Private jet charter to Afghanistan

One question comes up in almost every Afghanistan enquiry we receive: aircraft clearly fly over the country every day, so why can a charter not land there? This page answers it properly, and sets out what we do arrange instead. Our customers have access to 6500 jets of all types and configurations available for rent. We will help you choose the best option based on your needs and objectives. Our catalog contains the models from the largest manufacturers: Gulfstream, Dassault, Embraer, Airbus, Boeing, Bombardier, Learjet, Cessna, Beechcraft, Pilatus, HondaJet, etc. For 15 years of successful work, we have established partnerships with the world’s largest airlines and VIP terminals, which means we can offer you the most favorable flight conditions and a high level of service. Our experts will manage the organization of your flight - starting with paperwork, agreements, etc., and ending with a transfer and meeting at the airport. Our company provides a full range of business aviation and concierge services. The aircraft we quote for these sectors sit at the London fields and in the North, with Gulf-based partners covering anything that starts east of Europe.

 

 

At your request, the aviation consultants of Private Jets UK will help you choose the jet with the suitable technical parameters (production year, flight hours, and home base). The cost of the private jet charter towards Afghanistan depends on many factors, such as the model of the business jet, the number of passengers, departure and destination airports, type of flight, duration of parking, additional services, etc. Therefore, we calculate the price of each order individually taking into account your wishes. You can use an online calculator to get an instant charter quote. Please indicate your real contact details to get the final calculation.

You can calculate the cost of your flight in several ways:

• using an online calculator on the website (however, it shows only the approximate price);
• via Messenger (WhatsApp or Telegram);
• by landline or cell phone;
• via e-mail (jets@private-jets.co.uk).

 

 

Current status of private jet flights to Afghanistan

The distinction matters because it is the one people are usually asking about. Yes, aircraft fly over Afghanistan today. No, that does not mean a charter can land there. What we arrange is the flight to the cities from which Kabul is genuinely reached: Dubai, Islamabad and Tashkent, each with its own scheduled service onward and its own reason for being chosen.

 

 

Every price on this page is indicative and built the way a real quote is built: a named aircraft on a named sector, two passengers unless stated otherwise. The gateway table below shows current levels, and a personal calculation takes our consultant about 20 minutes through any form here.

 

How long does it take to fly to Afghanistan?

London to Kabul is 3,087 nautical miles, which a long-range cabin would cover in roughly seven hours were the approach available. It is not, so the times that matter are the ones to the gateways below, each of which is a single sector with no technical stop.

 

Worked examples on the gateway sectors. Distances are great-circle; the times allow for the routings actually flown, which currently avoid Iranian airspace and add roughly half an hour on the Gulf and Central Asian legs:

1 route London Luton - Dubai (DWC), by private jet Challenger 605

• Aircraft range: 7,408 km;
• Flight distance: 2,978 nm / 5,515 km great-circle;
• Cruising speed: 870 km/h;
• Flight time: about 7:15 h on the southern corridor via Egypt and Saudi Arabia

 

2 route Manchester - Dubai (DWC), by private jet Legacy 650

• Aircraft range: 7,223 km;
• Flight distance: 3,063 nm / 5,672 km great-circle;
• Cruising speed: 850 km/h;
• Flight time: about 7:35 h on the same southern routing

 

3 route London Luton - Tashkent (TAS), by private jet Global 5000

• Aircraft range: 9,630 km;
• Flight distance: 2,831 nm / 5,243 km great-circle;
• Cruising speed: 900 km/h;
• Flight time: about 6:45 h on the northern routing via the Caucasus

 

4 route London Luton - Islamabad (ISB), by private jet Global 6000

• Aircraft range: 11,112 km;
• Flight distance: 3,261 nm / 6,039 km great-circle;
• Cruising speed: 907 km/h;
• Flight time: about 7:35 h northern routing, with Afghan airspace crossed above FL320 where the operator permits it

 

5 route Edinburgh - Islamabad (ISB), by private jet Gulfstream G650

• Aircraft range: 12,964 km;
• Flight distance: 3,321 nm / 6,150 km great-circle;
• Cruising speed: 950 km/h;
• Flight time: about 7:25 h northern routing

 

The exact flight time depends on the model of the business jet, as well as the speed of the tail or head wind. Our consultant will make a detailed calculation of the flight time for the chosen business jet.

 

 

Prices for the private jet flights to Afghanistan

These are the sectors we can fly: British departures to the three gateways, listed by price. Each figure buys the whole aircraft one way, and all three are long enough to need a heavy or long-range cabin:

 

If you have any questions about the departure or the flight itself, you can ask them using the form below:

 

Prices depending on the type of business jet

We can clearly show the high dependence of the cost of the flight, on the type of aircraft - we have collected approximate data, at the price of 1 flight hour, for various types of business jets:

• Turboprops - from 1400 EUR per flight hour;
• Small jet - from 1800 to 2500 EUR per flight hour;
• Light jet - from 2300 to 3200 EUR per flight hour;
• Medium-sized jet (identical to Cessna Citation XLS+, Hawker 800XP, etc.) - from 2900 to 4100 EUR per flight hour;
• Large medium-class jet (similar to Challenger 300, etc.) - from 4500 to 5000 EUR per flight hour;
• Large jet (similar to Legacy 600) - from 4900 to 5700 EUR per flight hour;
• Long-haul jet (similar to Global 5000, Gulfstream G550, Falcon 7X, etc.) - from 6500 to 8500 EUR per flight hour;
• Business liners - from 10000 EUR per flight hour.

 

 

Also, we have prepared a table with the general prices of the most popular planes:

 

The cost per hour indicated in the table is preliminary and does not constitute an offer or a commercial offer. Exact prices are available from the managers of the company.

Private jets are ready to take off

Our database holds over 6500 business jets. On these sectors the choice narrows quickly, because Dubai, Tashkent and Islamabad are all long flights, and the classes below are listed with that in mind:

 

This is only a part of what is available. The aircraft on your contract is chosen for the sector and the date, and can be positioned from a neighbouring country when nothing suitable is free in Britain.

 

How to book a private jet?

You can book a private jet flight towards Afghanistan in 6 easy steps:

1. Flight request – indicating the route and your preferences for the model of business jet and other points.
2. Coordination of flight details – our consultant will contact you to offer the possible flight options and answer all your questions.
3. Commercial offer – we will send you a final offer on a specific model taking into account all your wishes.
4. Signing of the contract.
5. Payment for the flight and booking a business jet.
6. Departure at the agreed time and date. Assistance during the whole flight.

In addition to renting the private jets and arranging the flights, we provide concierge services, premium transfer, security, exclusive catering, etc. For over 15 years of experience in business aviation, we have learned to solve problems of any complexity, offering the service of the European level. Our experts will be happy to answer your questions and help you arrange your flight.

Business aviation airports in Afghanistan

The list below is kept for reference: these are the fields the country uses, and scheduled carriers do serve several of them. None is available for a charter we would arrange, for the reasons set out at the top of this page, so nothing here can be booked as an arrival airport today. The principal fields are:

• Kabul International Airport, ICAO - OAKB, IATA - KBL;
• Kandahar International Airport, ICAO - OAKN, IATA - KDH;
• Kunduz Airport, ICAO - OAUZ, IATA - UND.

The cities that generate the traffic are Kabul, Kandahar, Herat, Mazar-i-Sharif, Jalalabad and Kunduz, and the scheduled services from our three gateways serve the first four of them. For the current position on any specific field, ask our consultants.

 

 

The wider network of Afghan airfields, again for reference rather than for booking, runs to the following:

1. Mazar-i-Sharif Airport (MZR), Mazar-i-Sharif, Afghanistan
2. Faizabad Airport (FBD), Faizabad, Afghanistan
3. Farah Airport (FAH), Farah, Afghanistan
4. Bamiyan Airport (BIN), Bamiyan, Afghanistan
5. Khost Airport (KHT), Khost, Afghanistan
6. Chaghcharan Airport (CCN), Chaghcharan, Afghanistan
7. Herat Airport (HEA), Herat, Afghanistan
8. Bost Airport (BST), Bost, Afghanistan
9. Meymene Airport (MMZ), Meymene, Afghanistan
10. Tirin Kot Airport (TII), Tirin Kot, Afghanistan
11. Zaranj Airport (ZAJ), Zaranj, Afghanistan

At the gateway airports you are handled through the business aviation terminal, where there are no queues and arriving thirty minutes before departure is enough. Dubai, Islamabad and Tashkent each have one, and our consultants can tell you which handler meets you at which.

 

Types of flights

Our company provides all types of business flights. Due to a wide variety of jets, we can arrange:

1. private flights;
2. corporate flights;
3. business class flights;
4. concert tours;
5. medical flights (with doctors and special equipment on board);
6. tourist flights for large and small groups;
7. sports charters for teams and coaching staff;
8. combined flights (partly by business jet, and partly by helicopter);
9. exclusive flights on luxury jets for businessmen, celebrities, and politicians;
10. cargo flights, etc.

A flexible approach and a wide experience allow us to solve problems of any complexity. In 90% of cases, we manage to arrange urgent flights (on the day of application). But to be sure, we recommend you send a request at least 2-5 days before the desired date of departure.

 

 

Empty Legs

Another way to fly cheaper is to use Empty Legs. This service allows you to save on regular charter rates. As you know, part of the flights is one-way (for example, when the passenger flies from England to Dubai). After the flight, the jet returns to its home base (for example, to London Farnborough airport) empty. Such flight is called “Empty Legs”. Empty leg flights can be as cheap as 50-75% off the standard charter price. This option is profitable for both the passengers and the charter companies. The clients can enjoy the services of business aviation at a very good price, while the airlines recoup part of the cost of fuel and jet maintenance.

It is almost impossible to find Empty Leg flights, as the information about them is stored in special databases available only to the aviation brokers and specialized companies. You should know that Empty Leg flights offer the same service as private jet charters. The passengers enjoy a 100% private jet flying experience. Services and flight conditions are discussed individually. We should note that our company cooperates with the world’s largest home bases, so we can offer our clients a wide choice of return flights. Just send a request to our manager who will help you find the best flight options. Please note that Empty Leg flights are sold out very quickly. To avoid such a problem, you can leave us a deposit, and we will contact you as soon as the flight of your choice becomes available. For additional information, check with the operators.

 

 

 

Jet Sharing

Today, Jet Sharing is just as popular as private jet charter. This service involves the joint rental of a business jet with other passengers (that is, the cost of the flight is divided equally between all passengers of a specific flight). This type of flight has become especially popular in the last few years. Many people like Jet Sharing because it allows you to enjoy all benefits of business aviation at favorable prices.

We should note that the number of passengers per Jet Sharing flight varies from 3 to 8, while the cost of the flight ranges from 1400 to 7100 euros (depending on the destination). This way, you can get a comfortable flight on a business jet (and maybe even meet new business partners) at a very good price. You can check out the schedule of Jet Sharing flights by filling in the online form or contacting our operators by phone or WhatsApp.

Main advantages of this service:

• All privileges of business aviation, including the use of the business aviation terminal and the check-in 30 minutes before the flight, are retained;
• You can also use the services of the VIP Lounge (included in the price of the flight);
• No baggage restrictions;
• Affordable price: jet sharing is much cheaper than private jet charter;
• Pets can be carried directly in the aircraft cabin.

 

Our consultants will be happy to help you choose the best flight.

 

 

Helicopter charter

Helicopters on this itinerary work the two ends: the British departure field, and the transfers around the gateway cities while you wait for a scheduled onward flight. These are the legs we arrange most:

 

 

Flight payment options

The main goal of our company is to provide the highest level of comfort to our customers. Therefore, we’re always ready to meet you halfway. Our consultants will offer you a wide variety of flights to meet your needs and budget. Most customers prefer a non-cash method (a transfer to an EU bank account), which guarantees a high level of confidentiality and security of payment. All payment details are provided in advance, so you’ll have enough time to make the necessary checks. For years of working in business aviation, our company has gained an impeccable reputation. We practice transparency and are always ready to present all necessary documents.

Private Jet UK works with both physical and legal entities. We guarantee the confidentiality and security of payments. You can pay for the gateway flights in any convenient way:

• cashless (by transfer to our account);
• by cash;
• by card;
• by cryptocurrency.

 

Our company works with European and British banks, which allows you to choose the most convenient payment method. In addition, we conclude formal agreements and provide our clients with all necessary documents and invoices, which guarantees the safe payment and delivery of services. If you have any financial questions, feel free to contact our private aviation consultants.

If you need to book an urgent flight, please keep in mind that the bank transfer can take a few days. In such situations, we may need to involve our partner companies so that you can pay for your flight in cash. If you have any questions, you can contact your personal consultant 24/7.
