Airports for private jets in London
Private jets use several airports around London. The right one depends on your final address, the size of the aircraft, the time of the flight and slot availability. Slots at Heathrow are very hard to obtain, so it is rarely the first choice for private flights.
FAB · EGLF
Farnborough
About 60 km southwest of London, a business-aviation-only airport with no scheduled flights. Often chosen for southwest London, Surrey and Hampshire, and for large-cabin jets. It is closed at night and has an annual cap on movements.
BQH · EGKB
London Biggin Hill
About 20–25 km southeast of London, an airport dedicated to business aviation. Convenient for southeast London and Kent; a helicopter transfer into the city can also be arranged.
LTN · EGGW
London Luton
About 55 km north of London, a major airport with private jet terminals (FBOs). Convenient for north and northwest London. Strict night-flight restrictions apply in the summer months.
LCY · EGLC
London City
About 15 km east of central London, the closest airport to the City and Canary Wharf. Because of its steep approach and short runway, only approved aircraft types flown by specially trained crews can land, so it is mostly used for day business trips on light and midsize jets. Weekend operating hours are limited.
NHT · EGWU
RAF Northolt
About 19 km west of London, the closest option to Mayfair and west London. It is a joint military and civil airfield and requires prior permission (PPR).
Airport and terminal use depends on the operator, the date and slot availability, and is confirmed with every quote.
