'''Humberside Airport''' {{Airport codes|HUY|EGNJ}} is situated in
North Lincolnshire,
England, 10 miles west of

Kingston Upon Hull,
England on the
A18 road A18. It is a small international
airport, owned by the
Manchester Airport Group who also own

History
The airport was previously a
Royal Air Force base,
RAF Kirmington, opened in
1941 during
World War II. The site was abandonded after the war in 1945, and lay unused until 1974 when the local council re-opened the site as Kirmington Airport. When the local area was renamed Humberside following local government re-organisation in England, the name was changed to Humberside Airport.
The airport faces strong competition for flights from nearby
Nottingham East Midlands Airport and the newly opened
Robin Hood Airport Doncaster Sheffield. Although it has the possibility of introducing more services across Europe in the future.
