Private jet charter in Bosnia and Herzegovina

A morning departure from the London airfields puts you on the ground in Sarajevo before lunch, and that is the whole case for flying privately to Bosnia and Herzegovina: the roads on the other side run through mountains and are slow, and a private aircraft goes to the nearest runway rather than the nearest timetable. The capital sits in a mountain bowl, the south opens onto the Mediterranean hills around Mostar, and the ski slopes that hosted a Winter Olympics are a short drive from the capital. Private Jets UK plans each trip around that geography and around the paperwork, because the country is outside the EU and outside Schengen and a charter into it needs landing permission as well as a flight plan. 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 Bosnia and Herzegovina that means a landing permit filed on time, the right handling agent at the right terminal, and a car at the aircraft door.

 

 

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 Bosnia and Herzegovina 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, a Cessna Citation CJ3+ to Sarajevo 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 Bosnia and Herzegovina?

Bosnia keeps Central European time, one hour ahead of Britain, so an early departure from London lands before lunch by the Sarajevo clock. These are the sectors from London Biggin Hill on a Citation CJ3+, wheels up to wheels down, to the four airports a private jet can really use:

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.

For a Bosnian booking the aircraft is often not in Britain at all but in Vienna, Budapest, Zagreb or Istanbul, and that is where a better price tends to come from. We look at the whole map before a figure is sent.

Business aviation airports in Bosnia and Herzegovina

The country has four airports with customs and runways long enough for any business jet, and one of them takes nearly all the traffic:

 

Three points settle most Bosnian arrivals before the price goes out:

 

Arriving from Britain: passports, customs and permits

Bosnia and Herzegovina is not in the European Union and not in Schengen, and neither is Britain, so a flight from London lands as an international arrival: you clear passport control and customs at the first airport, with the handler telling us beforehand where the officers meet the aircraft.

 

 

Which airport for which part of Bosnia and Herzegovina

The airport follows the address, and in a country of valleys and ridges the address can be hours of mountain road from the next runway. Typical pairings:

 

Capital, mountains and the Neretva: what our clients go for

Official business pulls hardest, and it pulls toward the capital. Sarajevo is where the country's national institutions and the foreign embassies sit, and the Central Bank and the stock exchange are there too, with the Sarajevo Canton producing about a quarter of the national economy. A delegation or an investor who needs a day of meetings lands in the morning and leaves in the evening, and that is the commonest Bosnian booking we see.

The second reason is winter. The city hosted the Winter Olympics, and the mountains that took the events are still the country's main ski ground: the Olympic men's downhill was run on Bjelašnica, whose summit reaches 2,067 metres and whose original downhill course is 3,100 metres long, while the women's alpine events went to Jahorina, which is the largest resort in the country. Snow cover is visible from the city from mid-October to early June.

The third reason is Herzegovina. South of the watershed the climate turns Mediterranean, and Mostar's summer highs average about 33 degrees. The Old Bridge was built in the sixteenth century at the order of Suleiman the Magnificent, destroyed in the war and rebuilt to the original design, and the old quarter around it is listed by UNESCO. Medjugorje, nearby, draws Catholic pilgrims from many countries.

 

The Bosnian year: when the slopes are busy and when the bridge is

The north and centre have a continental climate with cold, snowy winters and warm summers, while Herzegovina is Mediterranean. Sarajevo averages about 0.6 degrees in January and about 21 in July, with roughly 22 days of snow a year. The year falls into five stretches:

Young men have long jumped from the Old Bridge into the cold Neretva, and a formal diving competition is held every summer. Rooms in the old quarter fill early for that weekend, and a landing at Mostar needs to be booked early too.

 

The Bosnian calendar: ski, bridge and film

The country keeps its rhythm by the weather and by three religious calendars:

 

 

Flying to Bosnia and Herzegovina with a dog or a cat

A dog or cat flies in the cabin with you. The paperwork is longer than for most European trips, because the country sits outside the EU and may ask for a rabies antibody test, so planning starts months ahead and not days.

• An ISO-standard microchip, fitted before or at the same time as the rabies vaccination;
• Entry through a point of entry designated for travellers, where the papers go to the veterinary authority;
• No more than five animals in one non-commercial movement; a larger group is treated as an import;
• For a dog, a tapeworm treatment given in Bosnia inside the 24 to 120 hour window before the flight home. Cats need no worming.

There is no vet at the airport, so we book a practice in Sarajevo for the treatment and plan the departure around it. We confirm the airport that receives the animal, and the paperwork, in writing before the flight.

Requirements for ferrets, birds, rabbits and the less usual species 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. Bosnia produces them because many trips are one-way: the aircraft drops a party in Sarajevo or Mostar and has little reason to wait.

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. A selection of Bosnian empty legs follows:

 

 

 

Helicopter charter

The helicopter is not for the flight from Britain. It does the last stretch, in place of roads that take hours. These are the sectors we are asked for:

The times are straight-line estimates at a cruise of about 115 knots, and the operator confirms the route for your date. A landing away from an aerodrome needs the site agreed in advance.

 

 

Flights from the UK to Bosnia and Herzegovina

Biggin Hill, London City, Luton and Farnborough send most of the traffic on this corridor, 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.
