Why the UK remains a prime hub for private travel in Europe - London Business News | Londonlovesbusiness.com
"What it's also known for is being one of the largest (if not the largest) hubs for elite private travel in all of Europe. The UK is currently home to somewhere between 500 and 900 airports, fields and strips of various sorts and descriptions, from the sleekest private airports in the country to grass-covered airstrips used by some of the tiniest, lightest aircraft that exist:"
"London is currently Europe's leading light in terms of private wealth management, hedge funds, private equity, senior executives, royalty, family firms, and law firms that operate on a global scale. Ultra HNW individuals make it a point to not only buy homes and live here but also to travel and spend time here for multiple reasons: meetings to be attended, clients whose hands need shaking, and the like."
"This is not the kind of person who flies economy; this is the kind of person who owns their own (if not more than one) private jet, or frequents private jet hire companies to such a degree that they're on speed dial on an assistant's phone somewhere. It only makes sense that the United Kingdom's capital feeds one of its most successful industries."
The UK hosts between 500 and 900 airports, airfields, and strips, from sleek private terminals to grass airstrips for very light aircraft. London concentrates ultra-high-net-worth individuals, private wealth managers, hedge funds, private equity, senior executives, royalty, family firms, and global law firms, generating frequent private travel for meetings and client interaction. Many affluent individuals own private jets or regularly use private jet hire services. A national reputation for discretion and high-quality service further attracts elite travelers and supports a dense private aviation market concentrated around the country's capital.
