Spitfires and Hurricanes scrambled from here during the 1940 Battle of Britain; today London Biggin Hill Airport (IATA: BQH, ICAO: EGKB) in the London Borough of Bromley is one of the UK's busiest business-aviation fields. Bombardier runs the country's largest business-jet maintenance (MRO) operation on site — an expanded service centre with 22 maintenance bays and more than 250 staff, with a new paint hangar due in August 2026. Over 70 aerospace companies and more than 1,300 jobs cluster at the airport, but it handles no scheduled passenger or commercial cargo traffic, only business and private jets. For air freight across Greater London, London Heathrow (LHR) or Gatwick (LGW) are the nearest options.
