Christmas Opening Hours 2021
The festive season is nearly upon us. Blackbushe Airport remains open throughout the festive period, only shutting for Christmas Day.
A CONVENIENT LONDON OPTION FOR PRIVATE AIRCRAFT
We are just 45 minutes from central London, and just minutes from the M3 Junction 4A. We have a comfy passenger lounge and convenient car parking just steps from the aircraft. If you’re taking your pets with you over the break, remember you can arrive into Blackbushe with certain approved operators under the government’s Pet Travel Scheme.
FESTIVE FLYING FOR GENERAL AVIATION
It is the season for family. We look forward to welcoming you and those in your Christmas party to Blackbushe over the festive period.

The below table contains our opening hours. Please note the PPR requirements. We want to ensure our staff can enjoy as much time with their families as possible, therefore once pre-booked flights have been completed, the aerodrome will close and staff will go home.
