Private Jet Guide to London Luton (LTN)
London Luton Airport — LTN / EGGW, London, United Kingdom. Luton carries the largest share of London's business aviation and takes the biggest aircraft, alongside a busy scheduled operation.
London Luton Airport for private flights
Luton sits north of London and combines dedicated business-aviation terminals with a high-volume low-cost airline operation. For private passengers the private facilities keep the two apart, and Luton's advantage is capacity: it handles the widest range of aircraft, including large VIP airliners, and has the hangar and maintenance infrastructure that goes with being a base rather than a visit.
The trade-offs are slots and noise rules. Departure and arrival timings compete with scheduled traffic, and night operations are restricted, so an unrestricted late departure is not guaranteed. Both are checked per flight.
For itineraries into north London, Hertfordshire, the Midlands or Cambridge, Luton is usually also the shorter drive. For west and south-west London, Farnborough generally wins.
Ground handling and terminals
- Several dedicated business-aviation terminals separate from the airline terminal.
- Immigration and customs processed in the private facilities.

Slots, curfews, parking and customs
