Pilot Comments for EGHH
Philipp
GA continues to be handled during the day by the flight school Bliss Aviation; PPR is coordinated there as well. VFR and IFR arrivals are no problem, even with Radar vectors. You should review the taxi chart beforehand and know where Bliss is located. You can refuel 100LL there immediately after landing (just under 2 pounds/l). Bliss’s facilities consist of two portable cabins, nothing more. For that, however, it’s really quite expensive: landing, handling, a few complimentary drinks, and 24-hour parking add up to about 120 pounds up to 1.5 tonnes, and about 160 pounds above 1.5 tonnes. Why go at all? Because the area immediately west of Bournemouth (roughly up to Poole) is beautiful and offers some of England’s best sandy beaches. UBER can be ordered directly to Bliss’s location, which can sometimes be tricky with taxi (car) bookings by phone. Unfortunately there are no longer any rental cars directly at the airport, i.e., you first have to take an UBER, e.g., to Enterprise in Christchurch. Ultimately only 2 stars due to the fees.

GA handling and PPR are mandatory at EGHH, managed by Bliss Aviation, which responds promptly to email and phone requests (+44 1202 590800). The airport operates 08:00–20:00; Bliss Aviation’s hours are 09:00–17:00, with extensions available for £50 per hour. Handling includes access to toilets and complimentary drinks/snacks. Border Force presence is arranged as needed. ATC is efficient for both VFR and IFR, with straightforward approaches and ILS/NDB procedures; expect possible holds for commercial traffic. The airport lies in Class D airspace, with specific VRPs; see AIP/NOTAM for details.
Fees for landing, handling, and parking are high compared to other GA airports. Example: combined charges about €210 for two nights or £166 total. Parking is charged separately at about €40 per night in some cases. Handling is mandatory even for light GA.
Facilities for visiting GA are limited. The GA area is on the north side in basic portacabins; hangarage may be available via maintenance organizations. Avgas is available by fuel truck; payment is straightforward. No car hire is available on site—taxi or Uber to Christchurch or other locations is required, with car hire agencies off-airport and a typical taxi ride of around 20 minutes. The nearest bus stop is about a 10-minute walk from the GA area.
Procedures vary; see AIP/NOTAM for operational details.
