From Heathrow to long-closed airfields, aviation sites across the UK and Ireland are classified on this airports map as large, medium or small airports, heliports, seaplane bases, balloonports and closed facilities. NUTS regions are shaded by airfield count, and a six-chapter storybook visits tidal beach runways, vanished airfields and London's many airports. Aviation enthusiasts, regional planners and transport researchers will find plenty to explore.
