London Ashford Airport (Lydd) is ideally located to attract light cargo and air freight operators. With the M20 just 20 minutes away and the M25 just 40 minutes, onward fast access to the whole of the South East is impressive. Eurostar and Ashford International station is just 15 miles from the airport and the expanding port of Dover can be easily reached in 35 minutes.

Lydd operates with no night-time or weekend restrictions making it an ideal airport of consideration for air-freight operators wishing to expand their overnight services. With ample land set aside for expansion and future development, long term partnership opportunities are good too. With our upgraded ATC (out side of the London TMA), a newly resurfaced and grooved runway, ILS and upgraded fire and rescue services, this all adds up to an improving and commercially viable offering. Some of the UK's largest businesses are based within very close proximity including, Quest International, Kimberley-Clarke Holdings, Aventis, BAE Systems, GlaxoSmithKline, Delphi, Saga and the Pfizer Group. As the airport expansion program and master plan develops to account for some 2 million passengers a year by 2014, the catalytic effect will mean the generation of thousands of jobs locally and undoubtedly new business opportunities.
