Biggin Hill Airport’s (BHAL) local authority The London Borough of Bromley has approved in principal its request to extend its operating hours.

BHAL has requested extending its operating hours from 06:30 hours to 23:00 hours Monday to Saturday (currently 07:30 to 21:00) and from 08:00 to 23:00 on Sundays and public holidays – versus 09:00 to 21:00, currently.

Biggin Hill and the Council will now negotiate a more detailed agreement to extend the operating hours, for final approval by the Council in the near future.
