- Airport hours, customs, slots and restrictions must be confirmed with the airport. Runway length alone does not establish operational suitability.

Closest dedicated business airport to the City and Canary Wharf, with a 6-minute helicopter shuttle to London Heliport (Battersea). Longer opening hours than Farnborough and a large MRO/hangar campus (Bombardier service centre). Runway length limits heavy departures on hot days; hilly local terrain drives noise-abatement procedures.
