Prudhoe Airport was first established in 1934, when the local government of Prudhoe decided to build an airfield near the town. The airport was initially used by the military, but it soon became a popular tourist destination for aviation enthusiasts and those looking for a more adventurous way to travel. The airport also served as a hub for small commercial airlines, which allowed people to easily fly between towns and cities in the region. In the early days, the airport was mainly used for private flights, but eventually it started to offer regular scheduled services to other airports in England and Scotland.
The airport continued to grow throughout the 1950s and 1960s, with new facilities being built and more commercial airlines operating flights from Prudhoe Airport. During this period of growth, more tourists started visiting the area due to its proximity to nearby attractions such as Hadrian’s Wall and Northumberland National Park. As a result of this increased popularity, more hotels were built near the airport and it became an important part of Prudhoe’s economy.
In recent years, Prudhoe Airport has seen further improvements including a new terminal building which opened in 2016. This new terminal building has greatly improved passenger experience at the airport making it easier for passengers to check-in, find their way around the terminal and board their flights on time. The airport now offers regular scheduled services throughout England as well as international flights too. It is also home to several flight schools which provide training courses for aspiring pilots from all over Britain.
