 The majority of aircraft operating from the airport are light aircraft, such as the single engine Cessna 182 and twin engine Piper PA-34 Seneca.The small-airfield image the airport has retained was under threat until late 2006 as previous owner CityHopper Ltd had ambitious plans to expand the airport for airline usage, initially by up to 500,000 passengers a year which would necessitate construction of a new longer runway; plus intended open-air facilities to test jet engines for Boeing 737s.The Wolverhampton Airport Action Group is a local group which was set up in late 2002 to fight against the expansion.
