Congratulations to BIGGIN HILL HERITAGE HANGAR LTD who have just returned their sixteenth Spitfire to the air! MK912 took its maiden post-restoration flight from London Biggin Hill earlier this week; almost nine years to the day since its last flight on 1st August 2015. The aircraft proudly carries the markings of 312 Squadron (Czech) which it wore on D-Day, flown by P/O Miroslav ‘Tony’ Liskutin DFC. He was believed to be the first allied fighter pilot to land in France on 6th June 1944. Biggin Hill Heritage Hangar is home to the largest gathering of Spitfires in the world and is at the forefront of heritage restoration. You can also fly in one of their two-seat Spitfires from the most famous RAF fighter station of World War Two.

𝗜𝘁'𝘀 𝗧𝗶𝗺𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗕𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 Our Commercial Director, Robert Walters FRAeS, was honoured to attend the BBGA British Business and General Aviation Association reception at the House of Commons last night. The prestigious event brought together over 200 industry professionals for an opportunity to meet with Ministers, MPs and other Government officials to demonstrate the value of business aviation in driving economic growth for the UK and Europe. As the providers of the path and gateway to the UK economy, facilitating billions of pounds of inward investment, our industry employs thousands of people, directly and indirectly in the communities where we are located. A new independent economic study, by Lichfields, showcases how far London Biggin Hill Airport has come in the last decade, and its significant role in driving positive economic change, investment and employment. The data highlights that for every 1,000 business air traffic movements, 88 FTE jobs are supported and £6.47 million GVA is generated – injecting tangible benefits into the local and national economies.

Congratulations to Bombardier on their record-breaking flight from London Biggin Hill Airport to Montreal, powered by Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF)! Did you know, Air bp’s low carbon renewable fuel, which is produced from waste and residue products, provides a lifecycle carbon reduction of around 80% compared to the traditional jet fuel it replaces. As the first airport in London to offer SAF, this flight marks another significant milestone in our sustainability journey, as we actively work towards our goal of becoming a carbon neutral airport by 2029, whilst also enabling our customers and resident businesses to meet their own sustainability goals. #LondonBigginHill #SustainableAviationFuel #Bombardier #BizAv #SAF #Aviation
What's better than a Bombardier Global with a new livery? A Bombardier Global with a new livery that sets a new record from London to Montreal on sustainable aviation fuel (#SAF). On July 5, our #Global6500 demonstration aircraft completed the city pair in just 6 hours and 9 minutes, averaging a speed of approx. 845 km/h. This achievement demonstrates once again that performance can go hand in hand with #sustainability. In 2023, Bombardier has pledged that all its flight operations will be covered by sustainable aviation fuel, setting a powerful example for the #aviation industry. 🎥: David Strassburg
