Farnborough Airport
Farnborough Airport is located approximately 35 miles from central London, roughly the same distance as London Luton Airport. Unlike Luton, Farnborough is exclusively for private jet travel and is one of the most efficient private jet airports. Farnborough Airport has a very contemporary design, complete with luxurious lounges and complimentary refreshments.
It is famed for its personalised service and is also the fastest growing private jet airport in the UK. All these factors contributed to Farnborough being voted 2021’s best European FBO by Professional Pilot Magazine.
Location: Farnborough, Hampshire
London Luton Airport
You may know London Luton Airport as the fifth largest airport in the UK but it is one of the most popular and very best private jet airports too. It has 3 FBOs, one of which, Signature’s Luton FBO, has been voted as the best FBO in Europe by Professional Pilot magazine multiple times.
Location: Luton, Bedfordshire
London Biggin Hill
Biggin Hill is a former RAF base that has now become an airport that caters exclusively to private flights, with 2 FBOs, ground transfer options and helicopter links that can transport passengers to the London Heliport in 6 minutes.

London RAF Northolt Airport
Although a military airport which was a key London defence station during World War II, Northolt handles a number of private civilian flights per day. Located just West of London in Ruislip, it provides easy access to the city which is a 30 minute drive away. Its high security and efficient service means it is favoured by many HNWIs and government officials.
