Month: March 2025

The next protest event at Nottingham City Airport will be held on Sunday 16th March at 1100 outside the airfield.

Please come along and join the protest against Vistry and their spiteful plans to shut the airfield.

Today a group of supporters of Nottingham City Airport held a protest at the entrance to the site. The protest was well attended, drawing people from all walks of life, and with a variety of interests in the airfield.

The protest was covered by print and broadcast media and resulted in many favourable comments and posts on our public Facebook page. This is the first of many protests we shall be holding. Keep your eye on our News page for more details as they become available.

One of the undoubted highspots of the afternoon was a visit from an AAC Wildcat helicopter. Have a look at some of the videos of this machine’s arrival and departure on our Facebook page!

Today the property developer Vistry served three months notice on the occupiers of Nottingham City Airport.

While we are horrified at this pre-emptive action (folks, Vistry haven’t even applied for planning permission yet – they can’t, the local plan hasn’t even been approved yet!) we see this as the first shot in a battle that is only a part of the overall war.

We will be organising various functions at a number of locations to express our horror at this spiteful action which seems to be aimed at throwing more than 60 people out of work and closing down businesses, not to mention threatening the airfield as am operational location for the air ambulance.

Vistry have miscalculated the strength of feeling against this development, and have seriously misjudged the support for Nottingham City Airport.
