Biggin Hill welcomes the jets, but the one thing they no longer want to be involved in is the training of pilots. I got my PPL there, but if training at Biggin Hill hadn't been available, my PPL would never have happened - the alternative airfields were too far away from where I lived. OK, I would have been no great loss to aviation, but someone has to pilot those jets, and if training is difficult to obtain, then people are less likely to become jet pilots.
Biggin Hill offers a poor service- there is no way to get to London apart from via helicopter or a 1.5 hour drive. They have an abysmal relationship with neighbours and provide relatively no jobs in comparison to the tens of thousands of homes polluted and disturbed by flights.
I go there every year for biggin hill airshow
take notes Santa Monica, this is how you work with your local airport.
Santa Monica's owners have no desire to keep the airport open, and are doing everything they can to close it.
I love this airport! Got to visit it with a friend who works there last May! Awesome!
I was at the lookout cafe there like 10 minutes ago
I'd love to work there!! I'll have my A&P Certificate by March 2019. Keep up the great work. 👍👍
Did my flight training there and work experience- fantastic airport run by some fantastic people. Andy patsalides has put on a bit of weight tho 😂😂

Very nice...Thank you...
The closest airport to london is city airport its 15 minutes on the dlr to bank
London City is closer and available for everyone to use.
Only steep approach capable aircraft are able to land at London city, and also very limited parking for GA aircraft. Biggin Hill is a better option.
At biggin hill airport scheduled commercial flights are going to go to biggin hill airport
Its Britain’s newest airline
It is not the closest airport London City is
