with food and drinks

We had a great experience on a 20 minute flight , a real experience we would like to try again at some point

Fantastic airport. We arrived in Flexwing aircraft and the full team at Leicester Airport were superb. The fuel guys were very professional as were the office staff, really friendly throughout. Great Cafe too. Thanks for the welcome and service.

First flight experience with instructor Laurence. My son and his two passengers had a great time and Laurence was excellent. Would definitely recommend

I think what you do is Amazing. I live in oadby and have never even once heard any aircraft noise. Thank you for running such a great place and giving those who love the air an avenue to do what they love

Great local airfield. Electric flight is soon to be with us in the coming years. Those that complain about noise will soon be satisfied when the noise subsides to a gentle hum of electric aircraft. We need local infrastructure such as Leicester Aerodrome, especially in the future with all the delivery and flight technology that is already in testing. Electric aircraft will be safer and less annoying to the local community. Get behind your local aerodrome you never know your Amazon parcel may be delivered from here ? Plus the training craft will be electric.

It's definitely go to place for everyone had a wonderful time there,you can sit and enjoy beverages and viewings aircrafts in the gallery, walk in to reception friendly staff with big smile gift my boy a pen and pilot badge and Jamie give us a tour to hanger to see aircrafts from closely and let my young one to sit inside the plane to take lovely memories thank you leicester aero club

People are unbelievable, this airfield has been active since 1942. It's a lovely friendly place providing jobs and leisure. They choose to buy a house near the airfield knowing it is there and suddenly it's a nuisance for them? Be careful what you wish for. Our local airfield had the same community of 'I know my rights' moaners - right up until they saw the development plans for a stadium and concert venue with high density housing. Suddenly, that nice green space where they walk their dog and take their children to the cafe to watch the aeroplanes was a wonderful local amenity and all that tough meadow grass was a benefit to the natural environment.

Great experience loved every moment great staff great flight

This is one of the best airfields in the country...well priced landing fees...smooth runways and taxi ways...good parking....friendly staff...Great smart tidy cafe well priced menue....I got a loyalty card and get a free landing after 6 visits well worth it......well done Leicester

Goodness! Did someone complain they couldn't book a flight out?!?! Apparently they offer flight lessons too. I've never been inside but I take my son to catch an occasional plane taking off - it can be quite infrequent but exciting for us all.

My only negative would be that the planes aren't loud enough, maybe they could fly lower as well, especially over Evington and Oadby 🙂

Leicester Airport in a fantastic place all the staff including the cleaner are brilliant i have been coming here for the last couple of months with my little boy and he loves it it's so Welcomeing 2 everyone we spe d about an hour every Saturday morning here eating our hash browns with cheese lol we love it and the Christmas party you also do here is fantastic and would recommend it to anybody the entertainment you give the kids is brilliant and the experience of Santa coming by airplane thanks 2 everyone

I highly recommend the flying experience. Great staff and experienced pilots

Wow! Great airport to go to. I suggest taking one of the Cessena 172 Float planes and this plane will be my very own. I will use this to rescue most people and sometimes transport passengers and do deliveries.

Friendly airfield with three tarmac strips and two grass. Nice cafe as well.
