with an ILS at both ends
The lack of IAP in one direction (03 is it?) may change in the future!

The slight issue with Gatwick CAS is well documented and not an impossible hurdle to overcome.

Which are both the reasons why Biggin will never become a big commercial airport.
If they ever did want to become a 'big commercial airport' (and I don't know if they ever said they did) they don't any more. Biggin Hill Airport Press Statement (From News Shopper) They seem to do ok with the floods of BizJets they get a lot of the time.

There's no space for an ILS on 03
Maybe true for an ILS, but not for all types IAP's although many £££££££'s will be required by Biggin to prove this.

The road transport in and out of Biggin is, I agree, crap!
