London Direct Chauffeurs Ltd arranges private transfers for visitors, exhibitors, corporate groups and aviation professionals attending RIAT at RAF Fairford, Gloucestershire. Book a one-way journey, return transfer or chauffeur hire across several days.
Tell us your departure address, passenger count, luggage, event ticket date and preferred return time. We will quote for the full itinerary and confirm the permitted drop-off and collection point before travel.
Where does a chauffeur drop off RIAT visitors?
According to the event organiser's current guidance, taxis and other vehicles use the South Cerney Fast Track Park & Ride facility for drop-off and pickup. The one-way traffic system prevents direct passenger drop-off or collection at the airfield. Visitors continue to the showground using the event transport.
Before your journey: Our booking team checks the latest published RIAT instructions and agrees your collection time and meeting point with you. Event access arrangements and shuttle services are controlled by the organiser.
