Redhill Aerodrome (ICAO: EGKR) is an operational general aviation aerodrome located 1.5 NM (2.8 km; 1.7 mi) south-east of Redhill, Surrey, England, in green belt land. It also serves as an important reliever airport for Gatwick airport.
Redhill Aerodrome has a CAA Ordinary Licence (Number P421) that allows flights for the public transport of passengers or for flying instruction as authorised by the licensee (Redhill Aerodrome Limited).[2]
It is serviced by a brasserie and coffee house called The Pilot's Hub[3] which is situated within Hangar 9 at the aerodrome. The Pilot's Hub is open 7 days a week and is open to the public. It has a large outdoor viewing area and seating area as well as indoor seating and conference room hire. Hangar 9 itself is full of light aircraft, many of them historic, and visitors to The Pilot's Hub can walk around the hangar to see the aircraft close up.
