The South Coast's regional airport.
Southampton Airport at Eastleigh is the South Coast's regional airport, handling around 885,000 passengers a year from a compact, single-terminal operation. Passenger numbers have been recovering steadily since the loss of Flybe but remain below the pre-pandemic peak. It punches above its weight for UK regional connectivity, with year-round links to Scotland, Northern Ireland and the Channel Islands.
Carriers are led by easyJet, Loganair, Aurigny and Eastern Airways. The route map is heavy on UK domestic, Channel Islands and short-haul European leisure, with KLM operating the long-running Amsterdam connection for onward long-haul.
The airport's compact site, walkable layout and direct rail link make it one of the easiest UK airports to navigate, door-to-gate times are short and security is generally fast.
