Portsmouth Airport (Hampshire)

Portsmouth Airport (Hampshire) was a small, regional airport located in Portsmouth, Hampshire, England. It operated primarily between the 1930s and the 1970s. Its limited runway length restricted it to smaller aircraft. The airport's site has since been redeveloped for residential and commercial use. The airport primarily served destinations within the United Kingdom and potentially some short-haul continental European routes. Due to its relatively small size and limited capacity, it did not handle significant volumes of international traffic. Details regarding specific airlines and routes are often found in historical aviation records and local archives. The airport's closure reflects a broader trend of urban development encroaching on smaller regional airfields in the latter half of the 20th century.
