Although it was the venue for a mass presided over by Pope John Paul II in 1982, Coventry Airport (CVT) has had a troubled recent history. In 2007, a contentious plan to build permanent passenger terminal facilities was rejected by the High Court , which was followed by financial problems leading to the airport being closed down in 2009.
However, there are signs of recovery at Coventry Airport, with the Midlands hub being re-opened in 2010 as a commercial airport. Please note that the information contained in this guide is subject to change.
