Blackbushe Airport is a long-established general aviation airfield positioned on the borders of Hampshire, Surrey and Berkshire, and it serves a specific part of the wider London private jet charter market very well. Located approximately 60 kilometres southwest of central London, it is best understood as an airport for lighter charter aircraft and for travellers heading to the western and southwestern side of the capital rather than deep into central London itself.

Frequently Asked Questions
The BLAK team answers the most common questions and covers the essentials for those thinking about flying to and from Chambéry.
How busy does Chambéry Airport get during the winter ski season?
Chambéry becomes one of the busiest seasonal private aviation airports in Europe during the peak ski season between December and March. The busiest periods are typically Saturday and Sunday mornings, when travellers arrive for ski changeovers in resorts such as Courchevel, Méribel and Val d’Isère. During these peak weekends the airport operates under strict slot coordination, meaning private jet arrivals and departures must be carefully scheduled in advance.

Can large private jets operate into Chambéry Airport?
Yes, but operations depend on aircraft performance and weather conditions. Chambéry’s runway is capable of accommodating many midsize and some large business jets, however the airport sits within Alpine terrain, which requires specific arrival procedures and careful performance planning. Because of these operational considerations, some long-range aircraft occasionally use Geneva Airport instead, with travellers transferring by helicopter or car to their final ski resort.

How quickly can you reach the major ski resorts from Chambéry Airport?
One of the biggest advantages of flying private jet to Chambéry is the proximity to the world’s largest ski areas. Courchevel and Méribel are typically around 1 hour 30 minutes by car, while Val d’Isère and Tignes are slightly further into the Tarentaise valley. Helicopter transfers are also common during the winter season and can reduce travel times dramatically, often placing travellers directly in resort within 20–30 minutes after landing.

Why do many private jet travellers choose Chambéry instead of Geneva?
While Geneva Airport handles larger aircraft and year-round traffic, Chambéry Airport sits significantly closer to many of the French Alps ski resorts. For travellers heading specifically to resorts in the Three Valleys, Tarentaise or Savoie region, arriving by private jet charter to Chambéry can reduce transfer times and avoid the heavier commercial traffic often experienced at larger international airports.
