London Heathrow Airport is one of the largest in the world and the largest airport in Europe, serving over 85 million passengers annually. Due to the enormous traffic congestion, arrival and departure slots are very difficult to obtain, and private jet fees are very high. Therefore, most business flights use alternative airports, of which there are quite a few in and around London.

London offers many airports.

It is not widely known that, in addition to the well-known airports of London Luton and London Stansted, private jet customers can also choose from two airports dedicated exclusively to private aviation: Farnborough and Biggin Hill.

For passengers traveling to west London, Mayfair, or Chelsea, Farnborough is the best choice. Located approximately 60 minutes from the city center, it offers fast service and a high-standard VIP terminal. Biggin Hill, on the other hand, is located southeast of London. Customers traveling to the southern part of the city most often choose this airport. Alternatively, there's the Northolt military airport, very close to the city center. However, due to numerous restrictions on civilian operations, it's popular mainly with government delegations. London City Airport is also located in central London – about a 20-minute drive from the city center. However, not every private jet can fly to this airport – due to the short runway and steep approach, both the aircraft and the crew must have additional approvals. Such a jet must descend at a steeper angle, decelerate quickly enough, and land safely on a short runway. Therefore, landing at London City depends on three elements simultaneously: certification of the specific jet model, appropriate configuration (if required for the type), and a trained and qualified crew. Due to the growing popularity of this airport, many modern private aircrafts produced in recent years are certified for flights to and from London City.

When choosing an airport in London, location isn't the only factor - the city is bustling with activity almost year-round, so when planning a flight, it's worth considering concerts, sporting events like Wimbledon, and other events that significantly impact the availability of slots and parking spaces for private jets.
