Cambridge City Airport , previously Marshall Airport Cambridge UK, is a regional airport in Cambridgeshire, England. It is located on the eastern outskirts of Cambridge, south of Newmarket Road and west of the village of Teversham, from the centre of Cambridge and approximately from London. Marshall of Cambridge Aerospace Limited has a CAA Public Use Aerodrome Licence (Number P433) that allows flights for the public transport of passengers or for flying instruction. The airport is available for corporate and private use, and is home to four flying schools. Since 2016 there have been no public scheduled flights from the airport. History Early years Opened in 1938, when it replaced the old airfield at Fen Ditton, the airport is owned and operated by Marshall Aerospace, a Cambridge-based company with many years' history servicing civilian and military contracts. The main building, which is a Grade II listed building, was designed by the architect Harold Tomlinson of the University of Cambridge and constructed in 1936–37. For many years it was the base for the Cambridge University Air Squadron. During the Second World War the site was used by the Royal Air Force as RAF Cambridge. The following units were here at some point: No. 2 Civilian Anti-Aircraft Co-operation Unit RAF (July 1951 - March 1953) No. 2 Squadron RAF No. 4 (Supplementary) Flying Instructors School RAF (July 1940 - January 1942) became No. 4 Flying Instructors School RAF (January - April 1942) became No. 4 Flying Instructors School (Elementary) RAF (April 1942 - April 1943) No. 5 Air Experience Flight RAF (July 1958 - September 1966 & September 1967 - ?) No. 16 Squadron RAF No. 22 Elementary and Reserve Flying Training School RAF (February 1938 - September 1939) became No. 22 Elementary Flying Training School RAF (September 1939 - May 1947) became No. 22 Reserve Flying School RAF (May 1947 - June 1954) No. 26 Squadron RAF No. 54 Maintenance Unit RAF (October 1940 - March 1945) No. 105 Gliding School RAF (May 1945 - September 1955) No. 239 Squadron RAF No. 268 Squadron RAF Detachment of Roc Flight RAF (October - November 1940) Development since the 2000s In 2000, a proposal was created to relocate the airport to a new site away from the city, which would have freed up of land for the building of several thousand new homes. A study for a new airport was undertaken by Cambridgeshire County
