Private jet charter to Argentina

Argentina is among the longest destinations we fly to from Britain on a regular basis: about twelve and three-quarter hours to Buenos Aires in an ultra-long-range jet, and another two to three and a half if the party carries on to the lakes or to Patagonia. Private Jets UK plans these charters from the aircraft backwards, because very few cabins in the world can cover the first leg without stopping, and the weight of the aircraft then decides which Buenos Aires airport it may use. 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. In Argentina that also means an overflight permit, a handler who files the flight plan in person, fuel ordered a day ahead and, for most journeys beyond the capital, a second, lighter aircraft based in the country.

 

 

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 Argentina 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 London Farnborough, a Gulfstream G550 to Buenos Aires Ezeiza, nonstop, 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 Argentina?

Argentina keeps one time all year, three hours behind Britain in winter and four in British Summer Time, so a morning departure lands in the evening on the local clock. These are the sectors from London Farnborough on a Gulfstream G550, gate to gate, with Mendoza on a G650ER and El Calafate on a Global 7500:

Iguazú is more than an hour shorter than Buenos Aires, and Patagonia is up to two and a half hours longer, which is why a quote for Argentina always names the airport before the aircraft. 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 Argentina

Typical private jet charter prices from Britain into Argentina, listed cheapest first. Iguazú and Salta in the north are the nearest arrivals, but the price on this page is built on Buenos Aires Ezeiza, the airport that takes any aircraft at any hour, and the table climbs with the distance and with the range of the aircraft that can fly it:

 

 

Private jet flights within Argentina and to its neighbours

Argentina is a country of long gaps. From the capital to Mendoza is 540 nautical miles, to Bariloche 747 and to Ushuaia 1,341, so the internal flight is a proper journey and not a hop. These are the sectors we are asked for, flown from San Fernando, with the neighbouring capitals that clients combine with an Argentine trip:

 

We can arrange the flights from any cities in the UK (England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland) and European countries. Due to a large database of available business jets, we can help you find an optimal jet and crew. 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:

 

 

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 contains over 6,500 business jets (about 3,500 in Europe and 3,000 in the rest of the world) of different configurations and production years. The list of models is constantly updated. Unfortunately, we can't post a full list of available jets on our website due to confidentiality issues. Please contact the managers of the company for more accurate information. We will help you choose a suitable model taking into account your wishes. These are the typical choices for Argentina:

 

 

Because the long-range jet is too heavy for San Fernando and rarely suits a short internal leg, the quote for a trip around Argentina often names Buenos Aires, Córdoba or Rosario as the place where the second aircraft starts from.

Business aviation airports in Argentina

Argentina has one airport that takes everything and a business aviation field that takes almost nothing from Britain. Between them the fields differ by weight limit, by language on the radio and by who may clear customs, which matter more than the runways:

 

Five rules settle most Argentine arrivals before a quote goes out:

 

Arriving from Britain: passports, customs and what to carry

Argentina is outside the European Union and outside Schengen, and the entry rules for a British citizen are short. The border is dealt with at the first Argentine airport you land at, which is why that airport has to be a customs one.

 

 

Which airport for which part of Argentina

The arrival airport follows from one address: the hotel in Recoleta, the bodega in the Uco Valley, the lodge above Lake Nahuel Huapi. These are the usual pairings:

 

Buenos Aires, the wine country and Patagonia: what our clients go for

Buenos Aires is where the business is. The city proper has 3.1 million residents and the metropolitan area about 16 million, and the districts clients ask for are Puerto Madero on reclaimed land along the river, Recoleta and Palermo. Most of those trips are meetings of two or three days, with the aircraft held at Ezeiza or sent home empty.

Polo draws the other half. The Argentine Open is played each November on the polo fields of Las Cañitas, beside the Palermo racecourse, and Palermo is described as the polo capital of the world. From there the estancias of San Antonio de Areco, 113 km from the city, are the usual weekend: gaucho tradition, horses and a long lunch, with the Day of Tradition festival held in November.

Mendoza produces more than 60 percent of Argentine wine, and its best-rated Malbecs come from Luján de Cuyo and the Uco Valley, which sits at between 850 and 1,520 metres. Cafayate, near Salta, is higher still at about 1,660 metres.

Patagonia is the reason for the longest charters. From El Calafate the Perito Moreno Glacier is 78 km away, with walkways at the visitor centre, boat tours on Lake Argentino and ice trekking of an hour and a half or five hours. Bariloche has Lake Nahuel Huapi and the Llao Llao Hotel, designed by Alejandro Bustillo, and Cerro Catedral, 19 km from town, with 39 lifts and 48 km of runs. Ushuaia is the Beagle Channel, Tierra del Fuego National Park and the departure port for Antarctic cruises.

Iguazú is for people who have a week. The Argentine side holds nearly 80 percent of the falls, with 275 drops in all, and the Devil's Throat is 80 to 90 metres wide and 70 to 80 metres deep. The Brazilian airport at Foz do Iguaçu is a separate border crossing.

 

The Argentine year: when the country opens and when it empties

Argentina has summer in the months when Britain has winter, and two peaks of its own. Buenos Aires works all year, while Patagonia and the ski resorts keep a shorter calendar:

 

The Argentine calendar: polo, vendimia and the ski season

The dated events are few, and each pulls on a different airport:

 

 

Flying to Argentina with a dog or a cat

A dog or cat travelling with its owner is one of the simpler cases on this site, as the barrier is the certificate and not a quarantine. The Argentine animal health service, SENASA, checks the papers and the animal on arrival, and the inspection is free for an animal travelling with its owner, in the cabin or in the hold.

• A rabies vaccination that is valid on entry; for a first vaccination it must be given at least 21 days before arrival;
• An ISO-standard microchip, fitted before the rabies vaccination and never after it, which the return to Britain also requires;
• Deworming against internal and external parasites with an approved product within 15 days before the certificate is issued;
• No more than five animals per traveller on the way back, and more than that, or an animal travelling without its owner, is treated as a commercial consignment.

A pet bird is a different matter. The British certificate for birds requires at least 28 days of isolation at the owner's home, with laboratory tests for avian influenza and Newcastle disease, which is a plan of two months and not two weeks. We tell the handler in advance and confirm in writing how the animal will be received at the airport.

Requirements for rabbits, reptiles and the less usual species, along with the countries where the timeline runs to months, are set out 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. On the Argentine run there are fewer than on a busy European corridor, because few aircraft make the crossing, but each one is a long and valuable sector.

A client who can offer a window of several weeks has a far better chance of a match, though the operator owns the date and a leg can disappear when the original booking changes. Whatever is free is listed on our empty legs page. A selection of Argentine empty legs follows:

 

 

 

Helicopter charter

Helicopters in Argentina do short, specific jobs: the estancia from the capital, the glacier from the lake, the slopes from the town. These are the transfers clients ask for, with times estimated from the published distance:

The times are straight-line estimates at a cruise of about 115 knots from the distance by road, so the real route can be shorter, and the operator confirms it for your date. Weather, wind and the load decide the rest.

 

 

Flights from the UK to Argentina

Farnborough, Biggin Hill, Luton and Stansted send most of the traffic on this corridor, with Southampton, Bristol and Manchester behind them and Scotland 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.
