Private jet charter in Bolivia

Bolivia has no coastline, yet the first obstacle for a private jet leaving London is an ocean: about 5,500 nautical miles of it lie between Britain and Santa Cruz. That distance chooses the aircraft before the guest list does, and the altitude of the Andean airports then decides how the rest of the journey is built. 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 Bolivia that also means a landing permit and an overflight permit from the civil aviation authority, and for La Paz a high-altitude performance chart that shows what the aircraft can lift from a runway at 4,061 metres.

 

 

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 Bolivia 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 Santa Cruz Viru Viru, 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 Bolivia?

Bolivia keeps UTC-4 all year and never changes its clocks, so La Paz is four hours behind Britain in winter and five hours behind while British Summer Time runs. These are the sectors from London Farnborough on a Gulfstream G550, gate to gate:

Tarija is 254 nautical miles farther than Santa Cruz, which is about 30 min in the air and £6,950 on the quote, so a Bolivian price 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 Bolivia

Typical private jet charter prices from Britain into Bolivia, cheapest first. The price on this page is built on Santa Cruz Viru Viru, the nearest of the major airports and the one where a heavy jet performs normally. The table climbs with the distance and with the range of the aircraft that can fly it:

 

 

Private jet flights within Bolivia and to its neighbours

Bolivia is a country of altitude bands: the Altiplano above 3,600 metres, the valleys of the centre and south, and the eastern lowlands. Road journeys between them are long, so the aircraft earns its keep inside the country. Santa Cruz to La Paz is 310 nautical miles on our track and Santa Cruz to Sucre is 156. These are the sectors we are asked for, flown from Santa Cruz, with the neighbouring capitals that clients combine with a Bolivian 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:

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 Bolivia:

 

 

Because a long-range jet is expensive by the hour and heavy for the high fields, the quote for a trip around Bolivia usually names Santa Cruz as the place where the second aircraft starts from, and says plainly which of the two legs each one flies.

Business aviation airports in Bolivia

Bolivia has two airports that matter for a foreign business jet, Santa Cruz and La Paz, and a ring of high or remote fields that need planning. Altitude, runway and customs status matter here more than the size of the terminal:

 

Three rules settle most Bolivian trips before a quote goes out:

 

Arriving from Britain: passports, customs and what to carry

Bolivia is outside the European Union and the Schengen area, and the entry rules for a British citizen are short. Immigration and customs are cleared at an airport of entry, which for a private flight means Santa Cruz or La Paz.

 

 

Which airport for which part of Bolivia

The arrival airport follows from one address: the office in Santa Cruz, the hotel in La Paz, the salt flat in the south-west. These are the usual pairings:

 

Santa Cruz, La Paz and the salt flat: what our clients go for

Santa Cruz is where the money is made. The city proper holds about 1.6 million people and produces about a third of Bolivia's economic output, and it receives more than 40 percent of the country's foreign direct investment. Banking and agro-industry lead, and Expocruz, the largest exhibition fair in Bolivia, fills the hotels once a year. Bolivia exports natural gas, gold, zinc, silver, tin and soya products, so many of our trips are boardroom days of two or three nights.

La Paz is the political capital in everything but name. The presidency, the legislature and all the foreign embassies sit there, and the city produces about a quarter of national output. Its centre is a bowl of steep streets at about 3,600 metres, and the state-run cable-car network, Mi Teleférico, is the quickest way across it.

Lithium is the other reason for interest. Bolivia holds about a fifth of the world's known lithium resources, most of them under the Salar de Uyuni, which is also the largest salt flat in the world, about 10,500 square kilometres at about 3,650 metres. Incahuasi island, a former volcano crowned with giant cacti, rises out of the white.

The salt flat has a British footnote. British engineers built the railway to Uyuni in the late nineteenth century to carry minerals to the Pacific ports, and the abandoned locomotives of the train cemetery are left from the collapse of mining in the middle of the last century.

 

The Bolivian year: when the Altiplano is dry and the salt flat is a mirror

Bolivia has no single season. The Altiplano, the valleys and the lowlands keep different calendars, and the weather that suits one region rarely suits another:

 

The Bolivian calendar: Alasitas, the Oruro carnival and Gran Poder

The dated events are few, and the biggest ones pull on a single airport:

The festivals fall in the weeks when hotels, cars and aircraft are all in short supply, and the permit lead time does not shrink for them, so a request for La Paz in Gran Poder week or for Oruro in carnival week should go to the operator as soon as the dates are fixed.

 

 

Flying to Bolivia with a dog or a cat

A dog or cat travelling with its owner can enter Bolivia without quarantine if the paperwork is right, and the barrier is the timetable. The listed entry point for pets is El Alto at La Paz, where the animal and the papers are inspected, so for a private flight we confirm the airport, the inspector and the paperwork in writing before the flight.

• A microchip fitted before the rabies vaccination, and a wait of at least 21 full days after the vaccination, both of which the return to Britain requires, although Bolivia itself only recommends the chip;
• 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.

The three-month count is the point. A weekend with a pet in Bolivia does not work unless the blood sample was taken at least three months before the return, so we build the timetable backwards from the date of landing in Britain.

 

 

Empty Legs

An empty leg is a repositioning flight with nobody aboard, offered at a fraction of the usual price. On the Bolivian run there are few, because few aircraft can make the crossing.

A client who can offer a window of several weeks 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. A selection of Bolivian empty legs follows:

 

 

 

Helicopter charter

Helicopter work in Bolivia is arranged case by case, and we do not publish a standing price list for it. Availability depends on which machine can be positioned, and the thin air above 3,000 metres limits what a helicopter can lift, so a rotorcraft that carries six people at Santa Cruz may carry fewer at La Paz. The one transfer clients ask about is short:

The time is a straight-line estimate at a cruise of about 115 knots, and the operator confirms the helicopter type, the route and the landing site for your date. We confirm landing permission at the destination before the quote is issued.

 

 

Flights from the UK to Bolivia

Farnborough, Biggin Hill, Gatwick 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.
