- Aircraft owners choose the airport that gives them the most flexible opening hours.
- They don't always fly earlier or later, but they want to know they can if they need to.
- More competitive opening hours means that more owners and companies will choose Biggin Hill as their home base - this means bringing more work to the airport and more local jobs.
- Because every business aircraft based here needs ground staff, maintenance staff, engineers, cleaners, fire fighters and others.
