Business aircraft access to London Luton and Stansted airports will be constricted at night from June 1 through September 30 due to the removal of ad hoc slots between 11 p.m. and 6 a.m. to make way for late arrivals of scheduled airline flights. The British Business and General Aviation Association (BBGA) has urged the UK government to allocate slots to ensure some access for nonscheduled traffic.

During the summer season, only London Southend Airport and Birmingham International Airport (which is more than 100 miles from the UK capital) will remain open on a 24/7 basis. Farnborough Airport closes at 10 p.m. (8 p.m. on weekends), Biggin Hill closes at 11 p.m. (10 p.m. on weekends), and London Oxford is open until midnight.
