From touchdown to the city — everything you need to know about flying private to London.
London's dedicated private jet airport, roughly 40 minutes from central London — the preferred choice for most business jet arrivals, with minimal congestion and no commercial passenger traffic.
A dedicated general and business aviation airport in South East London, historically popular with private jets for its efficient handling and proximity to the city.
North of the city, Luton combines commercial traffic with a well-established business aviation sector and several charter operators based on-site — a common choice for both light and larger jets.
Home to a dedicated Stansted Executive Jet Centre, offering private terminal facilities separate from the main commercial concourse.
Closest to Canary Wharf and the City financial district — suited to smaller jets and business travelers prioritizing central access, though runway length limits it to smaller aircraft types.
Further from central London, but a genuine option for private aviation with dedicated FBO facilities, sometimes chosen to avoid the busier London-area airports entirely.
London's main international hub, generally used only when specific slot or connection requirements make it necessary for a private arrival — private aviation handling here is more constrained than at the dedicated business airports above.
Which airport is right for you: the choice depends on your aircraft type, where in London you're headed, and slot availability on your dates — our concierge team confirms the best fit for your specific trip rather than defaulting to one airport.
UK visa requirements vary significantly by nationality and purpose of visit. Always verify current UK visa requirements directly with UK Visas and Immigration before departure.
Farnborough and London City both operate with limited slots, particularly during major events (e.g. Wimbledon, the London Season) — book well ahead.
Central London traffic makes chauffeur timing important, especially from Farnborough — factor this into meeting or event scheduling.
Note: Visa and entry requirements shown here are general guidance only and can change. Confirm current requirements for your nationality before booking.
