The hub

Goodwood, a private aviation
gateway for business travel

Chichester/Goodwood Airport (EGHR/QUG) is one of the most operationally singular airfields in the United Kingdom. Situated entirely within the Goodwood Estate in West Sussex, the aerodrome serves as the primary access point for the Duke of Richmond's private estate complex, which encompasses a Formula 1-heritage motor circuit, a Category A racecourse, a golf course, and Goodwood House itself. During the Festival of Speed and Goodwood Revival, the aerodrome handles a significant spike in business aviation traffic, with operators from across Europe positioning aircraft to avoid the surface congestion that affects all road routes into the estate.

Operationally, EGHR functions as a daylight-hours VFR field with a grass runway configuration. The primary runway (24/06) stretches to approximately 885 metres on grass. Commercial and charter operations require prior permission (PPR), and customs clearance is arranged in advance rather than being available on-demand. Handlers on the field coordinate directly with inbound operators, and the aerodrome authority has extensive experience managing concentrated movements during the four major annual events. Positioning from London Luton (LTN) or Farnborough (FAB) requires a 20–30 minute flight, making it viable even for last-minute event departures.

The surrounding economic region includes Chichester as the nearest city, with significant employment anchored in advanced manufacturing, agriculture, and the visitor economy driven by the Goodwood brand itself. The estate employs over 600 people and generates substantial B2B traffic across hospitality, automotive, and media sectors. Winchester and Portsmouth are within 60 minutes by road, while London is accessible in 90 minutes via the A3/M25 corridor. For clients requiring wider European connectivity post-event, Gatwick (LGW) lies approximately 40 minutes east by road.
