Wimbledon by Private Jet: Flights to London for the Championships

Wimbledon 2026: dates and venue

According to the official calendar, the 2026 edition — the 139th — runs from 29 June to 12 July, over two weeks. The tournament is played at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club, in Wimbledon (SW19), in south-west London. It is the oldest of the four Grand Slam tournaments, founded in 1877, and the only one still played on grass. In 2025, it welcomed a record 548,770 spectators over the fortnight. Between the Royal Box, the all-white dress code and the strawberries and cream, Wimbledon cultivates an unrivalled prestige — and demand for premium hospitality.

Which airport for Wimbledon by private jet?

London is the best-equipped capital in Europe for business airports. For Wimbledon, two stand out:

• London Biggin Hill (BQH): the most relevant for south-west London. It is the only airport in the area with no slot restrictions — a decisive advantage in the July peak season and for last-minute departures.
• London Farnborough (FAB): the benchmark of London business aviation, entirely dedicated, with a runway able to handle heavy and ultra-long-range aircraft.

London City (LCY) remains the closest to the centre, but its short runway limits aircraft; Luton and Stansted, open 24/7, handle every type of jet. Each airfield is detailed in our London airports for private jets guide; our teams select the most suitable for your aircraft and programme.

Why a private jet for Wimbledon

Over the fortnight, demand converges on London: hospitality guests, executives, personalities, but also players' entourages — coaches, physios, families — on tight schedules. A private jet brings the flexibility to arrive and leave at the chosen times, the discretion of a business terminal away from commercial flows, and control of time. In July, the peak period, slots and parking tighten in London: planning ahead is essential — and Biggin Hill, with no slot restrictions, keeps the edge for last-minute flights.
