private aviation airports and access
Shoreham Airport (EGKA/ESH) holds the distinction of being the oldest licensed airfield in the United Kingdom, with its iconic Art Deco terminal building dating to 1936. Positioned on the West Sussex coast between Brighton and Worthing, it serves as a practical general aviation gateway for the South Coast corridor — a region encompassing media, creative industries, engineering firms, and the substantial conference and hospitality economy centred on Brighton. With approximately 7,000 movements annually, the airport operates with a deliberately measured tempo suited to light aircraft, turboprops, and smaller business jets.
Operationally, EGKA requires prior permission (PPR) for all arrivals and departures. The field operates during daylight hours, and customs clearance is available with advance notice during operating hours — making it viable for short-notice international arrivals from nearby European points such as Paris Le Bourget or Nice Côte d'Azur. Runway 02/20 measures 870 metres, which limits operations to piston aircraft, light turboprops, and very light jets — larger cabin jets will need to position through London Luton or Gatwick instead. Ground transfer to central Brighton runs approximately 20 minutes via the A259.
The surrounding economy draws a mix of leisure and business traffic: Brighton's festival calendar peaks in May and draws creative sector executives, while the sailing season from June through August activates coastal estate and yacht-club demand. Corporate conference season runs September through November, aligning with Brighton's substantial hotel and venue infrastructure. For operators familiar with United Kingdom GA airfields, EGKA represents a low-friction, coastal alternative to congested London-area airports when the mission profile and aircraft type permit.
