RAF Benson

RAF Benson (EGUB) is a medium airport in Wallingford, Oxfordshire, United Kingdom. Pilots and dispatchers reference it by ICAO code EGUB or IATA code BEX. It sits in Europe.

RAF Benson is a regional airport primarily serving general aviation, charter, and corporate flight departments.

RAF Benson sits near sea level at 226 ft.

Local operations run on Europe/London. Without scheduled airline traffic, the field tends to be quieter and more flexible for charter and corporate operations — a useful characteristic for early morning, late night, or short-notice flights that would be impractical at a hub.
