Biggin Hill International Air Fair 2009

Enter our photo gallery

The Biggin Hill International Air Fair is not only one of the most famous worldwide aviation events in existence but it is also the largest privately organised air show in Europe. Visitors in their thousands flock to Biggin Hill Airport, the former World War Two fighter station, for the great mix of flying display participants and ground attractions, offering fun and entertainment for all the family.

The gates open at 8am and the uninterrupted flying display is usually between the hours of 11.45am and 5.30pm. You can buy your tickets online at their discounted price or purchase them on the day of your visit at the entrance gates.

Our traffic plan has been revised following the 2008 show which will offer advance ticket holders dedicated routes. We have also invested in new credit card facilities to speed up the payment process on the day. Please see our travel information and directions and if you're planning on staying overnight in the area then we also have a list of local accommodation contact details for your convenience.

Some of our most common queries have been answered on our frequently asked questions page, so if you're thinking about contacting us about this year's show then please read this page first.
