Private jet charter in Chile

From London, Santiago is about 6,500 nautical miles of planned track away, and that single figure decides which aircraft can fly a private jet charter to Chile without a stop. Only the ultra-long-range cabins are published with that kind of reach, so in our planning the aircraft comes first and the passenger list second. 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 Chile that also means a landing permit and an overflight permit filed through the handler, a slot for any call at Easter Island, and customs officers who meet the aircraft at the FBO in Santiago.

 

 

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 Chile 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 G650ER to Santiago Arturo Merino Benítez, 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 Chile?

Mainland Chile keeps UTC-4 in winter and UTC-3 on summer time, which runs from early September to early April, except in the far south, where Magallanes stays on UTC-3 all year. Against Britain that makes Santiago five hours behind from April to August, four in September and October, and three from November to March. These are the sectors from London Farnborough, gate to gate, with a Gulfstream G550 for the north, the G650ER for Santiago and the centre, and a Global 7500 for the far south:

Calama is about 55 min shorter than Santiago, and the far south of Patagonia about 1 h 50 min longer, which is why a quote for Chile 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 Chile

Typical private jet charter prices from Britain into Chile, cheapest first. Arica, Calama and Antofagasta in the north are the nearest arrivals, but the price on this page is built on Santiago, the one airport with FBOs and the arrival that almost every itinerary starts from. The table climbs with the distance and with the range of the aircraft that can fly it:

 

 

Private jet flights within Chile and to its neighbours

Chile is a strip of country, and the distances inside it are long. Arica in the north to Punta Arenas in the south is 2,164 nautical miles on our track, and Easter Island is 2,107 nautical miles west of Santiago over open ocean. These are the sectors we are asked for, flown from Santiago, with the neighbouring cities that clients combine with a Chilean 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 Chile:

 

 

Because the long-range jet is expensive by the hour and often too large for the smaller fields, the quote for a trip around Chile usually names Santiago as the place where the second aircraft starts from, and says plainly which of the two legs each one flies.

Business aviation airports in Chile

Chile has one airport with real business aviation facilities and a string of public airports strung along a narrow country between the Andes and the Pacific. Between them the airports differ by customs status, by slot rules and by who can arrange fuel, and those matter more than the length of the runway:

 

Five rules settle most Chilean trips before a quote goes out:

 

Arriving from Britain: passports, customs and what to carry

Chile is outside the European Union and the Schengen area, and the entry rules for a British citizen are short. Immigration, customs and the agriculture service all meet the aircraft together, in the FBO at Santiago.

 

 

Which airport for which part of Chile

The arrival airport follows from one address: the hotel in Las Condes, the lodge below the Torres del Paine, the camp in the Atacama. These are the usual pairings:

 

Santiago, the wine valleys and Patagonia: what our clients go for

Santiago is where the business is. The city has some 6.3 million residents and the metropolitan area about 6.9 million, and the glass towers of Sanhattan carry the tallest building in South America. Chile produces almost 30 percent of the world's copper, is among the leading producers of lithium and is the second-largest producer of salmon, so a good share of our trips are boardroom days of two or three nights, with the aircraft held at Santiago or sent home empty.

Wine is the second half of the central valley. Chile is the fifth-largest wine exporter in the world. Maipo is the closest region to the capital and is known for Cabernet Sauvignon, Casablanca makes the white wines in the fog of the Pacific, Colchagua has the full-bodied reds, and Carmenère, the grape long sold as Merlot, is grown across Maipo and Colchagua. A day among the vines is a car ride from the airport.

The north is a different country. The Atacama is a cold desert with very little rain, around San Pedro the Moon Valley is a landscape of salt mines and old worker huts, and the El Tatio field has more than 80 active geysers. The Atacama salt flat covers about 3,000 square kilometres. The same clear air serves the ALMA radio telescopes on the Chajnantor plain and the four 8.2-metre telescopes of the Very Large Telescope at Paranal.

Patagonia is the reason for the longest charters. The Torres del Paine park covers 181,414 hectares, with the W trek taking three to five days and the O circuit seven to nine, and lodges and refugios along the routes. In the lake district the volcanoes above Pucón and the Termas Geométricas, a ravine of 60 hot springs on wooden boardwalks, draw clients who prefer water to altitude.

Easter Island is for people who have time. The island covers 163.6 square kilometres, has about 7,750 residents and nearly 1,000 moai, most of them carved at the crater of Rano Raraku, and the beach at Anakena is where oral tradition places the first settlement. It lies about 3,500 km from the nearest point on the mainland.

 

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

Chile has its summer in the months when Britain has winter, and the country stretches over so many climates that no single month suits all of it. Santiago works all year, while the south and the mountains keep a shorter calendar:

 

The Chilean calendar: Tapati, the song festival and the ski season

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

 

 

Flying to Chile with a dog or a cat

A dog or cat travelling with its owner can enter Chile without quarantine, and the barrier is a certificate with tight dates. The agricultural and livestock service, SAG, checks the papers and the animal at the airport of entry, and the animal is declared on the same sworn declaration that the owner signs for animals and plant material.

• A rabies vaccination given at least 30 days and no more than 12 months before export, or a blood test taken between 3 and 24 months before with a result of at least 0.5 IU/ml;
• A microchip fitted before the vaccination, which the return to Britain also requires;
• A clinical examination by the official vet within ten days before export, with the animal fit to travel;
• 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 sector is long, and the examination date drives every other date, so we build the timetable backwards from the flight and confirm in writing how the animal will be received at Santiago. Requirements for rabbits, birds, reptiles 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. On the Chilean run there are few of them, because few aircraft can 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 Chilean empty legs follows:

 

 

 

Helicopter charter

Helicopters in Chile do short, specific jobs: the ski slope from the capital, the coast from the hills, the vineyard from the airport. These are the transfers clients ask for, with the ski times as listed by the operators and the rest estimated from the distance:

The ski flights are listed from June to November with departures from Tobalaba, from the airport and from the Titanium Tower, and the helicopter is one way, so the return is a second booking. The other two times are straight-line estimates at a cruise of about 115 knots, and the operator confirms the route for your date. Weather, wind and the load decide the rest.

 

 

Flights from the UK to Chile

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.
