Private jet charter in Colombia

From Britain, Colombia sits at the far edge of what a business jet flies without stopping: about nine and three-quarter hours to Bogotá in an ultra-long-range cabin, landing at an airport 2,548 metres above the sea. Private Jets UK starts every Colombian quote with two questions, whether the aircraft can cover the distance in one go and what the height of the arrival field does to its weight. 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 Colombia that also covers a landing permit for any domestic leg, ground transport booked through the handler and not hailed in the street, and the paperwork that keeps the aircraft legal if it stays on the ground for more than two days.

 

 

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 Colombia 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 Bombardier Global 6000 to Bogotá El Dorado, 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 Colombia?

Colombia keeps one time all year, five hours behind Greenwich and six behind British Summer Time, with no clock change in between. A morning departure from Britain therefore lands around midday on the local clock. These are the sectors from London Farnborough on a Bombardier Global 6000, gate to gate:

Barranquilla is 420 nautical miles shorter than Cali, which is 50 min in the air and £11,000 on the quote, so a Colombian 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 Colombia

Typical private jet charter prices from Britain into Colombia, listed cheapest first. The Caribbean coast is the nearest arrival, but the price on this page is built on Bogotá El Dorado, the airport that takes any aircraft at any hour, and the table moves with the distance and with the range of the aircraft that can fly it:

 

 

Private jet flights within Colombia and to its neighbours

Colombia's big cities sit in separate valleys and on two coasts, so a short distance on the map can be a long drive. From Bogotá to Medellín is 121 nautical miles and to Cali 157, while Cartagena is 368 and the island of San Andrés 678. These are the sectors we are asked for, flown from Bogotá El Dorado, with the capitals that clients combine with a Colombian 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 Colombia:

 

 

Because the aircraft that crosses the Atlantic is a heavy one and the airports in the Andes are high, a quote for a trip around Colombia often names two aircraft, and we say so at the first reply and not at the second.

Business aviation airports in Colombia

Colombia has one airport that takes everything and a ring of regional fields around it. What separates them is height above the sea, runway length and who is licensed to clear customs, and those three facts matter more than the terminal:

 

Five points settle most Colombian arrivals before a quote goes out:

 

Arriving from Britain: passports, customs and what to carry

Colombia is outside the European Union and the Schengen area, and the entry rules for a British citizen are short. The border is dealt with at the first Colombian airport where you land, which is why that airport has to be an international one with customs.

 

 

Which airport for which part of Colombia

The arrival airport follows from one address: the hotel in the old town, the finca in the coffee hills, the lodge on the Pacific. These are the usual pairings:

 

Bogotá, Cartagena and the coffee region: what our clients go for

Bogotá is where the business is. The city has about eight million residents and the metropolitan area more than eleven, on a plateau where the average temperature is 14.5 degrees and fog is frequent. Most trips are two or three days of meetings, with the Sunday flea market and brunch in Usaquén as the usual free morning. Altitude sickness is a risk in Bogotá, as the travel advice says, so a day to settle in before the first meeting is sensible.

Cartagena draws the other half. The walled city is on the UNESCO World Heritage list, the city itself has about 915,000 residents, and the Rosario Islands, with their large coral reef, lie about 20 km offshore. January to March is the driest part of the year, and the Hay Festival, the film festival and the nautical fair fill the winter calendar.

Medellín sits at 1,495 metres in the Aburrá Valley with a steady average of about 22 degrees, which earned it the name City of the Eternal Spring, and El Poblado is the district clients ask for.

The coffee region is for people with a few days. UNESCO inscribed the Coffee Cultural Landscape, a group of towns and farms across Caldas, Risaralda, Quindío and neighbouring departments, and Pereira, Armenia, Manizales and Salento are the places to base yourself.

The Pacific coast and the Macarena mountains are the adventurous end. From July to October humpback whales come to the coast at Nuquí and Bahía Solano, and Caño Cristales, in the Macarena mountains, shows its colours from late June or July to November, after the rains. Both need local aircraft and local guides, and both are arranged before the quote is signed.

 

The Colombian year: dry months, wet months and the whale season

Colombia has no summer and winter in the British sense. It has dry and wet months that differ by region, and a few dated events that bend the calendar:

 

The Colombian calendar: carnival, flowers and whales

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

 

 

Flying to Colombia with a dog or a cat

A dog or cat travelling with its owner is an administrative job in Colombia and not a quarantine, but the paperwork has two sides, one for the way in and a longer one for the way home. The Colombian agricultural institute, ICA, inspects the animal and its documents on arrival, at an ICA office at the airport of entry.

• A rabies vaccination that is valid on entry and listed on the vaccination record;
• A microchip fitted before the rabies vaccination, which the British rules also require;
• Treatment against internal and external parasites before the certificate is issued, with the dates recorded;
• For a dog, a tapeworm treatment by a vet not less than 24 hours and not more than five days before it arrives in Britain.

Some breeds cannot enter. Published lists of banned breeds include the Staffordshire terrier types, pit bull types, the mastiff and the rottweiler and their crosses. An animal that arrives without the right documents may be held in quarantine in Britain for up to four months. We tell the handler in advance and confirm the entry point and the paperwork for the animal in writing before the flight.

Requirements for rabbits, reptiles 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 flight the operator has to make anyway, with the cabin empty, and sells at a discount. Few aircraft make the Atlantic crossing to Colombia, so the legs are rarer here than on a European corridor, and each one is a long sector with a large saving.

The operator owns the date, and a leg can vanish if the original booking moves, so a client with a window of several weeks has by far the best chance of a match. Whatever is free is listed on our empty legs page. A selection of Colombian empty legs follows:

 

 

 

Helicopter charter

Helicopters in Colombia do short jobs that a car does badly: the airport to the north of Bogotá past the traffic, the airport at Rionegro from the city, the islands from the walled city. These are the transfers clients ask for, with times estimated from the published distance:

The times are straight-line estimates at a cruise of about 115 knots from the published distance, so the real route can be different, and the operator confirms it for your date. Weather, wind, the load and the height of the departure point decide the rest.

 

 

Flights from the UK to Colombia

Farnborough, Biggin Hill, Luton 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.
