Get an instant quoteLondon Luton Airport (LTN) is one of London’s primary private aviation hubs, sitting 32 miles north of central London. Unlike Biggin Hill or Farnborough, Luton operates 24 hours with no curfew, making it the natural choice for early-morning departures or late-night transcontinental arrivals.
The airport’s 2,162m runway accepts the full range of business jets including ultra-long-range aircraft like the Global 7500 and Gulfstream G700. Two FBOs operate on-airport: Signature Flight Support Luton for standard premium handling, and Harrods Aviation for the most luxurious FBO experience in British private aviation.
Connectivity to central London is strong: Thameslink trains take 25 to 40 minutes to St Pancras, helicopter transfers reach Battersea in 20 minutes, and car transfers run 45 to 60 minutes depending on traffic. Luton’s combination of long runway, 24/7 ops, and Harrods Aviation make it the default LON FBO for heavy-jet transatlantic and international flights.
