<p>
Swansea Airport stands on a site with deep aviation roots. Before operating as Swansea
Airport, the airfield was known as RAF Fairwood Common.
</p>
<p>
During the wartime period, Fairwood Common played an operational role as part of the wider
air defence and training network. Its location on the Gower Peninsula gave it a strategic
position, and over time the airfield developed infrastructure that shaped its later civil use.
</p>
<p>
In the post-war years, the site evolved from military use into a civilian aerodrome. That
transition reflected the broader story of many UK airfields, where former RAF stations became
local centres for flight training, private aviation, and community flying activity.
</p>
<p>
Today, Swansea Airport continues that legacy. While the role of the airfield has changed, its
connection to aviation history remains central to its identity, linking RAF Fairwood Common's
past with present-day operations serving Swansea and the surrounding region.
