The Airport

The Airport

A Gloucestershire airport steeped in history, Cotswold Airport is now home to a growing Business Aviation and General Aviation (GA) community, and is a host to many successful businesses. Kemble Air Services Ltd is the licensed operator of Cotswold Airport and is committed to making it one of the finest airfields in the country, whilst remaining mindful of the natural charm that abounds on this 532-acre site.

The airport is owned by Ronan Harvey who purchased it from the MOD in 2001 and successfully turned it into a thriving civilian airport. Whilst operated by the MOD the airport was famous for being the home of the RAF Aerobatic Team, the 'Red Arrows'. This history is commemorated with a Red Arrow ‘GNAT’ taking pride of place beside the airport’s restaurant, ‘AV8’. Ronan’s daughter, Suzannah Harvey, is now the C.E.O. and is building on her father’s vision by continuing the airport’s trajectory to become a leading hub for aviation, a base for aviation and non-aviation related businesses, and a bespoke function venue.

AV8 Restaurant

Av8 Restaurant is open Tuesday - Saturday, 9am-5pm. With outstanding views overlooking the runway, it is an excellent place for everyone to sit back, relax and enjoy good food in the presence of aviation.
