Castle Kennedy Airfield - Stranraer, Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland, UK

General News

As part of the process of improvement at Castle Kennedy, we are investigating the provision of fuel at the airfield.

The airfield will continue to be improved, and all landing fees are re invested into tar and equipment!

We are looking for the next improvements to be made to the airfield. If you have useful suggestions please contact through the Contact page.

In particular it would be interesting to know the potential fuel uplift, and of which type.

Castle Kennedy Airfield is ideally positioned for access to the new Stranraer Marina.
