Biggin Hill Airport (Booth Q82) isn't content being the third-most-popular destination for London-area-bound business aircraft traffic. The former military air base, 19 kilometers (12 miles) from central London, logged a record-breaking 22,000 movements last year and is making investments in infrastructure to attract more growth.

Last year's traffic smashed the airport's previous record of 18,500 takeoffs and landings in 2019. It also represented around a fifth of the VIP traffic across the competitive London gateway niche, which also includes Stansted, Northolt, London City, and Oxford airports.
