Private Jet Charter at London Biggin Hill Airport (BQH)
Private Jets UK arranges private jet charter flights to and from London Biggin Hill Airport (BQH), the only dedicated business aviation airport inside London itself. Twelve miles from Canary Wharf, in the Borough of Bromley, this former Battle of Britain fighter station now handles nothing but private and business flights, and it does two things no rival can match: it requires no runway slots, and its Heli Shuttle puts you at Battersea heliport six minutes after your wheels stop. Our charter desk adds over 7,300 business jets to that convenience, from a PC-12 for a Le Touquet lunch to a Global for New York. All figures on this page are in pounds, with euro equivalents alongside.
How much is a private jet from Biggin Hill? It depends on the aircraft first, then the route, parking, positioning and extras. London's based fleet keeps positioning charges rare. A light jet to Paris starts near £3,000 one way. Cannes starts around £5,600, and Dubai on an ultra-long-range jet from £50,000. Fill in the calculator below and a firm quote lands in your inbox, usually inside the hour. No obligation. Just check the contact details carefully, the numbers go to the address you type in.

Long-haul charters from Biggin Hill
Long-range jets work this field daily, and the Bombardier service centre on the doorstep means Globals are practically the house type. The honest caveat: at 1,806 m the runway asks the very heaviest types to plan fuel with care against winter headwinds westbound, which your broker factors in before quoting, not after.
Treat these figures as the order of magnitude only. A precise calculation is free, takes little time and reflects the aircraft actually available on your dates, which around London usually means plenty.

Two FBOs at Biggin Hill: Executive Handling and Jetex
Executive traffic here splits between two operators, and the competition shows in the service. Biggin Hill Executive Handling is run by the airport itself, with the Ambassador's and Club lounges looking out over the airfield, showers, meeting rooms and cars driving to the aircraft steps. Jetex answers with its own 1,900 sqm terminal and the polish the brand is known for worldwide. Both clear customs and immigration on site, and The Landing, a boutique hotel on airport property, covers early starts and late arrivals without touching the M25.
Engineering is the quiet superpower of this field. Bombardier moved its European service base here in 2017 and expanded it in 2022 into a facility of nearly 250,000 sq ft, the largest business jet MRO in the UK, with 22 bays that swallow fourteen Global 7500s at once. For charter clients the benefit is practical: aircraft based and maintained on the field, and technical delays fixed on the doorstep rather than flown out for repair.
Which private jets fly to Biggin Hill most often
The charter mix at Biggin Hill runs wider than the London average, from grass-roots turboprops to the Globals that live beside their service centre. Charter data for 2025 puts these at the top:
Pilatus PC-12 NG
Turboprop
The most chartered type at Biggin Hill in 2025, which says a lot about this airport's clientele: Le Touquet lunches, Channel Islands weekends and short hops flown often rather than showily.
Embraer Phenom 300
Light jet
Second on the 2025 list and the workhorse of the London market. Paris in fifty minutes, the Alps nonstop, and dozens based within positioning distance.
Cessna Citation XLS
Midsize
Third most requested: a stand-up cabin, the whole Mediterranean in range and short-field manners that treat 1,806 m as generous.
Bombardier Challenger and Global
Heavy and ultra-long range
The house speciality for a reason: Bombardier's flagship European service centre sits on this field, so owners base and maintain their Challengers and Globals where they fly them.
Availability around London is the best in Europe, but the calendar still bites: Ascot week, Wimbledon and the school holidays strip the market of the popular types first. Early requests get better aircraft at better prices.
Helicopter charter and transfers from Biggin Hill
No other London airport has turned the helicopter into infrastructure quite like this. The Heli Shuttle to Battersea runs as a six-minute fixture, which makes Biggin Hill's real distance to a Mayfair meeting shorter than most taxi ranks manage. The same machines reach Goodwood in a quarter of an hour and the racing calendar in half.
We arrange twin-engine machines such as the Airbus H135, H145 or Leonardo AW109 for city transfers, event days and country weekends. The helicopter meets your jet on the ramp and bags move door to door.
The Heli Shuttle to Battersea is the fixture, bookable with your jet as one itinerary, and general twin-engine charter starts near £2,400 per flight hour with a two-hour minimum on most contracts. On event days (Royal Ascot, the British Grand Prix, Goodwood) machines sell out weeks ahead, so those transfers are best booked with the flight, not after it.
Useful to know before you fly from Biggin Hill
The six-minute city
The London Heli Shuttle links the airport to Battersea heliport in about six minutes, and we book it as part of the same itinerary. By road, allow around 50 minutes to Central London, honestly more in the rush hours, since no motorway runs to the door. The helicopter is not showing off here; it is arithmetic.
No runway slots
Unlike its coordinated neighbours, Biggin Hill requires no runway slots, and the weekday window of 06:30-23:00 is the longest inside the M25. Handling still wants notice, typically a few hours, but the difference in practice is real: your departure time is yours, not a coordinator's.
SkyPets: dogs board first
Biggin Hill runs a dedicated pet service and holds a fair claim to being the UK's most pet-friendly airport. Animals travel in the cabin beside you; notify the airport 24 hours ahead, and for arrivals from abroad GB rules apply: microchip, rabies vaccination, health certificate.
The runway maths
At 1,806 m the runway handles light through large-cabin and long-range jets every day of the week. The heaviest ultra-long-range types plan fuel with care westbound against winter headwinds, and BBJ-class aircraft are quoted case by case. Your broker runs the numbers before promising anything.
And the field wears its history lightly but proudly. This was the most famous fighter station of the Battle of Britain, it turned one hundred in 2017, and the Heritage Hangar at the southern end keeps more than a dozen Spitfires airworthy; on a clear day you may taxi past one holding short. Today more than 70 companies and 1,300 jobs share the 500-acre site, backed by over £60 million of private investment. Serious history, serious operation.
