The UK's aviation regulator has suspended Swansea Airport's licence.
Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) inspectors suspended its refuelling licence before calling a provisional halt on the operating licence.
The CAA told the Local Democracy Reporting Service the suspension was due to a "systemic failure of safety management".
Swansea Airport Ltd has until 28 February to submit a "corrective action plan".
It comes less than a month after Swansea Council, which owns the facility, agreed to start negotiating a new lease with the current operator, Swansea Airport Ltd.
Campaigners had urged the authority to consider other options.
