after Cotswold District Council allowed flying to continue, but in September 2008, North Wiltshire District Council sought to overturn this decision in the High Court as they said the original decision was flawed. In August 2009, the airport was awarded a CLEUD (Certificate of Lawful Use) as a commercial airport, so its future was assured as an airport and development to that end could occur. Resource Group (formerly Lufthansa Resource Technical Training) relocated their EASA Part 147 Approved Basic Training facility to Cotswold Airport with a purpose-built facility opened in Spring 2010. This had the effect of bringing numerous jobs to the local area as well as supporting local infrastructure, such as shops and hotels. There are around 50 engineering students stationed there year-round. The site was renamed Cotswold Airport in 2009, having previously operated as Kemble Airport or Kemble Airfield. The airport has a CAA Ordinary Licence (Number P863), which allows flights for the public transport of passengers or for flying instruction as authorised by the licensee (Kemble Air Services Limited). The airfield has a tarmacadam runway which accommodates large aircraft such as the Boeing 747. Aston Down airfield lies to the north-west and has sometimes been mistaken for Cotswold Airport by visiting pilots. It formerly belonged to the RAF but is now used for gliding by the Cotswold Gliding Club. Other uses The airport is home to Chevron Aircraft Maintenance, an EASA part 145 approved aircraft maintenance facility which has been based at the airport since January 2004, carrying out maintenance, storage and dismantling of aircraft. It is also the operating base of Air Salvage International, who describe themselves as Europe's leading aircraft decommissioning company. Air Salvage moved from Alton, Hampshire in late 2009 to Cotswold Airport, setting up base in Hangar J1. During 2010, the company took over of hangar space formerly used by Aeronautic and Delta Jets, and has grown substantially thereafter. In 2017, the airport was described as "Europe's leading airliner recycling location." Between 1996 and 2012, hangars at the airport housed the exhibits of the Bristol Aero Collection. The airport has also been used for Formula One straight line testing, and has one of the largest race tracks for radio-controlled cars in the UK. When the airport was used by the RAF it boasted two hard-surface runways (13/31 and 08/26). However, the north-south runway has been closed off, and is used as a taxiway
