Private jet charter in Cuba
Havana is roughly 4,223 nautical miles from London, and the distance is the smallest of the questions this page has to answer. For Cuba the aircraft, the fuel, the permits and the passengers' own paperwork all have to be settled before a price means anything. Our customers have access to 6,500 jets of all types and configurations available for rent. 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. For Cuba we say plainly, before we quote, what we can arrange and what we cannot promise.
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 Cuba 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 Challenger 605 to José Martí International Airport at Havana with one technical stop in the Azores, and two passengers aboard. The figure covers the flight only. It assumes that the landing permit, the handling and the fuel arrangements described below can be confirmed for your dates, and it does not include a positioning sector to a fuelled airport if one is needed. 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.
Can you charter a private jet to Cuba?
In principle yes, and with more conditions than for any other island in the region. The Foreign Office advice is advice and not a prohibition, so the decision belongs to the passengers and their insurer. Whether a particular flight can operate depends on five practical matters, and only some of them are ours to solve:
What we do, and what we do not
We quote the flight, choose an aircraft and an operator whose position on the export rules and insurance is established in writing, apply for the permits through the Cuban handler, and plan the fuel so that the aircraft does not depend on Cuban supplies. We tell you early if a request cannot be carried out.
We do not give legal advice, we cannot promise fuel, power or terminal services on the ground, and we cannot arrange security, medical evacuation or an exit if the situation changes. A booking is confirmed only when the permit, the handling and the insurance are all confirmed in writing, and a deposit is not asked before that point.
How long does it take to fly to Cuba?
Cuba keeps standard time five hours behind Greenwich for most of the year and changes its clocks on dates that differ by a week or two from the British ones. Only the largest cabins fly from London to Havana without stopping. A Challenger 605 or a Legacy 650 lands once on the way, at Santa Maria in the Azores. From Biggin Hill the two legs measure 1,429 and 3,168 nautical miles, which is 374 more than the direct 4,223. The second leg is the long one, so the crew checks the payload and the winds before they commit to it. The times below are westbound and gate to gate, and they leave out the stop:
4,597 nautical miles from Biggin Hill in two legs, with about an hour on the groundabout 11 h 15 min plus the stop
4,223 nautical miles from Biggin Hillabout 10 h 20 min
4,192 nautical miles from Farnboroughabout 9 h 20 min
3,980 nautical miles, the shortest crossing in the price table belowabout 9 h 40 min
4,192 nautical miles with the jet stream behind the aircraft, if fuel for the whole sector is on boardabout 7 h 55 min
Fuel decides the shape of the return
Because Havana may have no fuel for a visiting aircraft, the return is planned in two parts: a short sector to the nearest airport that sells fuel, then the ocean. Grand Cayman is 239 nautical miles from Havana, Cancun 286, Nassau 310 and Montego Bay 384. The quotation shows that sector as its own line. A Global 6000 that leaves Farnborough at ten in the morning in winter touches down at Havana at about 14:20 by the local clock, so the afternoon is still there.
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 Cuba
Typical private jet charter prices from Britain to José Martí International at Havana, listed cheapest first. The first rows stop in the Azores, the later ones cross without a stop. Every price assumes that the permit, the handling and the export position are confirmed:
| Route | Aircraft | Price, one way |
|---|---|---|
| London Biggin Hill - Havana 4,597 nm / 8,514 km via the Azores |
Challenger 605 up to 12 |

Two things worth knowing about these figures
– The Azores stop is the cheaper way to cross. A Challenger 605 from Biggin Hill starts at £91,900, a Legacy 650 on the same plan at £97,200, a Falcon 900LX without a stop at £105,150, a Global 6000 from Farnborough at £114,000 and a Gulfstream G650ER from Biggin Hill at £135,450. The airport inside Cuba moves the figure by a few per cent, Santiago de Cuba on the same plan being £87,450;
– A one-way price carries the aircraft's journey home, so a single outbound flight is priced close to half of a return. Air Passenger Duty is charged per passenger on a departure from a British airport and we show it as a separate line. A positioning sector to a fuelled airport, where one is needed, is a further line.
Private jet flights within Cuba and to the neighbouring islands
Cuba is the largest island in the Caribbean, about 1,250 kilometres from end to end, and the roads between the resorts are slow. The sectors people ask about are the short hops to Varadero and the cays, and the long one to Santiago de Cuba. The figures are indicative and apply only if the permit, the handling and the fuel for the sector are confirmed:
| Route | Aircraft | Flight time | Price, one way |
|---|---|---|---|
| Havana - Varadero 56 nm / 104 km |
Pilatus PC-12 NGX up to 9 |
about 40 min | from £3,100 |
| Havana - Cayo Coco 237 nm / 439 km |
Citation CJ4 Gen2 up to 8 |
about 1 h | from £5,950 |
| Havana - Santiago de Cuba 426 nm / 789 km |
Citation CJ4 Gen2 up to 8 |
about 1 h 25 min | from £7,000 |
Why we often recommend a car
Every sector is a further request for permission and a further handling arrangement, and while the Jet A-1 notices stand the aircraft carries fuel for the sector and for the next fuelled airport. Havana to Varadero is 56 nautical miles in the air and about 140 kilometres by road, about two and a quarter hours by taxi. For that pair the road is usually the sensible answer. We quote an internal sector on request and do not offer it as a standard product.
Grand Cayman, Cancun, Nassau and Montego Bay are each one short jet sector from Havana, between 239 and 384 nautical miles, and an aircraft that cannot refuel in Cuba usually uses one of them as its next stop. Each is a new international arrival with its own forms for British passengers.
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.
Online Calculator
If you want to make an urgent calculation of the cost of a private plane flight, use our online calculator. Just fill in all the fields of the form with a note that you are interested in a specific model of the aircraft and get the final price. NB! - the figures are sent to you by email or messenger, please carefully fill in the contact details to get the calculation.
All our calculations are as transparent as possible for you. After receiving the request, we will prepare a beautiful offer - where the costs and the final price will be clearly described. The exact price is agreed in advance and is written in the contract, so you can be sure of the final cost.
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. For Cuba we ask for the aircraft's manufacturer, engines and avionics before we propose it, because the American export position is decided by the equipment on board. These are the typical choices:
Heavy jets
The class behind most sensible crossings, with one stop. The second leg to Havana is 3,168 nautical miles, so the payload and the winds are checked for the date.
Ultra-long range
The class that crosses in a single hop, proposed when time is short or an animal is in the cabin. The Falcon 900LX is the cheapest of the group from Britain.

Business aviation airports in Cuba
Cuba has several airports of entry with long runways, and Havana takes almost all of the international private traffic. Only Havana has a handler that we can name from published directories. The table gives the hours as the directories list them:
| Airport | Ground | How it operates |
|---|---|---|
| José Martí International HAV / MUHA |
Boyeros, about 20 km south-west of the centre of Havana, the main gateway | Runway 06/24, 4,000 metres (13,123 feet). Open round the clock, airport of entry with customs, coordinated with slots required, handling mandatory. The handler listed in the directories is Cuba Handling at Terminal 5, the general aviation area; the state company ECASA runs the airport and the fuel. The FCDO page reports that only Terminal 3 is operating, so the handler confirms on the day where a private arrival is processed |
| Juan Gualberto Gómez International VRA / MUVR |
About 22 km south-west of Varadero town, the gateway to the beach resorts | Runway 06/24, about 3,500 metres (11,490 feet). Open round the clock, airport of entry with customs, slots required, handling not mandatory; Consorcio Aviation is listed as supervising agent. A bird threat is noted for pilots. The road to Havana is about 140 kilometres |
| Jardines del Rey International CCC / MUCC |
Cayo Coco, on the north coast | Runway 08/26, about 3,000 metres (9,843 feet). Airport of entry with customs, no slots, no mandatory handling. Hours are listed as 12:00 to 23:59 UTC, which is 7:00 to 19:00 in Cuban standard time, with 48 hours' notice outside them |
| Vilo Acuña International CYO / MUCL |
Cayo Largo del Sur, a beach island off the south coast | Runway 12/30, about 3,000 metres (9,843 feet). Airport of entry with customs, no slots, no mandatory handling. Hours are listed as 7:00 to 19:00 local time, with 24 hours' notice outside them |
| Antonio Maceo International SCU / MUCU |
About 7 km south-south-west of Santiago de Cuba, in the east | Runway 10/28, about 4,000 metres (13,130 feet). Airport of entry with customs, handling mandatory, no slots. Hours are listed as 7:00 to midnight local time, with prior notice outside them. A bird threat is noted for pilots |
Permits, slots and the fuel notice
A landing permit is needed for every flight, whatever the registration. The aviation authority asks for at least three working days, a named handler and a named receiving party, and an overflight permit with navigation fees applies when the route crosses Cuban airspace; the handler files them, and unpaid fees can block a later flight. Havana and Varadero are coordinated airports, so a slot goes into the same application. Services at Havana are reported to be paid in advance, because fuel cards and credit cards are not accepted, and the handler confirms the position for the date.
American rules, insurance and who is aboard
The United States rules follow the equipment inside an aircraft, not only its registration. A non-US aircraft whose US-origin content exceeds 10 per cent by value is treated as a US item when it is sent to Cuba, and engines and avionics count. For a private flight, operator guides report that a licence is almost never granted, because the policy for an aircraft on a temporary stay is one of denial. A certificated air carrier on a commercial charter may be authorised case by case, with conditions such as a stay of no more than seven days.
We therefore work only with an operator that holds the position in writing, and we may decline a request that does not fit. A second layer applies if anyone aboard is an American citizen or resident, or if a payment in US dollars is part of the arrangement: the sanctions rules then reach the whole flight, and tourism is not among the authorised categories. We ask every passenger's nationality and residence at the start. Passengers who plan to continue to the United States should check their own entry position, because a stay in Cuba can affect it.
Insurance is the third layer. Many aviation policies exclude Cuba, and some insurers may refuse a claim connected with sanctions, so we obtain written confirmation from the operator's broker. The passengers need travel insurance that names Cuba explicitly. We cannot give legal advice, and each passenger is responsible for their own compliance.
Arriving from Britain: passports, forms and what to carry
Cuba is outside the Schengen area and the British customs territory. A private flight from London lands as an international arrival at an airport of entry, and passengers and crew are cleared there. The FCDO page on entry requirements sets out the following for British citizens:
valid for at least six months after arrival and three months after the planned departure, and not reported lost or stolenevery passenger
a tourist visa, also called a tourist card, is needed before travelling; it can be obtained through the Cuban Embassy in the UK, a travel agent or the eVisa-Cuba site, and approval brings a code for the arrival form. The handler normally coordinates the visasbefore departure
the D'Viajeros online form within 72 hours before entry; it produces a QR code that is shown on arrival and is best saved or printed, because wifi may not be available72 hours before
proof of return or onward travel is required, and an overstay can lead to detentioncarry the itinerary
foreign currency worth more than 5,000 US dollars must be declared; the Cuban peso cannot be exchanged outside Cuba, and international bank cards are reported not to work, so bring cash for the whole staycash for the stay
drones are not allowed and are confiscated until departure, GPS must be switched off on phones, tablets and laptops, and meat, milk, fresh fruit, vegetables and seeds may not be brought incheck before packing
Proof of yellow fever vaccination is needed only for travellers who arrive from a country with a risk of transmission, which a direct flight from Britain via the Azores is not. The journey home is a flight into Britain: a General Aviation Report goes to the border authorities not earlier than 48 hours and not later than two hours before departure, and British and Irish citizens need no electronic travel authorisation.
From the apron to the hotel: which airport for which part of Cuba
The roads are slow and the island is long, so the airport that lands you nearest to the bed matters more than a few minutes of flying:
the historic centre of Havana and its fortifications are a World Heritage Site, and the airport lies on the south-western edge of the cityJosé Martí (HAV)
the airport serves the resorts directly; the drive from Havana airport is about 140 kilometres, roughly two and a quarter hours by taxiVaradero (VRA)
World Heritage areas in the west and on the south coast; we have not found a business aviation airfield that we can recommend near any of them, so the plan is a landing at Havana or Varadero and a driveHAV or VRA, then road
the resort islands of Cayo Coco on the north coast and Cayo Largo del Sur off the south coast, each with its own airport of entry and limited hoursCCC, CYO
the eastern capital, with the San Pedro de la Roca castle, a World Heritage Site; it is far from Havana by roadAntonio Maceo (SCU)
The year in Cuba: dry winters, hurricanes and the busy weeks
The island has a drier season from November to April and a rainier one from May to October, with hurricanes most common in September and October:
the dry and the high season; December is the busiest month, followed by March with Easter, and January; Havana runs from about 17 to 25 degrees Celsius in Januarypeak
hot and humid, with heavy afternoon rain; July and August bring school holidays, and Havana runs from about 23 to 32 degrees in Julyshoulder
the storm peak, within a hurricane season that runs from June to November; we plan a flight in those weeks with a weather margin and a postponement clauseweather risk
The Cuban calendar: film, jazz, cigars and carnival
The dated events cluster in the dry season, with one big exception in July. The months are the usual ones:
Flying to Cuba with a dog or a cat
Cuba admits dogs and cats without quarantine when the paperwork is in order. The entry rules were written for airlines, so an animal in the cabin of a private jet needs the handler's written confirmation before we promise anything.
The entry rules as published
A licensed vet in the departure country completes the Cuban pet health certificate shortly before travel. The rabies vaccination must be given at least 30 days before arrival. A microchip is recommended but not required, and an import permit is not required for a personal pet. Pets must enter through José Martí International Airport in Havana. These points come from a pet travel guide and not from a Cuban government notice, so we confirm them with the handler for the date.
Coming home is the harder half. Cuba is not on the British list of countries with relaxed rules, so the animal needs a Great Britain pet health certificate, a rabies vaccination after the microchip and a rabies blood test, and then a wait before it can travel. A dog also needs a tapeworm treatment from a vet 24 to 120 hours before landing in Britain, and an animal that does not meet the rules can be placed in quarantine for up to four months. We confirm the entry point and the paperwork in writing before the flight, and the rules for other species are set out on our flying with pets guide.
Empty Legs
An empty leg is a repositioning flight with nobody aboard, sold at a fraction of the normal price. Cuba produces very few of them: a charter there is almost always one-way, and the number of operators able to fly to Cuba at all is small. Any leg that does appear must still have the permit, the handling and the export position confirmed, like a full charter. Free legs are listed on our empty legs page. The table shows what a leg on these sectors would typically cost, as a level and not an offer:
| Route | Aircraft | Capacity | Whole aircraft |
|---|---|---|---|
| Havana - UK (London Biggin Hill) | Challenger 605 | 12 seats | £38,600 |
| UK (London Luton) - Havana | Challenger 605 | 12 seats | £38,650 |
| UK (Belfast) - Havana | Falcon 900LX | 12 seats | £41,700 |
| Havana - UK (London Farnborough) | Global 6000 | 13 seats | £47,900 |
How to read those figures
Each price is for the whole aircraft, not per seat. The whole leg costs roughly two-fifths of a fresh one-way charter on the same sector, and an open date helps more than anything else.
Helicopter charter
We have not found a helicopter operator in Cuba that we can verify and recommend to a visitor, so this page lists no helicopter prices. A rotary flight would need its own permission, its own landing site and fuel that is subject to the same shortage as jet fuel. For the hops that people sometimes ask a helicopter to cover, such as Havana to Varadero, we plan a car. If a helicopter is essential to your trip, tell us at the start, and we ask the handler whether an operator, a landing site and fuel exist for your date.

Cuban charters from the booking notes: six typical set-ups
Six typical jobs put together from booking notes with the particulars changed, so none describes one named client or date.
WINTER · FOUR FRIENDS
A week in Havana
Biggin Hill - Havana via the Azores, Challenger 605, about 11 h 15 min plus the stop · 4 pax
The aircraft landed with fuel for the next leg, dropped the party and went on to Grand Cayman to wait. The permit and the receiving party were confirmed four working days before departure.
HERITAGE · A GROUP OF SIX
A non-stop crossing for Old Havana
Farnborough - Havana, Global 6000, about 9 h 20 min · 6 pax
Visas and arrival forms were completed before departure, and the cars met the party at the terminal the handler named.
BEACH · A FAMILY OF FIVE
Havana to Varadero, by road
Havana - Varadero, Pilatus PC-12 NGX, about 40 min in the air · 5 pax
They asked for the short flight, saw the permit and fuel requirements for a sector of 56 nautical miles, and chose the car, about two and a quarter hours.
EAST · TWO EXECUTIVES
Havana to Santiago de Cuba
Havana - Santiago de Cuba, Citation CJ4 Gen2, about 1 h 25 min · 2 pax
A business visit quoted as a separate sector with its own permit request, confirmed only after the handler confirmed the airport hours and the fuel for the return.
DECLINED · A US PASSPORT
A request that did not go ahead
Biggin Hill - Havana via the Azores, Challenger 605 · 4 pax
One passenger held an American passport and the purpose was tourism. We explained how the sanctions rules apply to the whole flight and the request stopped there, before any deposit.
A DOG AT HOME · A DECISION
A couple, a spaniel and a blood test
Biggin Hill - Havana, Falcon 900LX non-stop, about 10 h 20 min · 2 pax
Cuba would admit the dog, but the way home needed a blood test and a wait longer than the holiday. The dog stayed with a friend.
Frequently asked questions about flying to Cuba
1Can I charter a private jet from London to Cuba?
In principle yes, but each flight depends on five things: the FCDO advises against all but essential travel, Jet A-1 is reported unavailable at Cuban airports, American export rules apply to a non-US aircraft with more than 10 per cent of US-origin content, the Cuban authorities require a landing permit and a local handler, and many insurers exclude Cuba. We confirm all of them in writing before a booking is accepted.
2How long does it take to fly to Cuba by private jet?
About 10 hours 20 minutes non-stop from a London airfield to Havana in a Falcon 900LX, and about 11 hours 15 minutes in a Challenger 605 plus about an hour on the ground in the Azores. Cuba is five hours behind Britain for most of the year.
3How much does a private jet to Cuba cost?
From about £91,900 one way from Biggin Hill to Havana in a Challenger 605 with a stop in the Azores. A Falcon 900LX non-stop from Biggin Hill is about £105,150, and a Gulfstream G650ER about £135,450..
4Which airports do private jets use in Cuba?
José Martí International (HAV) at Havana takes most of the international private traffic. Varadero (VRA) serves the beach resorts, Cayo Coco (CCC) and Cayo Largo (CYO) the cays, and Antonio Maceo (SCU) Santiago de Cuba.
5What are the entry rules for a private flight from Britain to Cuba?
British citizens need a tourist visa and a passport valid for six months after arrival and three months after departure. Each traveller completes the D'Viajeros online form within 72 hours before entry, and proof of onward or return travel is required. A landing permit is needed for every flight, with a local handler and at least three working days' notice.
6Can I take my dog or cat on a private jet to Cuba?
According to published pet travel guidance, Cuba admits dogs and cats without quarantine with a vet's health certificate and a rabies vaccination at least 30 days before arrival, entering through Havana. Coming back, the animal needs a Great Britain pet health certificate, a rabies blood test and a wait before travel, and a dog a tapeworm treatment 24 to 120 hours before landing.
