Redhill Aerodrome is a small grass airfield in the Surrey countryside, just south of Redhill and only a few miles north of Gatwick. It has no airline flights, but it is busy in its own way: flight training schools, helicopter operators, private pilots, aircraft maintenance companies and a steady stream of visitors. Getting to and from the aerodrome is not always easy, because it is down a country lane with no public transport to the door. Our Redhill Airport taxis run at fixed prices to Gatwick, London, the rest of Surrey and beyond.
Where the aerodrome is
Redhill Aerodrome is on Kingsmill Lane near South Nutfield, in the countryside east of the A23 between Redhill and Horley. The entrance is down a narrow lane, and the operators and businesses are spread around the site. When you book, tell us which company or hangar you are visiting, and the driver will take you to the right building rather than the main gate.
Redhill Aerodrome to Gatwick
The most common journey is to or from Gatwick, about six miles away. Pilots and passengers connecting with an airline flight, training students arriving from overseas, and visitors flying in on private aircraft all use it. The driver takes the A23 south through Salfords and Horley, or the M23 from junction 8. In normal traffic, it is 12 to 15 minutes, and a saloon costs from £39, fixed at booking.
At Gatwick, the driver will drop you at North or South Terminal, or meet you in arrivals with a name board and track your flight if you are coming the other way.
Redhill to London and other destinations
We also drive from the aerodrome to central London, Heathrow, Croydon, Reigate, Guildford and further afield. Business visitors flying into Redhill by helicopter or light aircraft often need a car into the City or the West End, and our executive saloon, Mercedes S-Class and electric BMW i7 suit those trips. Enter your destination for a fixed price.
Flight training students
Redhill is home to several flight training schools, and many students come from overseas to train here. At the start of a course, students often arrive at Gatwick or Heathrow with a lot of luggage and need to get to their accommodation near the aerodrome. Give us the student's name, flight number and the address of their accommodation, and the driver will meet them in arrivals. Training schools can open a business account for regular student transfers.
Weather and flight changes
Light aircraft flights depend on the weather, and plans change. If your flight into Redhill is delayed or diverted, call us and we will rearrange the pickup. If you are flying out and the weather turns, tell us and we will change the booking without fuss.
Public transport
Redhill and Earlswood stations are a couple of miles away, and Salfords station is closer, but none is within easy walking distance with luggage, and the lane to the aerodrome has no pavement for much of its length. A taxi is the practical way to reach the aerodrome for most visitors.
Gatwick's drop-off charges
Gatwick has charged £10 for the first ten minutes in its forecourt drop-off zones since January 2026, then £1 a minute up to thirty minutes. With a pre-booked taxi, the fixed fare covers it.
Visiting pilots and aircraft owners
Private pilots fly into Redhill from across the UK and Europe, for maintenance appointments, business meetings or a weekend away. If you are arriving by air and need a car onwards, give us your expected landing time and the tail number or the company handling your aircraft. If you land early or late, call the driver and they will adjust. On the way back, we can collect you from your hotel or meeting and have you at the aerodrome in time for your slot.
Helicopter passengers
Several helicopter operators fly from Redhill, including charter flights to events such as race meetings and to the City. Passengers often connect with a car at one end. Our executive cars and chauffeurs are used to working to flight schedules, and the driver will wait at the agreed meeting point at the aerodrome.
Reigate, Redhill and the local area
The aerodrome is a few minutes from Redhill town centre and the station, Reigate, Nutfield and Merstham. For short local journeys, such as to a hotel or a business meeting nearby, enter the address for a fixed price.
