## Description

RAF Northolt (IATA: NHT, ICAO: EGWU) is located in Ruislip near London, at approximately 38 metres — one of the world's oldest still-active military airfields (since 1915), used for state and VIP flights by the British Royal Family, Prime Minister, and NATO allies. The airport supports government, diplomatic, and military air operations; limited charter flights are possible. No commercial cargo operations; for air freight in Greater London, London Heathrow Airport (IATA: LHR) is the nearest cargo option.
