## Description

Roughly 38,000 sq ft of new hangarage is due to be ready for occupation at Blackbushe (IATA: BBS, ICAO: EGLK) by the end of 2026 — capacity built for business jets and light aircraft, not for freight, which this general-aviation field on the A30 south-west of London does not handle. The hangars and a new terminal form part of a modernisation programme worth around USD 20 million, unlocked in May 2025 when a decades-old common-land restriction was resolved through an approved land exchange. Laid out during the Second World War as RAF Hartford Bridge, the airport carried scheduled services in the 1950s; today flying schools, private owners, helicopter maintenance and business charter set the pace. Shippers in Surrey and Hampshire route air cargo through London Heathrow (LHR, about 30 km to the north-east), which offers dedicated cargo terminals and customs clearance. Farnborough (FAB) is the immediate neighbour for business aviation, while London Stansted (STN) is the reference point for freighter charters.
