Gloucestershire Airport has been sold in a major deal worth over £25 million. The sale includes both the operational business and the land it occupies. The transaction marks a significant milestone for the airport, which plays a key role in regional transport and business aviation.
The buyer, a private company with experience in aviation and infrastructure, plans to invest in the airport’s future, ensuring its long-term viability and growth. While ownership has changed, airport operations will continue uninterrupted, with existing staff retained and services running as normal.
The sale follows years of discussion about the airport’s potential and how best to unlock new opportunities. Previous investments in runway resurfacing and taxiway improvements had already laid the groundwork for modernization. The new ownership is expected to build on that foundation with further enhancements to facilities, operations, and commercial offerings.
The airport serves a wide range of users, including private and business aviation, flying schools, and emergency services. The new owners are reportedly committed to maintaining these services while exploring additional uses and development opportunities.
This change is being described as a positive step toward securing the airport’s financial future, unlocking investment, and supporting regional economic growth. The deal represents not only a change in ownership but the beginning of a new chapter for one of the area’s most important transport hubs.
