Farnborough Airport (EGLF/FAB)

Farnborough Airport (EGLF) is the dedicated business-aviation airport for London, sitting 35 miles southwest of central London in Hampshire. There is no scheduled commercial service — EGLF is purely business and corporate aviation, and is generally considered the most important bizjet airport in Europe by movement count and revenue. It is the home of the Farnborough International Airshow (biennial, July) and is operated by TAG Aviation, with a single FBO that handles every movement on the field.

The single runway (06/24) is 8,005 feet, typically long enough for most heavy and super-midsize jets. The operational standout at EGLF is service quality: the FBO is widely considered the best in Europe, with extremely fast turns, on-field CBP/UK Border Force, and a passenger experience that competes with KTEB and exceeds most US hubs. Slot pressure is significant during the airshow week and around major London events (Wimbledon fortnight, Royal Ascot, Glastonbury). Field elevation is 238 feet, no density-altitude concerns. The dominant operational consideration is the strict noise quota that constrains certain older equipment, and the typical UK weather pattern (low ceilings, occasional fog) that can drive holds. Ground time to central London is 60–90 minutes; Windsor and the Thames Valley corporate corridor is 20–30 minutes.

Farnborough Airport is an operational business/executive general aviation airport in Farnborough, Rushmoor, Hampshire, England. The 310-hectare (770-acre) airport covers about 8% of Rushmoor's land area.
