- 6296649 abstract "Bristol Filton Airport or Filton Aerodrome (IATA: FZO, ICAO: EGTG) was a private airport on the border between Filton and Patchway, within South Gloucestershire, 4 NM (7.4 km; 4.6 mi) north of Bristol, England. The airfield is bordered by the A38 road at the start of the runway, and the former London to Avonmouth railway line to the left. It was also bordered by what some know as the 'Old Filton Bypass' to the right of the runways (a new major road dissects this former boundary, which now links across former airfield land, enabling a Filton and Patchway link to Cribbs Causeway), and an expansive housing development known as Charlton Hayes within the section of the airfield that is in the Town of Patchway. The airfield had a United Kingdom Civil Aviation Authority Ordinary Licence (number P741) allowing flights for the public transport of passengers or for flying instruction as authorised by the licensee. Several private jets had the airfield as their home. Filton's runway is wider than most, at 91 m (300 ft), and is a considerable length at 2,467 m (8,094 ft) long, having been extended for the maiden flight of the then record-breaking Bristol Brabazon airliner in 1949. Its size was also important in the late 1960s and early 1970s for development and manufacture of the supersonic Concorde. Filton had a succession of owners. Following a review of its commercial viability, the last owners, BAE Systems Aviation Services Limited, decided to close the airfield for business effective 31 December 2012. BAE left the site and initiated major redevelopments, selling parts of the industrial buildings and land to Airbus, who have expanded their presence there. As of 2016, Airbus is the main company left on the site. Airbus have built major new offices, plus they redeveloped one of the original 'Aircraft Works' buildings, Pegasus House, as well as restoring the historic Filton House. Planning permission has also been granted for Airbus to build a new Engine Development Centre as well as a new Wing Building and Wing Development Centre. The regional West of England Royal Mail letter sorting depot was built on part of the airfield site before it closed. As of 2016 the only flights originating at Filton are from an area given to National Police Air Service for its helicopter, as well as an Air Ambulance helicopter operated by the Great Western Air Ambulance Charity on behalf of the South Western Ambulance Service." external.
