History


The new airport was opened by the Cumbernauld Development Corpororation in the late 1980s. Before the new airport was constructed there was a grass strip in use on the same site. During the early years of the airport's new incarnation there was even an airshow, the highlight being a display by the Red Arrows and a mock dogfight between a Supermarine Spitfire and a German Messerschmitt Bf 109 fighter.
