EGKB is the ICAO code for London Biggin Hill Airport (IATA BQH), located in London, ENG, United Kingdom.
London Biggin Hill Airport (EGKB) sits 14 miles southeast of central London in the Bromley borough, and is the closest dedicated business-aviation airport to the City of London and Canary Wharf. There is no scheduled commercial service. The field has a long aviation history (Battle of Britain RAF station) and today is one of the principal London-area bizjet alternatives to Farnborough, particularly favored by City finance clients for whom east-side London ground access matters.
The single runway (03/21) is 5,932 feet, which handles the full range of business jets up through super-midsize and most heavy operations comfortably; G650 and Global 7500 operators with maximum payloads sometimes plan ferry flights to or from Stansted for heavier uplifts. Two FBOs (Signature and Bombardier Skyjet/Jet Aviation depending on the year) handle the ramp. The strict 24-hour curfew (2200–0700 local) and noise framework are taken seriously by the airport authority. EGKB benefits enormously from helicopter shuttle connections to central London — a 10-minute helicopter ride lands at the London Heliport (EGLW) in Battersea. Field elevation is 598 feet, no density-altitude concerns. Ground time to the City via the M25/A21 is 45–75 minutes; helicopter is 10–15 from ramp to ramp.
London Biggin Hill Airport is an operational general aviation and minor commercial airport serving Biggin Hill in the London Borough of Bromley, located 12 NM south-southeast of Central London. It specialises in general aviation, handling a spectrum of traffic from private aviation to large business jets. It currently has no scheduled airline service, as flights using the airport are not regularly permitted to carry fare-paying passengers.
