Fly.
Aircraft have landed on these 444 acres since 1911, and it continues to welcome pioneer flight to this day.
The former RAF Bicester aerodrome, our home, is a site of national historic significance that now operates as a dynamic private airfield dedicated to business aviation and cutting-edge research and development.
With over a century of continuous aviation heritage, the grass runways have supported everything from early pioneers like the Bristol Boxkite to iconic wartime aircraft such as the Bristol Blenheim. Today, the airfield is evolving to support the next generation of innovation, including advanced air mobility and electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) technologies.
Designed to accommodate business flights and provide a flexible environment for R&D and technology testing, the airfield offers a unique opportunity to trial, develop, and showcase forward-thinking aviation solutions in a historically rich yet future-focused setting.
Airfield access and landing permissions are available on request. We welcome enquiries for business aviation and R&D activity—please get in touch to explore your requirements.
