Private Jet Hire from England

Most private flights in England are short: forty minutes from London to Manchester, fifty-five to Newcastle, and under an hour from Paris or Amsterdam to a field on the London side or in the Midlands. Private Jets UK treats the country as two different jobs. One is the visitor who comes in from the Continent, Ireland or further away and wants to land as close as possible to the meeting, the racecourse or the house. The other is the domestic hop, where a jet earns its place only because the road, the rail line or the clock does not fit the day. 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 England that means choosing among dozens of airfields, matching a handler's opening hours to the flight, and planning the last stretch, which is often a helicopter or a car waiting beside the steps.

 

 

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 England 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 Manchester 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 England?

England keeps the clock of Britain and Ireland, Greenwich Mean Time in winter and British Summer Time from spring to autumn, which is an hour behind most of Western and Central Europe. A light jet that leaves Paris at nine in the morning therefore lands before nine by the English clock. These are typical sectors into English airfields, gate to gate:

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.

Typical private jet charter prices into and across England, listed cheapest first. A light jet from London to Manchester sets the entry price, and the table then climbs with the distance and the size of the cabin:

 

 

Private jet flights within England and to its neighbours

England has dozens of airfields that take business jets, and the useful hops are the ones that save a cross-country drive: Cornwall to London, the North East to the south coast, Merseyside to Dublin. These are the sectors we are asked for most, with the neighbours clients add to an English 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 England:

 

 

Because the domestic legs need a British-registered aircraft, the quote for a cross-country day often names Farnborough, Luton, Manchester or Birmingham as the place the aircraft starts from, and the positioning flight to you is priced in.

Business aviation airports in England

England has no single gateway, so the first question on a quote is which of some twenty fields fits the programme. London alone has nine business-aviation airfields, and outside it a dozen regional airports do nearly all of the work. The sixteen rows below are the ones we plan around:

 

Four rules settle most English quotes before they go out:

 

Flying in England: borders, permits and VAT

Inside Great Britain a private flight crosses no border. There is no passport control, no customs and no General Aviation Report between two English airfields, or between England and Scotland or Wales. The handler still takes the passenger names, and photo identification is worth carrying because a handler or an airfield may ask for it. The edges of the rule are these:

 

 

Which airport for which part of England

The airport is nearly always settled by one address: the racecourse, the village in Cornwall, the works near Silverstone. These are the usual pairings:

 

The City, the shires and the sea: what our clients go for

Business takes the first call, and not only in the City and Canary Wharf. MediaCityUK in Salford houses the BBC and ITV in the north, Airbus has its site at Filton in Bristol, and several Formula 1 teams are based near Silverstone, among them Williams at Grove, Mercedes at Brackley and Aston Martin at Silverstone itself. A visit to any of them is a day trip that a jet turns from a night away into a return by supper.

Racing is the second pull, and it is the most seasonal. Cheltenham in March, the Grand National at Aintree in April, Ascot and the Derby in June, Glorious Goodwood at the turn of July and August and York's Ebor meeting in August fill the calendar between them. Cheltenham's temporary heliport, a few hundred metres from the racecourse, has handled more than 400 flights over the four days of the festival.

The sea comes next. The Solent has Cowes Week in the first days of August and the Southampton Boat Show in September, and Southampton is the busiest cruise turnaround port in Northern Europe, with the Red Jet from Town Quay to West Cowes crossing in 22 minutes. On the other coast, Newquay is the Cornish field that takes the largest aircraft, and from it Padstow is about ten miles up the coast and Truro 14 miles to the south-east.

The rest is places people simply like to be: Oxford with its colleges and Blenheim Palace, Blackpool with a 158 metre Tower and the Illuminations from the end of August to early January. None of this needs a long sector, which is why England is flown mostly on light jets and turboprops.

 

The English year: when the fields fill and when the weather closes them

The spring and summer calendar is dense with dated events, while autumn and winter run on business travel and a few fixtures:

 

The English calendar: racing, regattas, motors and festivals

Most dated events fall between March and September, and each pulls on a different airport:

 

 

Flying in England with a dog or a cat

Between two points in Great Britain no import rules apply to a dog or a cat, and the animal travels in the cabin with you. The operator still has the last word on what it carries, so we ask it in advance and confirm in writing. The paperwork begins when the flight leaves Britain or arrives in it.

• An ISO-standard microchip, fitted before or at the same time as the rabies vaccination and never after it;
• A rabies vaccination given when the animal was at least 12 weeks old, with at least 21 days between the vaccination and travel;
• A travel document from a vet in the country of departure: a pet passport, an animal health certificate or a Great Britain pet health certificate, depending on where the journey starts;
• No more than five animals, because a larger number brings the commercial import rules into play;
• For a dog, the tapeworm treatment described above. A dog that travels directly to Great Britain from Ireland, Northern Ireland, Finland, Malta or Norway needs none.

From the Republic of Ireland no approved route is needed, so a flight from Dublin carries lighter paperwork than most. Cats need the same list without the worming.

Requirements for birds, rabbits 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 repositioning flight with nobody aboard, offered at a fraction of the usual price. England produces many, because so many trips into it are one-way and the aircraft has to go home.

A client who can offer a few days 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 English empty legs follows:

 

 

 

Helicopter charter

In England the helicopter is the last mile, not the journey. London has a single licensed heliport, Battersea on the south bank of the Thames, and it has no permanent Border Force presence, so a passenger arriving from abroad clears at the airfield first and takes the helicopter afterwards. Elsewhere the work is a transfer from a jet to a racecourse, a circuit, a house or a boat:

The Battersea times are those quoted by operators; the others are straight-line estimates at a cruise of about 115 knots, and the operator confirms the route for your date.

 

 

UK airports for flights to and within England

Most of the traffic into England starts at the London fields, with Manchester, Birmingham and Southampton behind them and Scotland and Ireland at the long end. The airports below are the ones our clients ask about most. 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.
