Harrods Aviation has made special arrangements with the UK Border Agency (UKBA) for business aircraft passengers and crew to be able to complete immigration procedures at its London Luton Airport FBO. The service, for which the company is paying, follows a UKBA decision earlier this year not to continue the practice of allowing business aircraft operators to use the pre-clearance procedure, which avoided the inconvenience of having passports checked in the main airport terminal.

The UK business aviation services group claims to be the only Luton FBO to provide this service, which is available between 6 a.m. and 10 p.m. UKBA staff are already available on site at Harrods’s other London-area FBO at Stansted Airport.
