EGHI - Southampton International Airport

Harexperience's EGHI Southampton Airport is a highly detailed scenery of Southampton Airport in Hampshire, United Kingdom.

Located just north of the city of Southampton, Southampton Airport (IATA: SOU, ICAO: EGHI) serves as an important regional gateway to southern England. The airport is situated close to the towns of Eastleigh and Winchester and provides convenient access to the South Coast, the Isle of Wight, and the wider Hampshire region. Originally opened as RAF Eastleigh in 1917 during the First World War, the airfield later transitioned into a civil airport and gradually developed into a key regional hub. Over the decades, Southampton Airport has evolved into a busy domestic and short-haul European airport, serving both business and leisure travelers. Its single runway (02/20) and compact terminal layout create a unique operational environment that is well suited for regional aircraft operations in flight simulation.
