A military station, not an airport
Northolt is home to Royal Air Force units and its primary purpose is military. Civil movements take place within a limited allocation and require prior permission, which the aircraft operator obtains in advance rather than on the day.
Entry to the station is controlled by the Ministry of Defence. Vehicle and occupant details are generally required ahead of arrival, and the guard room may decline entry where clearance has not been arranged. That decision rests with the station and with nobody else.
Because of this, the practical arrangement is often that the chauffeur waits outside the station boundary and passengers are brought to the vehicle. Where a different arrangement has been authorised for your movement, tell us and we will work to it exactly.
