Gatwick is not the default London business-aviation airport. Most private traffic goes to Luton (LTN), Farnborough (FAB) or Biggin Hill (BQH). Gatwick is the pick when: (a) the passenger is connecting from a scheduled long-haul flight, (b) southbound Channel or Iberia routing removes a Luton departure detour, or (c) the aircraft is a heavy jet needing 3,000-plus metres of runway that Farnborough cannot offer under all conditions.
Slots are the main constraint. Gatwick is the world's busiest single-runway airport for scheduled traffic, so an ad-hoc business flight must fit its request into unused commercial capacity. Expect to file 24 to 72 hours in advance for daytime slots; short-notice slots are often only released 2 to 4 hours before departure. Signature Flight Support runs the dedicated general-aviation terminal south of the runway and handles the overwhelming majority of private movements.
