RAF Northolt accepts a limited number of civilian business aviation movements per day, with strict 24-hour prior permission. The single 1,687m runway and military operating environment make it the most secure and discreet of the London-area private airfields.

There is no public-facing FBO — instead, civilian arrivals are handled through dedicated ground operators on a slot-by-slot basis. We coordinate directly with the ground handler for each booking and have driven Northolt arrivals since 2010.

Given its position just inside the M25 and immediately north of Heathrow, Northolt offers genuinely quick access to Mayfair, Kensington and the West End — typically faster than Heathrow itself for the same destinations.

Drive times

Mayfair 35–55 min · City 45–65 min · Heathrow 20 min
