Same Day Courier to Biggin Hill Airport from Kent

London Biggin Hill is one of the closest airports to west Kent, so your part can often be collected and delivered in one morning. Same Day Couriers Kent drives it from your site to the hangar or stores you name, typically 40 minutes to 1 hour from Maidstone via the M20, M26, M25 and A233.

Delivery details

Delivering to Biggin Hill Airport: what to know

Why would I send a part to Biggin Hill?

Because it’s a maintenance airport as much as a departure point, home to more than 70 aerospace companies. The airport says it hosts more business aviation maintenance providers than any other airport in Europe. Bombardier’s London Biggin Hill Service Centre, the UK’s largest business aviation maintenance facility at close to 250,000 sq ft with 22 service bays, is here, along with Hangar 510’s FBO and maintenance base and RAS Group’s completions work.

How long will it take?

From Maidstone it’s typically 25 to 30 miles: the M20 and M26 to the M25, then the A25 and the A233 north through Westerham to the airfield on Main Road. From Sevenoaks, Tonbridge and Swanley it’s shorter still. For most same-day jobs your part stays with the one driver the whole way, and we send live updates so the engineers know when to expect it.

What should I tell you?

The collection postcode, the receiving company, the hangar or building, a contact and mobile, and whether the aircraft is AOG. Declare any dangerous goods. The driver hands over landside and records the recipient’s name and time. Cover is up to £100 as standard; if the part is worth more, give us its approximate value and we confirm any extra cover that can be arranged, and its cost, before you accept.

The Same Day Couriers Kent difference

  • Less handling on the way

    For most same-day jobs, your consignment travels directly with the assigned driver. It is not normally taken to a depot, sorted or moved between vehicles.

  • The vehicle you actually need

    We match the vehicle to your job, from a motorcycle for documents to a 7.5-tonne lorry with tail-lift for pallets, so you're not paying for spare capacity.

  • You know where it is

    The driver keeps you updated while the job is running, and proof of delivery gives you the recipient's name and the time of handover.

  • Cover agreed before you book

    Every consignment includes cover up to £100. Worth more? Tell us the value and, where extra insurance can be arranged, we confirm the cover and cost before you accept.
