Nutts
Corner airport
The
airport at Nutts Corner in Co Antrim began to operate around 1920. It became a
RAF military airport during WW2 before becoming a civilian airport again after the
way and up until 1963 when civilian flights moved to the new Aldergrove
airport.
A
section of the A26 Moira Road, running from Nutts Corner Roundabout for
approximately 2 km, is constructed on one of the old runways and the old
airport is now used for karting and as a market.
