Southampton International Airport
The first flight from Southampton airport can be dated back to 1910. During the First World War the site was used by the U.S. Army and after the war it became a refugee camp, mainly for Russians wishing to sail to America via Southampton. In 1932 Southampton Corporation bought the site and renamed it Southampton Municipal Airport. There was continued growth and expansion during the 1960s and 70s and in 1994, with the opening of a new terminal, it was re-branded under the name BAA Southampton International Airport. Southampton Airport now handles over 1.5 million passengers a year making it the 20th largest Airport in the UK.
