A Different Kind of Transfer for a Different Kind of Terminal
Flying private removes most of the friction of commercial travel — but the ground transport on either end still has to match it. A generic airport taxi that doesn't know Biggin Hill has three separate FBOs, or that Farnborough's apron access requires the driver to be pre-cleared, turns a seamless flight into a delay at the gate. This page covers the practical, terminal-specific detail our general private jet chauffeur service doesn't go into — which terminal is which, how the handover actually works, and what to expect at each.
Biggin Hill, Farnborough & Luton at a Glance
| Terminal | Location | Typical drive to Mayfair |
|---|---|---|
| London Biggin Hill Airport | Kent, ~13 miles SE of central London | 45–60 minutes |
| TAG Farnborough Airport | Hampshire, ~35 miles SW of central London | 55–75 minutes |
| Luton Executive Aviation (Signature/Harrods Aviation) | Bedfordshire, ~35 miles N of central London | 60–80 minutes |
Drive times are typical off-peak estimates to central London; your fixed quote accounts for your actual pickup or drop-off point.
Biggin Hill — London's Dedicated Business Aviation Airport
Biggin Hill is a private-aviation-only airport with three separate FBOs on site (Signature, Rizon, and ExecuJet at time of writing), each with its own gate and handling procedure. We confirm which FBO you're using when you book, so your chauffeur arrives at the right entrance rather than the airport's general perimeter — a genuinely common mix-up for drivers who haven't done the route before.
Farnborough — Europe's Business Aviation Hub
TAG Farnborough handles some of the largest and most frequent business jet traffic in Europe, with a single terminal building but tighter security and apron-access procedures than Biggin Hill. Vehicle access to the apron itself requires pre-clearance we arrange in advance with the handling agent — a step that matters far more here than at a commercial airport kerb.
Luton Executive Aviation
Luton runs a dedicated executive aviation terminal separate from the main commercial building, operated by handlers including Signature Flight Support and Harrods Aviation. Because it sits alongside a busy commercial airport, the access roads and terminal layout are less intuitive than Biggin Hill's — another reason a chauffeur who already knows the route is worth more here than the drive-time alone suggests.
What We Handle on Every Private Terminal Transfer
Direct FBO Coordination
We liaise with your handling agent ahead of landing to confirm exact positioning and timing, rather than asking you to relay logistics yourself.
Slot-Time Tracking, Not Check-In-Time Guessing
Private aviation schedules shift more than commercial flights. We track your actual slot and adjust automatically, including last-minute changes.
The Right Vehicle for the Manifest
Mercedes S-Class and BMW i7 for individual and small-group travel; Mercedes V-Class for full aircraft groups with generous luggage.
Discretion as Standard
Every chauffeur signs a Non-Disclosure Agreement. Private aviation clients are, by definition, not looking to be conspicuous.
