Can anyone direct me to any previous thread on operating a GIII in Europe etc?
Are there any Operating on European Private Registers or European AOC's?
thank you for your assistance

I would also be interested to know which airports closest to London can still accept the GIII.

I would think that due to its noise output, it would be banned from most airports,
I'm pretty sure there's none available for charter.
For London, I think Biggin and Luton take them. Possibly also Stansted, though definately not Farnborough.

@ Earl of Rochester
London Luton (EGGW) is the best airport for operating GIIs and GIIIs into. No noise problems here, with, or without hush-kits! In fact, we had a South African G2SP in this weekend. They blasted off this afternoon to Basel - pictured at the link below:

Luton is also open 24hrs all year long, unlike STN, FAB & BQH! FBOs are Signature, Harrods and Ocean Sky.

As CHris Hellinger (the owner) said "winglets are sexy, hush kits aint, the locals love the noise of the Speys at full chat":E
