The hub

Cambridge, a private aviation
gateway for business travel

Cambridge is not merely a university city — it is the anchor of a £6bn+ knowledge economy stretching across East England. The so-called Silicon Fen clusters over 5,000 tech, life sciences and AI companies within a 10-mile radius of the city centre, with institutions such as ARM Holdings, AstraZeneca's global R&D campus and the Wellcome Sanger Institute all drawing frequent executive travel. Family offices managing endowments, venture capital firms backing deep-tech spin-outs, and international academic delegations generate consistent private jet demand across the calendar year.

Cambridge Airport (EGSC/CBG) is a Category B aerodrome located approximately 3 miles east of the city, handling just over 10,000 movements annually. The facility operates daylight hours as standard, with night operations available by prior permission. Customs and Border Force are available by prior arrangement during operating hours, suited to the airport's profile as a business and general aviation gateway rather than a scheduled hub. The single paved runway (05/23) at 1,278 metres accommodates light to midsize jets without payload compromise under typical East Anglian conditions. Eastern Airways and business charter operators share ramp space managed by Inflite The Jet Centre, the principal handler on site.

Surface access from CBG is efficient: the A1303 connects directly to the city centre in under 10 minutes by car, and the M11 corridor places London Stansted (STN) within 30 minutes for repositioning or onward connections. For operators requiring heavier metal or transatlantic capacity, Stansted or London Luton (LTN) serve as natural alternates. The academic calendar — Michaelmas, Lent and Easter terms — creates predictable demand cycles, with peak congestion around June graduation ceremonies and the Cambridge Science Festival in March.
