Biggin Hill is a preferred airport for many executive and leisure jet passengers, registering nearly 50,000 aircraft movements annually. The airport formerly served as RAF Biggin Hill, and played an important role during World War II — the Royal Air Force still operates out of a small enclave at the airport, and retains its designation.
The airport also played an important role in the album art for Pink Floyd’s 1969 album “Ummagumma“, where it’s runway is the setting for the back cover photo.
(EGKB, BQH) Biggin Hill offers two runways for your charter flight, aligned roughly north-south and east-west, intersecting in an L shaped configuration.

The longer north-south oriented runway (03/21) measures 5,971 feet in length and is equipped with an Instrument Landing System, accommodating larger aircraft, up to the size of a Boeing 737/Airbus A320 — despite the ban on commercial service, many of these large business jets still frequent the airport via business aviation and corporate shuttle flights.
Turboprops and piston aircraft are suitable for Runway 11/29, which measures 2,585 feet long. ATC services are provided by Thames Radar at the London Terminal Control Centre, while procedural approach and VFR ATC services are provided by the airport itself. The airport’s passenger terminal is located on the A233 road, which is where international passengers will find customs & immigration.
Helicopters are available for charter on-site, and exclusive flights to NetJets London Heliport via twin-engine turbo helicopters take only 6 minutes. Rail connections are also available, and typically take around 15 minutes to arrive at the city center. By road, it’s between 45-60 minutes.
There are two FBO’s available — BHA Executive Handling and Signature Flight Support — where business and leisure jet passengers can enjoy discrete, efficient arrivals and a variety of luxury services; there were three private terminals to choose from, but Rizon Jet abandoned its luxury FBO hanger at Biggin Hill in 2016.
