Air charter in England? Brexit has reshuffled the decks<\/span><\/h2>\n

Customs procedures, airport staff shortage, reduced handling capacities and limited opening hours have all impacted aircraft availability.<\/p>\n

Almost 3 years after the United Kingdom\u2019s exit from the European Union, which airports are effectively available in 2022<\/strong>? You may need this information to organise a last-minute England-France air charter for your urgent freight.<\/p>\n

Below is a list of airports and airfields available (at the time of writing) for private air freight charter flights, based on our recent operations<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The list, sorted by British region,<\/strong> outlines each airport\u2019s capacity with regard to day and night availability, the potential need for prior notice, and freight handling capacity (parcel and\/or pallets).<\/p>\n

Note<\/strong>: This article relates an observed situation at a given moment. Each airport capacity is susceptible to change without prior notice, which clearly falls outside the author\u2019s control and responsibility. For the most up-to-date information, please contact the Air Time Critical\u00ae<\/a> team the day you wish to charter a cargo flight for your dedicated shipment.<\/pre>\n
