Newtownards serves as a general aviation airfield for Belfast, with friendly and helpful staff. Out-of-hours permits are available, allowing flexible departures and arrivals outside standard times. No instrument approaches are available; let-downs are typically over the lough to the north if conditions permit, and runway 26 does not permit take-offs. Three runways are present. Customs clearance into the UK is possible, but a GAR form must be submitted at least 12 hours in advance to the police, and additional landing/departure forms per passenger are required on arrival.
Avgas is available. The town of Newtownards is easily walkable from the airfield, and a hire car from Sixt is about a 0.5 mile walk away. Belfast city centre is about 20 minutes by taxi, with fares around ยฃ20.
Example: landing fee about ยฃ30. Example: overnight parking about ยฃ30.
The airfield is home to the Ulster Flying Club and is relatively active and busy. The Titanic Museum in Belfast is recommended for visitors.
