01 — The terminal handover
Where the chauffeur meets you at Biggin Hill FBO
At Biggin Hill FBO, agree the landside meeting point and flight operator or handling contact before dispatch. This private-aviation airfield is not a scheduled-flight terminal, so the airport name alone does not identify the passenger door. The chauffeur uses the reception named in the booking, holds a name board at the agreed landside point and keeps the passenger contact available. No airside vehicle access is assumed. The airport lists both Biggin Hill Executive Handling and JETEX as full-service FBOs; confirm which one handles the flight.
For a departure, the car approaches via the A233 Main Road airport entrance and facility-specific landside instructions; the operator lists TN16 3BH for its main airport address. The operator's current instruction identifies the permitted landside set-down or parking-side point for that flight. The chauffeur assists with the booked luggage and hands the passenger over at the confirmed reception, while airfield staff control access beyond it. Historic airfield views are not a guide to the current passenger entrance.

03 — The return collection
Landing time starts the arrivals plan
A private or general aviation arrival does not follow a scheduled terminal's public arrivals-hall process. FCET uses the flight information supplied for the booking, while the passenger or handling contact confirms when the party is ready at the agreed landside reception. Landing time alone does not identify the release time or authorise access beyond the airfield boundary.
The booking includes 15 minutes of complimentary airport waiting. If the party needs longer, the passenger or authorised contact updates the office and chauffeur. The vehicle uses the authorised landside meeting or vehicle point confirmed by the named handling facility, subject to the current operator's instruction. The chauffeur helps with declared luggage at the accessible landside point before confirming the onward address.
04 — Private-aviation collection
The named FBO sets the vehicle handover
The airport has two full-service FBOs. Confirm Biggin Hill Executive Handling or JETEX, then follow that team's landside reception and vehicle instruction for the booked movement.

07 — From Berkshire and London
Planning the road journey to Biggin Hill FBO
The planning guide from Reading is 59.8 miles and 81 minutes; from Wokingham it is 53.5 miles and 75 minutes. From central London, allow around 16.8 miles and 56 minutes as a broad route guide. The precise collection address, traffic and airfield reception approach can change the time required, so the booked pickup is set against the requested reception arrival.
Give us the flight, facility, pickup address, passenger mobile and substantial luggage. The journey cost is confirmed at booking for that itinerary. FCET is available 24/7, uses DBS-checked chauffeurs and has provided chauffeur-driven travel since 2004. A return sector carries its own flight and meeting instruction, so the outward set-down note is not used as the arrivals collection plan.
