Humberside Airport (HUY)
Humberside Airport (HUY) is a small regional airport at Kirmington in Lincolnshire, serving the Humber region and handling approximately 300,000 passengers per year. Located 14 miles south-west of Hull city centre, it provides essential air connectivity for a part of England not well served by other airports.
The airport has a particularly strong identity as a gateway for North Sea oil and gas industry workers. Routes to Aberdeen and Bergen are mainstays of the schedule, operated by Eastern Airways with crew-change passengers accounting for a significant share of traffic. Eastern Airways also connects the region to Edinburgh and Amsterdam Schiphol.
Loganair provides additional Scottish connectivity. The airport is compact, with a single terminal and minimal queuing — a genuine advantage for business and offshore travellers who value speed over facilities.
