Coventry Airport – CVT

The Coventry Airport is located and serves the city of Coventry, England. In the early 1930s, it was known as Baginton Aerodome, wherein it served only general aviation and freight services and as well as an airfield during the World War II. On May 30, 1982 then Pope John Paul II visited and held a Eucharistic mass at the CVT – Coventry Airport. Problems arose during the years of 2007 to 2009, especially with expansion plans, thus leading to its closing. However, a year later, it was officially opened as a commercial service airport again.
