==Airport==
The village is home to [[Llanbedr Airport]], a general aviation aerodrome. Until 2004 the site was operated as a military airfield by the [[Defence Evaluation and Research Agency]] (DERA) and [[QinetiQ]] as a launch site for remotely-piloted [[target drone|drones]] for use as aerial targets by the [[RAF]] and other UK forces.<ref>Mills, Wendy (2002) ''Target Rolling: A History of Llanbedr Airfield 1941-2002'', Hinckley, Leics: Midland Publishing {{ISBN|1-85780-136-9}}</ref> The airfield was included in the Snowdonia Enterprise Zone by the Welsh Government in January 2013.

In 2018 the airport became home to a flying school offering pleasure flights and flying lessons.

After the UK passed 2021 enabling legislation, in 2022, the Welsh Government announced plans to develop [[space launch]] capability at the site, to be named [[Spaceport]] Snowdonia.<ref>https://www.thenational.wales/news/19808881.spaceport-snowdonia-spaceport-cornwall-plans-alive/ [https://www.southwalesargus.co.uk/news/19939220.wales-plans-major-expansion-space-exploration/]</ref>
