gatwick

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'got off to flying start in 1930' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot judge whether it can be defined by this definition.

'opening of games at scottish town' is the wordplay.
'opening of' suggests taking the first letters.
'scottish town' becomes 'wick' (I've seen this before).
The initial letter of 'games' is 'g'.
'g'+'at'+'wick'='GATWICK'

'that' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for gatwick that I've seen before include "English airport" , "A London 10" , "Airport abbreviated as LGW" , "Site of terminals" , "Airport south of London" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
