Flying private to London
London is served by 3 airports used by private jets, led by Farnborough Airport (EGLF) — 60 minutes from the centre, customs on site.
Farnborough Airport EGLF
8,005 ft · 60 min · customs · 07:00–22:00 Mon–Fri, 08:00–20:00 Sat–Sun & bank holidays
Europe's flagship business-only airport, with a single-operator FBO, its own CIQ and the fastest turnarounds in the London area. Best for the West End, Surrey and the M3/M4 corridors; annual movement cap and weekend limits mean slots can be tight during the Farnborough Airshow and peak summer weekends. Premium pricing but very high service standards.
London Biggin Hill Airport EGKB
5,925 ft · 40 min · customs · 06:30–23:00 Mon–Fri, 08:00–22:00 Sat–Sun & bank holidays
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.
London City Airport EGLC
4,948 ft · 25 min · customs · 06:30–22:30 Mon–Fri, 06:30–13:00 Sat, 12:30–22:30 Sun
Only minutes from Canary Wharf and the City; the Jet Centre offers a private terminal with direct ramp access. Aircraft must be steep-approach certified and crews trained; Saturday-afternoon closure and coordinated slots limit flexibility. Ideal for short-haul European hops when time matters most.
