Name of the airport

The airport's name seems to be Lydd Airport, whereas London Ashford Airport is the name of the operator:

On the official website, it is called Lydd Airport several times: [1] and [2] talk about "Expansion at Lydd Airport"; [3] says: "Lydd Airport today is operated by London Ashford Airport Ltd." Where London Ashford Airport is used, it is ambiguous whether that refers to the airport or the operator.
The licence says "Name of aerodrome: LYDD".
Google has 31,300 web pages for "Lydd Airport" and only 13,200 for "London Ashford Airport".

Therefore, I'm moving the article to Lydd Airport. - 3247 (talk) 02:17, 29 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

At some time in the 70s the term "Ashford Airport" was used to refer to Lympne Airport - since closed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.29.18.231 (talk) 18:22, 25 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Lydd airport is only 66.3 km away from Le Touquet airport in france - considerably less than its distance from London. 81.107.147.216 (talk) 01:37, 13 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
