Flying private from FAB.
Farnborough (EGLF) is one of the main private aviation airports serving London.
Farnborough is a business aviation airport: there are no holiday or airline flights, so the terminal, ramp and runway are built around private jets.
Every arrival needs prior permission, which the operator arranges when the trip is booked. The weekend day is shorter, so late Saturday and Sunday returns should be planned early.
Other options in London include London Biggin Hill (BQH), London Luton (LTN), London Stansted (STN), London City (LCY). Flights are operated by CAA-certified operators.
