Gloucestershire Airport (IATA: GLO, ICAO: EGBJ), formerly Staverton Airport, is located at Staverton, in the Borough of Tewkesbury within Gloucestershire, England. It lies 3.5 nautical miles (4.0 miles) west of Cheltenham, near the city of Gloucester and close to the M5 motorway.
The airport is regularly used for private charter flights to destinations such as Jersey and Guernsey. Between 2013 and 2017, Citywing operated scheduled flights from the airport, describing it as “Gloucester (M5) Airport” and marketing it as an alternative to Birmingham Airport, Bristol Airport and to a lesser extent Oxford Airport. This is due the airport’s ease of use and fast handling of passengers, compared to its larger counterparts.
