About the airport
RAF Lyneham, with the IATA code LYE and the ICAO code EGDL, is a former Royal Air Force base located in Wiltshire, United Kingdom. Although it primarily served as a military airfield, it also accommodated civilian flights. However, as of 2012, it ceased its civilian operations.
Situated approximately 10 miles northwest of Swindon, RAF Lyneham offered convenient access to the picturesque countryside of Wiltshire. The airport boasted a single runway and various facilities, including a passenger terminal, parking areas, and a range of amenities.
While RAF Lyneham is no longer operational for civilian flights, it remains an important historical site and is occasionally used for military purposes. Travelers planning their trips to the United Kingdom should be aware that the airport is no longer available for commercial use and should consider alternative airports in the region, such as Bristol Airport or London Heathrow Airport, for their travel needs.
