London Biggin Hill Airport has completed a major runway resurfacing project. The work, achieved with the support of a funding package from HSBC UK, marks a key phase in the airport’s investment to improve operational resilience and deliver smoother arrivals for business aviation customers.
Following months of work, the runway now features a new grooved surface, along with advanced LED and centreline lighting, which increase visual cues and situational awareness for pilots. Alongside the resurfacing, London Biggin Hill has introduced a 24/7 AUTO-METAR service, providing continuous live weather data, and an enhanced Instrument Runway Visual Range (IRVR) system offering more precise visibility readings.
