Report on the Goodwood Aerodrome Consultative Committee

4 Sep 2026 |

Report on the Goodwood Aerodrome Consultative Committee held on 30th July 2026

Aircraft movements were lower between January and May 2026, with around 12,600 movements – a 21% fall year on year and well within all Section 52 limits. There were
no heavier-aircraft movements or helicopter movements after sunset.

Between March and May this year, 15 of the 19 aircraft complaints came from Summersdale. None of the complaints concerned the Harvard or Spitfire flights.

The committee explored whether runway 28 could be used in preference to runway 24 to reduce disturbance to Summersdale. However, it was explained that this was
not desirable because runway 28 is significantly shorter than runway 24 and its surface is unsuitable for some aircraft.

Goodwood reported that it takes aircraft safety very seriously, with regular pilot safety briefings, education and CAA audits. The Air Portal system was also said to
be working well in controlling drone flying.

Goodwood Digital Ticketing Explained

A Simpler, Smarter Way to Experience Goodwood

Goodwood is moving to fully digital tickets for all events.

After booking, visitors will receive an email asking them to download the Goodwood Tickets app, where their tickets will be stored securely on their phone.

Digital tickets can be shared easily by email, text or WhatsApp, so each guest can have their own ticket. Once downloaded, tickets can still be accessed without WiFi or mobile signal.

The new system should make entry quicker, reduce the risk of lost tickets, and cut down on printed paper and packaging. Support will be available for anyone who needs help using the app.
