Private jet charter in Angola

A flight from Britain to Luanda takes about nine hours, which sits close to the limit of a super-midsize jet, so the choice of aircraft comes before the choice of date. Our customers have access to 6,500 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. We have established partnerships with the world's largest airlines and VIP terminals, which means we can offer you favourable 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. For Angola that means a landing permit requested through a local agent, a handler named before the aircraft leaves Britain, the right visa for every passenger and a straight answer on which Luanda airfield the aircraft will use.

 

 

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 in Angola 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).

 

 

Please note that the above-mentioned price is indicative only. It is calculated on this basis: a departure from Biggin Hill, an Embraer Praetor 600 flying nonstop to Luanda Dr. Antonio Agostinho Neto International and two passengers aboard. If you want to get a personal quote, just fill out the online booking form below. Our aviation consultant will make the calculation within 20 minutes, and then contact you to specify the details of the flight.

 

How long does it take to fly to Angola?

Angola keeps West Africa Time, one hour ahead of Greenwich all year and without daylight saving, so the clocks agree with Britain's in summer and Luanda is an hour ahead in winter. A Biggin Hill departure at eight in the morning, London time, lands after about nine hours of flying, in the early evening. These are the sectors to Luanda on a Praetor 600, gate to gate, from the fields our clients use most:

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 Angola

Typical private jet charter prices from Britain to Luanda, listed cheapest first. Every row is a nonstop Praetor 600, the smallest aircraft we price for this run without a fuel stop. London City is left out on purpose, because its short runway is a poor start for a sector of this length:

 

 

Luanda is the anchor because it is where the offices, the embassies and the handlers are. The same departure to the other Angolan airports that take a business jet costs this, with the Praetor kept where it can reach and a Global 6000 used where it cannot:

 

 

Private jet flights within Angola and to its neighbours

A typical Angolan trip is a hub and spoke: the jet from Britain lands near Luanda, and the party works in the capital with at most one flight out to a provincial airfield. The sectors below start at Luanda and include the neighbouring capitals and the regional hub of Johannesburg:

 

 

We can arrange the flights from any cities in the UK (England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland) and European countries.

Business aviation airports in Angola

Angola has long runways and thin services, so the useful question about each airport is what it can actually do for a business jet. Luanda is the gateway, and for Luanda the answer has changed once already:

 

Until the airlines moved out, the old Quatro de Fevereiro airport was where a business jet went, and two executive terminals were built there: VIPAero, a VIP terminal with its own customs and immigration, and Best Fly, a handler with lounges of its own. The published material does not say where a visiting business aircraft is handled now, and we do not guess: we ask the agent for the field, the terminal and the customs arrangement in writing before a quote becomes a booking.

The distance matters more than it looks on a map. The new airport is some 40 kilometres from the city centre, so the field decides whether a meeting at the ministry is a short ride or a long one. We book chauffeured cars through the handler or the hotel, because handlers in Luanda advise against street taxis.

Four points settle most Angolan arrivals before a quote goes out:

 

Arriving from Britain: passports, visas and customs

Angola is far outside Europe's travel areas, and the British government's entry rules decide whether a passenger passes through in minutes or is held at the desk:

Coming home is a flight into Britain. A General Aviation Report goes to the border authorities not earlier than 48 hours and not later than two hours before departure, and British and Irish citizens need no electronic travel authorisation. Most other nationalities do.

 

 

Which airport for which part of Angola

Angola is large, the roads are slow and the airfields are few. What matters is where the party sleeps and where the work is:

 

Luanda, the coast and the highlands: what our clients go for

Oil comes first. Luanda is the economic centre of the oil industry, with a refinery in the city and the deposits offshore, and many visits are made by executives, contractors and lenders who need a short stay in the capital and the same aircraft home. A private jet keeps a timetable the airlines cannot give on a route with few frequencies.

Trade is the second reason. The Luanda International Fair, FILDA, is held in July and brings buyers and exhibitors to the capital for a week. Travel is the third, and a small one: the Fortaleza de Sao Miguel, founded in 1576 and now the national museum of military history, and the Kalandula Falls draw those who want something beyond the oil fields.

The kwanza is the currency, and Portuguese is the working language of every desk, so we ask the handler for a meeter who speaks both languages and for the exchange arrangements.

 

The Angolan year: a dry coast and a rainy summer

Luanda has a hot semi-desert climate, because the cold Benguela Current keeps the coast dry. The temperature changes less than the rain does:

 

The Angolan calendar: Carnival, the fair and the national days

A handful of dates fill the hotels of Luanda, and some follow the church calendar, so the date is checked for the year of travel:

 

 

Flying to Angola with a dog or a cat

The cabin is not the problem. The paperwork is. Angola asks for an import permit before the animal travels, and Britain does not appear to treat Angola as a listed country, so an animal coming home needs a rabies blood test planned months before the flight.

• A microchip, fitted before the rabies vaccination, as the return to Britain requires;
• The Angolan import permit and the British export health certificate, completed by an Official Veterinarian, with the vaccination record attached;
• For the return, a rabies blood test, because Angola is not on the simple-route list as we understand it, and a Great Britain pet health certificate; GOV.UK counts three months from the date of the blood sample before an animal from a non-listed country may travel to Britain;
• For dogs only, a tapeworm treatment from a vet between 24 and 120 hours before arrival in Britain. A cat needs no treatment.

GOV.UK does not say how the approved-route rule applies to a private aircraft, so we confirm the entry point and the paperwork in writing before the flight. An animal that does not meet the rules can be placed in quarantine for up to four months at the owner's expense. Requirements for ferrets, birds and anything less usual are collected on our flying with pets guide.

 

 

Empty Legs

An empty leg is a repositioning flight with nobody aboard, offered at a fraction of the usual price. The sector to Angola is so long that many trips are one-way by nature: a team flies out for a contract meeting, stays several days and the aircraft comes home or moves on.

A client who can offer a few days has a far better chance of a match, though a leg can disappear when the original booking changes. Whatever is free is listed on our empty legs page. Typical Angolan empty legs:

 

 

 

Helicopter charter

A helicopter in Angola is a tool for the edges of a trip, arranged case by case. We do not publish a standing helicopter service for the country, because the machine, the crew and the permission for each landing site come from local operators and the Angolan authorities and are confirmed for the date. The most useful job is the road between the new Luanda airport and the city. The times below are straight-line planning estimates:

Typical machines are the Airbus H125 and H135 and the Bell 429. We book a helicopter alongside the jet, so the whole itinerary is quoted as one.

 

 

Flights from the UK to Angola

Biggin Hill, Farnborough, Stansted and Luton send most of the traffic on this corridor, with Exeter, Birmingham and Manchester behind them and Scotland and Northern Ireland at the long end; the price table higher up covers thirteen of those pairings. Our clients have access to all airports of the UK and Europe. Due to the unique partnership conditions, we can offer our clients the best prices for business aviation services. Our experts will consult you on the availability of private jets in a particular city and help you choose the best option.
