Questions

Which airports do private jets use for London?

Farnborough Airport (FAB), London Biggin Hill (BQH), London Luton (LTN), London Stansted (STN) and London City (LCY). FAB and BQH are mainly business aviation.

Where do you check in for a private flight at FAB?

At a private terminal, called an FBO, not the airline terminal. At FAB: Farnborough Airport FBO/terminal. Your broker or operator tells you which one.

Do I need to clear customs at a private terminal?

On international flights, yes. Many private terminals handle it on site, but hours vary by airport and some need notice in advance. Your operator arranges it; check the hours if you land late.

Aircraft suitability is our reading of runway length and airport rules, not an operator's limit: your operator decides what can land. Hours and handlers change, so confirm before you travel. All cities.
