Private jet charter in Bermuda

Bermuda lies about 3,088 nautical miles from a London airfield, a small island alone in the western Atlantic with no neighbour closer than the Carolina coast, and a charter there is built around that emptiness. Private Jets UK plans these trips by working out first whether the party wants one long non-stop hop or a fuel stop on the way, and only then turns to the hotel. 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 Bermuda that means one airport, one handler on the apron, a taxi or a hotel car for the last stretch, and a flight plan that leaves enough fuel to get somewhere else if the weather closes the runway.

 

 

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 Bermuda 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 Farnborough, an Embraer Praetor 600 flying non-stop to L.F. Wade International Airport in Bermuda, 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 Bermuda?

Seven and a half hours westbound in a Praetor 600 or a Challenger 605, a little under seven in a Global 6000, and noticeably less on the way home. The Embraer Praetor 600 behind our entry price is published at about 4,000 nautical miles with four passengers, so the 3,088 nautical miles from Farnborough sit comfortably inside its range on paper. A winter headwind is what can change the plan, and when the forecast is hard the crew adds a stop at Santa Maria in the Azores, 1,429 nautical miles out of Biggin Hill and 2,035 on to Bermuda. Bermuda keeps Atlantic time, four hours behind Britain for most of the year and three hours behind for a few weeks in March and again from late October to early November, when the two countries change their clocks on different dates. The figures below are westbound, gate to gate, against the usual wind:

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 Bermuda

Typical private jet charter prices from Britain to Bermuda, listed cheapest first. Every row is a non-stop flight, and the aircraft class decides the price here far more than the departure airfield does, because the whole route is open ocean and the hourly rate of the jet is almost the entire bill:

 

 

Private jet flights within Bermuda and to its neighbours

There is nothing to fly inside Bermuda: the territory is about 21 square miles with a single airport, so the sectors that matter are the ones that leave it, to the American East Coast, Atlantic Canada and the Bahamas, and the long leg back across the ocean. These are the flights we are asked for once a party is already on the island:

 

 

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 Bermuda:

 

 

Because the island has one airport and the crossing is long, we usually name two things in the quote: the aircraft that brings you from Britain, and what it does next. It can wait on the apron for a short stay, go home empty, or fly on to the American East Coast to collect another client, and each of those choices changes the price.

Business aviation airports in Bermuda

Bermuda has one airport, and that settles most questions before they are asked. There is no choice of field, no second runway to switch to and no neighbouring country a short hop away, so the work is in the apron, the hours and the alternates. Beside the island's own airport, the table lists the places a crew looks at when it plans the legs on either side:

 

Four points settle most arrivals before a quote goes out:

 

Arriving from Britain: passports, customs and what to carry

Bermuda is a British Overseas Territory with its own immigration and customs service, and it is outside the British customs territory. A private flight from London therefore arrives as an international flight, and everyone aboard clears at the FBO on the day.

 

 

Getting from the apron to the hotel

With one airport there is no question of which field to choose, only of how far the last stretch is. Visitors cannot hire an ordinary car, taxis are the standard way to move, and the speed limit on most roads is 35 km/h, so the island rewards a driver who is booked in advance. These are the usual pairings:

 

Bermuda: what our clients go for

Business comes first, and it explains why a territory of about 64,000 people has a business aviation terminal with a conference room. Bermuda is one of the world's centres of insurance and reinsurance, Hamilton is where the business is done, and boards and visiting executives arrive for a day or two of meetings. The aircraft either waits on the apron or goes home empty and returns to collect them.

Leisure comes second and is mostly American by origin, since US visitors make up about 85 percent of tourists. Pink-sand beaches such as Horseshoe Bay, a string of south-shore resort hotels, golf and a mild winter explain the rest. A London charter is therefore usually one of three things: a board or client trip, a family stay, or a sporting weekend built round an event.

Sailing is the third reason. The Newport Bermuda Race, which ends at the Royal Bermuda Yacht Club in Hamilton after about 635 nautical miles of open water, is held every second year in June. Owners and crews fly in for the finish and out again afterwards.

Bermuda is English-speaking, has nine parishes, a bicameral legislature and Hamilton as its capital, and its currency is the Bermuda dollar.

 

The year in Bermuda: mild winters, a busy summer and hurricane months

The year divides by temperature, by the calendar of events and by the Atlantic storm season:

 

The Bermuda calendar: kites, a yacht race and Cup Match

Bermuda's year runs on public holidays and sporting weekends, and each of them fills the hotels and the apron at the same time:

 

 

Flying to Bermuda with a dog or a cat

A dog or cat travels in the cabin, but Bermuda is strict about paperwork and has its own rules on top of the British ones. An import permit comes first, and every other step is timed against it.

• A microchip that a standard reader can find, with its number on every document;
• A health certificate from a licensed vet, issued within 10 days before arrival, giving the animal's name, date of birth, breed, description and microchip number, the owner's details and the Bermuda address, and stating that the animal has no communicable disease and is free of external parasites;
• A vet's statement that an acaricide with residual action against ticks was applied at the examination. Only certain products qualify, and we check the department's list before the appointment;
• A statement about foot and mouth disease, which concerns whether the animal has been kept near an outbreak in the previous 30 days;
• Breed lists to check at booking: several breeds and their crosses are prohibited, others are restricted, and rare or exotic breeds may be refused even if they are not on a list;
• Entry through L.F. Wade International, which is the only airport;
• For a dog, the tapeworm treatment described above. On a short trip of under five days the treatment can be given before leaving Britain, provided at least 24 hours have passed and the landing is within 120 hours.

The general rule excludes animals under 10 months, and whether the exemption for flights from the UK covers a puppy or a kitten is something we confirm with the department in writing. Birds, reptiles and the less usual species may follow separate rules, and we tell the handler in advance and confirm in writing the airport and the paperwork for the animal.

Requirements for birds, rabbits 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. Bermuda produces them in both directions, because a visit is mostly one-way work for the aircraft: it brings a party across the water and has to go somewhere else to find its next client.

A client who can give a window of a few days 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 Bermuda empty legs follows:

 

 

 

Helicopter charter and air tours

Bermuda is a poor place to look for a helicopter. We could not find a helicopter charter operator based on the island, and none appears among the services the handler lists, so we do not promise one. For the distances involved a helicopter would also add little: the island is about 21 square miles, the airport is 20 to 30 minutes from Hamilton by taxi, and the speed limit on most roads is 35 km/h.

An aerial view of the island is available by light aircraft instead. Blue Sky Flights has offered sightseeing tours in a single-engine Cessna 172 for up to three passengers, with routes that can be tailored to the old forts, the golf courses or the pink-sand beaches, booked through Longtail Aviation. We confirm whether it is flying on your dates before we mention it to a client.
