Fairoaks Airport Airport codes|FRK|EGTF is a private airfield on the edge of the village of Chobham, two nautical miles (3.7 km) north of Woking, Surrey. The airport is operated by the Alan Mann Group, owned by Mr Alan Mann and the Greek shipping magnate Niki Papadakis, whose yellow and black shipping line corporate colours are used throughout the airfield.

Fairoaks Aerodrome has a CAA Ordinary Licence (Number P560) that allows flights for the public transport of passengers or for flying instruction as authorised by the licensee (Fairoaks Airport Limited) [ [http://www.caa.co.uk/docs/375/srg_asd_ordinarylicences.pdf Civil Aviation Authority Aerodrome Ordinary Licences] ] .

The facility is used as a maintenance base but also hosts many light aircraft, some of which are operated by its two training schools - Fairoaks Flight Centre and London Transport Flying Club. Its business centre is substantially dedicated to aviation-related enterprises, including the headquarters of national organisations such as the European Regions Airline Association and the British Helicopter Advisory Board.

Fairoaks is equipped with navigational aids: coverage is provided by local beacons at Ockham, Midhurst and London Heathrow. There is a small on-site fire and rescue service, comprising two 4WD rescue vehicles.

Since 1994, one of the three helicopters of the South East Regional Air Support Unit (Metropolitan and Surrey Police Forces) has been based at Fairoaks. More recently, a new dedicated Surrey Police helicopter has been based at Fairoaks. There are no restrictions on the number of helicopter movements, although fixed wing movements are limited to 120 thousand per annum.
