Private jet charter to Belarus

A light jet leaves a London airfield and reaches the Baltic in under three hours, yet Belarus is one of the few countries on the map where the distance tells you nothing about the booking. Private flights to Belarus are not operated by UK operators while the airspace restrictions remain, and the Foreign Office advises against all travel to the country. Private Jets UK therefore says plainly what can be done and prices the part that can be flown. 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. The workable plans are described below, and the price on this page is for the flight to Vilnius.

 

private jet charter

 

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 to Belarus 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 City, a Cessna Citation CJ3+ and two passengers aboard, flying to Vilnius, the main gateway we price for Belarus. A direct flight into Belarus is not included in this price. 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 reach Belarus?

The flying ends at a Baltic or Polish airport, and the time in the air is the short part of the day. A light jet needs about 2 hours 40 minutes from London City or Biggin Hill to Vilnius, and no British departure in the price table below is longer than about 3 hours. Belarus keeps the same clock all year at UTC+3, which is two hours ahead of Britain in summer and three in winter.

London City - Vilnius, Citation CJ3+
961 nautical miles, nonstop
about 2 h 40 min
London City - Warsaw, Citation CJ3+
805 nautical miles, nonstop
about 2 h 20 min
Vilnius to the capital by road
34 km on the A3 and 139 km on the M7, with the border in between
about 2 hours of driving

Door to door: the flight is the easy part

Leave a London airfield at seven in the morning and a light jet lands in Vilnius a little before noon local time. The drive to the Belarusian capital is about 173 km, roughly two hours before any time at the frontier, so a same-day return is the exception and we plan an overnight in the gateway city.

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.

The cheapest row, from London City in a Citation CJ3+, sets the starting price of £12,950. Biggin Hill costs £50 more on the same aircraft, and the premium for Scotland and the north of England comes from the larger cabins we use there. Every figure is built like a personal quote: aircraft, distance with a routing allowance and flying time.

 

Three gateways compared

The figures are for the same light jet from London City.

Gateway Towards Belarus Price, one way
London City - Vilnius
961 nm · about 2 h 40 min
About 173 km by road to the capital, via the Medininkai crossing. The nearest gateway to the capital and to the north-west from £12,950
London City - Warsaw
805 nm · about 2 h 20 min
About 203 km by road to Brest. The gateway for the south-west, a long drive to anywhere else from £11,100
London City - Riga
931 nm · about 2 h 35 min
Only one Latvian crossing is listed as open, and the drive is far longer. Useful for a Baltic programme from £12,600

 

Why Vilnius comes first

Warsaw is priced £1,850 lower than Vilnius and Riga £350 lower on the same aircraft, and the saving rarely survives the ground leg. From Vilnius the frontier is 34 km from the city. From Warsaw or Riga the passenger spends most of a day on the road to the capital. Vilnius has a single runway of 2,515 m about 6 km from the city, with customs, immigration, handling and fuel listed as available round the clock and a VIP terminal for private passengers. Warsaw Chopin is an airport of entry open round the clock, with slots required, handling mandatory and no ad hoc flights between 23:30 and 05:30. Riga has a runway of 3,200 m, slots and two business aviation handlers. Lithuania, Poland and Latvia are in Schengen and Britain is not, so the border is cleared at the gateway.

Before you accept a quote

– Who the handler at the gateway is, and that the permission request has been made. Vilnius asks for general aviation permission at least 24 hours ahead;

– Who arranges and pays for the car and driver on the road leg, and what happens if the crossing is closed on your date;

– What happens if the plan cannot be completed: the return routing, the crew hotel and the cancellation terms. A quote that is silent on these three points is not yet a quote.

 

Private jet flights within Belarus and to its neighbours

We do not arrange private jet flights between Belarusian airports, or into them from Britain, and no table on this page pretends otherwise. What clients ask for around the country is the programme at its edges: the short hops between the Baltic capitals and Warsaw, where a Belarus visit is one stop among several.

The Baltic hops are best flown in a turboprop or a light jet, and none of them crosses the Belarusian border: each sector runs between airports of the European Union, so the passengers are processed like any other arrival and nothing in the quote depends on Belarusian permissions.

 

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:

Turbopropsfrom £850/h
Small jet£1,700 - 2,500/h
Light jet£2,100 - 3,000/h

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 the flight to the gateway:

Light jets, the usual choice for four or five people

At about two and a half hours from London this is a comfortable sector for a small party with ordinary luggage.

HondaJet Elite · 5 seatsfrom £1,900/h
Cessna Citation CJ3+ · 7 seatsfrom £2,400/h
Embraer Phenom 300E · 8 seatsfrom £2,600/h
Cessna Citation CJ4 Gen2 · 8 seatsfrom £2,700/h

Midsize, for a delegation with luggage

The hold fills faster than the seats on a business trip with samples, laptops and presentation material, and a midsize cabin gives room to work on the way.

Learjet 75 Liberty · 8 seatsfrom £3,000/h
Cessna Citation XLS+ · 9 seatsfrom £3,100/h
Cessna Citation Latitude · 9 seatsfrom £3,900/h
Embraer Praetor 600 · 9 seatsfrom £3,400/h

Super-midsize and large

For a team that wants to work in the air or a group travelling as one party. Vilnius and Warsaw runways take all of these.

Bombardier Challenger 350 · 9 seatsfrom £4,000/h
Bombardier Challenger 605 · 12 seatsfrom £4,350/h
Dassault Falcon 2000LXS · 10 seatsfrom £4,900/h
Gulfstream G450 · 13 seatsfrom £5,800/h

Turboprops

The right aircraft for short hops between the Baltic capitals and Warsaw. For the flight from Britain a jet is the sensible choice.

Pilatus PC-12 NGX · 9 seatsfrom £1,400/h
Beechcraft King Air 350 · 9 seatsfrom £1,650/h

Airports in Belarus and the gateways beside it

What is published about Belarusian airports is thin. The table covers the six that the Belarusian foreign ministry lists for visa-free entry by air, plus the old city airfield that still turns up on charter listings, and it says so where there is nothing to give. Only the national airport of the capital has a business aviation centre that we can point to, and none of them is an airport where we can place an aircraft from Britain while the airspace restrictions remain.

Airport What is published
National airport of the capital
MSQ / UMMS
The only airport of the capital that takes international traffic, about 42 km east of the city centre, with two parallel runways of 3,641 m and 3,700 m (13R/31L and 13L/31R). A business aviation centre with a hangar complex of more than 4,000 square metres and a passenger terminal has been built on the airfield. Private flights from the UK are not operated to it while the airspace restrictions remain
The old city airfield
MHP / UMMM
Still named on older listings and some charter websites, but closed, its buildings demolished and the land redeveloped. No business jet can land there, and a quote that names it should be questioned
Brest
BQT / UMBB
On the Polish frontier, about 15 km east of the city, with an asphalt runway 11/29 of 2,620 m. Listed as open round the clock. Nothing is published about handling for visiting business aircraft
Grodno
GNA / UMMG
The airport of the north-west, with a concrete runway 17/35 of 2,548 m. No information on business aviation services is published. It is the nearest Belarusian city airport to Vilnius, about 146 km in a straight line
Gomel
GME / UMGG
About 3 km north-east of the city in the south-east, with an asphalt runway 11/29 of 2,570 m. No business aviation arrangements are published
Vitebsk Vostochny
VTB / UMII
About 12 km south-east of the city in the north-east, with a concrete runway 06/24 of 2,606 m. No business aviation services are published
Mogilev
MVQ / UMOO
About 17 km from the city, with an asphalt-concrete runway of 2,566 m. It is run as a branch of the national airport

Ways to get to Belarus

Private flights to Belarus are not operated by UK operators while the airspace restrictions remain, and the Foreign Office states that there are no direct flights between Belarus and the UK. We therefore do not sell a direct charter and do not publish a Belarus price. Two routes work in practice, and the traveller chooses between them.

  • A private flight to a neighbouring country, then the road. Vilnius is the gateway we price: about 2 hours 40 minutes in the air from London City or Biggin Hill, then about 173 km by road to the capital. Warsaw suits the south-west, with about 203 km by road to Brest. Riga also works, with a much longer drive;
  • A private flight to a city with scheduled airline service to the national airport, then a ticket on that airline. Services are listed from Istanbul, Dubai, Baku, Yerevan, Tbilisi, Almaty and Tashkent. Timetables change and some services are seasonal, so check the dates before you plan around one.

The traveller books the airline ticket directly; we do not sell scheduled tickets. What we arrange is the private flight from Britain to the gateway or the connecting city, with handling and a car at the other end. Either plan goes against the Foreign Office advice, and that decision belongs to the traveller.

 

Entering Belarus as a British passport holder

The Foreign Office advises against all travel to Belarus. The rules below describe what it publishes for those who travel anyway. They are not encouragement, and they apply to each traveller whatever the route.

Visa
British ordinary passport holders can stay up to 30 days per visit and 90 days in a calendar year without a visa. The arrangement carries an end date, which we check at every enquiry
30 days per visit
Passport
Valid for at least 3 months from arrival; the foreign ministry of Belarus lists 90 days beyond departure, so hold the longer margin
3 months minimum
Medical insurance
Evidence of insurance valid in Belarus, to the value of about £8,500. Check that the policy covers a country the Foreign Office advises against
about £8,500
Funds
Proof of funds, in cash, by card or in travellers cheques
about £21 a day
Cash
A declaration stamped by customs for cash or travellers cheques above the equivalent of about £7,500, kept for the departure
declare on entry

What the Foreign Office says about safety

The advice is against all travel. Belarus does not recognise dual nationality, and a dual national is treated as Belarusian even on a British passport. The Foreign Office warns of a significant risk of arrest, questioning or detention over political activity related to Belarus, and says that laws can be applied retroactively. Security forces may require travellers to unlock their phones and may seize devices, including at the border. Photographing police, military personnel or strategic locations is illegal. If a conflict starts, the ability of the Foreign Office to support British nationals would be limited.

At the gateway the rules are the Schengen ones: up to 90 days in any 180 without a visa for British citizens, a passport issued less than ten years before arrival and valid for three months after departure, and a photo and fingerprints that may be taken under the EU Entry/Exit System. For the way home the operator files a General Aviation Report with UK customs between 48 and 2 hours before departure, and passengers who are not British or Irish citizens may need a UK Electronic Travel Authorisation.

From the gateways by road

The road is where the uncertainty sits. The figures below describe distances that are published. The status of each crossing has to be checked for your date, and the Foreign Office lists the following as open: Medininkai - Kamenny Log and Salcininkai - Benyakoni on the Lithuanian side; Brest - Terespol, Kuznica - Bruzgi (passenger cars only) and Bobrovniki - Bierastavitsa on the Polish side; and Paternieki - Grigorovshchina on the Latvian side.

Vilnius to the Medininkai crossing
the A3 runs 34 km from the city to the Belarusian frontier
typically 30 minutes
Medininkai to the capital
the M7 runs 139 km from the Belarusian side of the crossing to the city
about 1.5 hours
Whole transfer, Vilnius to the capital
about 173 km, with the border on top
about 2 hours of driving
Vilnius to the capital through Latvia
about 560 km by way of the Paternieki crossing
about 7.5 hours of driving
Vilnius to the capital through Poland
about 900 km by way of the Brest - Terespol crossing
at least 10 hours
Warsaw to Brest
about 203 km before the Terespol crossing
about 2 h 15 min
Vilnius to Brest
about 355 km by road
about 5 h 20 min

 

Before you plan around the road

The crossings have changed status more than once, and a same-day return depends on a crossing being open and quick in both directions. The Foreign Office notes that the Lithuanian and Polish borders could close again at short notice. We check the crossing for your date before a car is booked, plan an overnight at the gateway unless the dates look safe, and do not give a crossing time as a promise.

 

Which gateway for which part of Belarus

A Belarus enquiry is settled by an address, and the address decides the gateway. These are the pairings we use when we plan the flight to the border:

The capital and the centre
the city itself and the districts around it
Vilnius
Grodno and the north-west
the nearest Belarusian city to Vilnius, about 146 km from Vilnius airport in a straight line; the road length is agreed at quote
Vilnius
Brest and the south-west
on the Polish frontier opposite Terespol, about 203 km by road from Warsaw
Warsaw
Vitebsk, Mogilev and Gomel
between about 330 and 460 km from Vilnius in a straight line, with a longer road
Vilnius, a long road

 

The Foreign Office names areas of higher risk and restricted military areas, and we do not plan routes through them.

 

Flying to the gateway with a dog or a cat

For a pet the paperwork needs the planning, and the flight is the easy part: the animal sits in the cabin beside you. The health certificate is valid for only ten days for entry to the EU, and that is the date that goes wrong.

What the EU country at the gateway asks for when a pet arrives from Britain:

  • An ISO microchip, fitted before the rabies vaccination or at the same time;
  • A rabies vaccination given when the animal was at least 12 weeks old, with 21 days elapsed after the first vaccination before the animal travels;
  • An Animal Health Certificate for each trip, valid for ten days for entry to the EU. A British pet passport cannot be used to enter the EU;
  • A declaration by the owner that the move is not commercial, and no more than five animals per traveller. The animal enters through a travellers' point of entry designated by the country;
  • For dogs, a tapeworm treatment from a vet between 24 and 120 hours before arrival back in Britain, recorded on the paperwork. Cats are exempt.

A pet and the Belarusian border

Belarus sets its own veterinary conditions for animals that enter by road, and we have not verified them. If a pet is part of the plan we confirm those conditions in writing before booking. The return to Britain also depends on the country the animal travels from: the rules for countries that are not on the list of listed countries for Britain are stricter and include a blood test, so the return route is checked as carefully as the outward one.

Requirements for cats, ferrets, birds and anything less usual are collected on our flying with pets guide. For the entry point and the paperwork on the way home, we confirm both in writing before the flight.

 

private flight with animals

 

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 the Baltic). 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.

We do not list empty legs into Belarus. Legs between Britain and the Baltic gateways do appear, when an aircraft that has taken a party to Vilnius, Riga or Warsaw flies home unoccupied. Those legs depend on other people's bookings, so a client who can name a few days has a far better chance than one who needs a particular evening, and a leg can vanish when the original booking moves.

Flights from the UK to Belarus and its gateways

Biggin Hill, London City, Luton and Farnborough send most of the traffic on the corridor to Lithuania, with Southampton, Birmingham 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.

Belarus enquiries from the booking notes: six typical cases

What the corridor looks like once an enquiry turns into a plan. Six typical jobs of the kind that come through our booking notes, described in outline, with the particulars changed.

DIRECT FLIGHT ASKED FOR

A direct flight asked for, a different plan offered

London City - Vilnius, Citation CJ3+, about 2 h 40 min · 4 pax

The client asked for a nonstop flight to the capital and a price by the end of the day. We explained that UK operators do not fly private charters there while the airspace restrictions remain, and offered Vilnius with a car instead.

MEETING MOVED · VILNIUS

A supplier meeting that did not need Belarus

Biggin Hill - Vilnius, Citation CJ3+, about 2 h 40 min · 3 pax

The other side agreed to meet in Vilnius once they were told what the Belarusian leg would involve. The trip became an ordinary one-night business visit to a Schengen capital, with no border to cross.

SOUTH-WEST · WARSAW

A family matter near Brest

Farnborough - Warsaw, Phenom 300E, about 2 h 15 min · 5 pax

The address was close to the Polish frontier, so Warsaw was the gateway and Vilnius would have added a day on the road. After reading the Foreign Office advice with us, the client decided to wait.

DOCUMENTS · BEFORE THE BOOKING

A traveller asks what the entry rules are

Advice call, no flight booked yet

The client asked about visa-free entry, insurance and the 30-day limit. We gave the published rules and the Foreign Office advice against all travel, and the meeting was held elsewhere.

A DOG ON BOARD · BALTIC

Two adults and a spaniel for a Vilnius weekend

Southampton - Vilnius, Citation XLS+, about 2 h 45 min · 2 pax + dog

The Animal Health Certificate had to be dated inside ten days of arrival, and the vet appointment for the tapeworm treatment had to fall between 24 and 120 hours before the flight home. We booked both with the aircraft, and the trip stayed on the EU side.

EMPTY LEG · BALTIC TO BRITAIN

A jet already going your way

Vilnius - London Luton, Phenom 300E empty leg, about 2 h 30 min · 3 pax

The aircraft had brought a party to Vilnius for the weekend and was flying home empty. The client gave us a three-day window instead of a date, which is what makes these work, and paid well below a fresh one-way charter.

 

Frequently asked questions about flying to Belarus

1Can a private jet fly directly from London to Belarus?

Private flights to Belarus are not operated by UK operators while the airspace restrictions remain, and the Foreign Office states that there are no direct flights between Belarus and the UK. The practical options are a private flight to Vilnius with a road transfer of about 173 km to the capital, or a private flight to a city such as Istanbul or Dubai and a scheduled airline ticket that you book yourself. We do not sell the airline tickets.

2What is the Foreign Office advice for Belarus?

The Foreign Office advises against all travel to Belarus. It warns of a significant risk of arrest or detention over political activity, says that Belarus does not recognise dual nationality, and notes that its ability to support British nationals would be limited if a conflict started.

3How long and how much is a private jet from London to Vilnius for Belarus?

About 2 hours 40 minutes from London City or Biggin Hill in a light jet, covering roughly 961 nautical miles, and from £12,950 one way. A Phenom from Luton or Farnborough costs £13,000 to £13,350, and from Scotland allow £20,850 to £21,500 in a larger aircraft. The road onward is quoted separately.

4Which gateway is best for Belarus, Vilnius, Warsaw or Riga?

Vilnius is the nearest to the capital and to Grodno, with about 173 km of road to the capital. Warsaw is priced £1,850 lower on the same aircraft and suits Brest, about 203 km away by road. Riga is priced £350 lower but the drive is much longer.

5Do British citizens need a visa for Belarus?

The Foreign Office states that British ordinary passport holders can stay up to 30 days per visit, with a limit of 90 days in a calendar year, without a visa, and that the arrangement carries an end date. Travellers need a passport valid for at least 3 months from arrival, medical insurance valid in Belarus with cover of about £8,500, and proof of funds, and the Foreign Office advises against all travel to Belarus.

6Can I take my dog to Belarus on a private jet?

The dog can fly in the cabin to Vilnius or Warsaw with a microchip, a rabies vaccination at 12 weeks or older and at least 21 days old, and an Animal Health Certificate valid for ten days for entry to the EU. Belarus sets its own veterinary conditions for animals entering by road, which we confirm in writing before booking. The way home needs the tapeworm treatment for dogs.
