Private jet charter in Fiji
A private jet from London to Fiji has to cover about 9,100 nautical miles, further than any business jet flies without landing, and the islands lie on the far side of the date line. Private Jets UK plans the trip as two long legs with one stop in the United States, then hands the aircraft to a single handler at Nadi, the gateway where almost every visitor arrives. 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. For Fiji that means a landing permit in good time, a clear plan for the Pacific crossing and an honest list of what the smaller islands can and cannot take.

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 Fiji 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 Luton, a Bombardier Global 6000 to Nadi International Airport with one technical stop at Seattle Boeing Field, 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 Fiji?
The straight line from Luton to Nadi is about 8,760 nautical miles, while the longest-range business jets are published at 7,500 to 7,700. The route therefore breaks at Seattle: 4,303 nautical miles across the Atlantic and Canada, then 5,283 over the Pacific, about 830 more than the direct line. Fiji keeps UTC+12 all year, twelve hours ahead of Britain in winter and eleven in summer. Times are westbound and count flying time only:
9,586 nautical miles from Luton in two legs, with about an hour on the ground at Boeing Fieldabout 21 h 20 min plus the stop
9,586 nautical miles, helped by the prevailing westerly winds on the Atlanticabout 18 h 05 min plus the stop
5,283 nautical miles of open ocean with no airport on the wayabout 11 h 45 min
128 nautical miles to the north coast of Vanua Levu, gate to gateabout 1 h
The day that goes missing
A Global 6000 that leaves Luton at eight in the morning in winter spends about 21 hours 20 minutes in the air and an hour in Seattle. Fiji is twelve hours ahead, so the aircraft touches down at Nadi at about six in the evening, and by the calendar in Fiji it is already the next day. An earlier departure brings the landing before dusk, which matters for the road transfer.
The way home is the opposite. Leaving Nadi at eight in the morning, the same aircraft flies about 18 hours 05 minutes plus the stop and lands in Britain at about three in the afternoon of the same calendar day in winter, because the clocks fall back twelve hours.
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 Fiji
Typical private jet charter prices from Britain to Nadi, cheapest first. Every row is a long-range jet with one stop at Seattle. The London rows use the Global 6000, the middle rows a Gulfstream G550 and the last two a Gulfstream G650ER:

Three things worth knowing about these figures
– From Luton a Global 6000 with the stop at Seattle starts at £254,900. A Global 7500 on the same routing comes to £324,050, and a Gulfstream G550 from Edinburgh to £259,550;
– The Seattle to Nadi leg of 5,283 nautical miles is close to the limit of a Global 6000, and the winds decide whether it flies in one hop. When they do not allow it, the crew adds a landing at Honolulu, which leaves the total at about 9,593 nautical miles. The G550, G650ER and Global 7500 carry more margin on this leg;
– A one-way price carries the aircraft's journey home, so a single outbound flight is priced close to half of a return trip. Air Passenger Duty is charged per passenger on a departure from a British airport and is shown as a separate line in the quotation.
Private jet flights within Fiji and to its neighbours
The country has more than 330 islands, and the jets land on Viti Levu. Everything else is a turboprop affair: the airfields on Vanua Levu and Taveuni have runways of roughly 900 to 1,100 metres. The table shows what the useful hops look like from Nadi:
| Route | Aircraft | Flight time | Price, one way |
|---|---|---|---|
| Nadi - Savusavu 128 nm / 237 km |
Pilatus PC-12 NGX up to 9 |
about 1 h | from £3,100 |
| Nadi - Taveuni (Matei) 173 nm / 320 km |
Pilatus PC-12 NGX up to 9 |
about 1 h 10 min | from £3,100 |
| Nadi - Labasa 139 nm / 257 km |
King Air 350 up to 9 |
about 1 h | from £3,650 |
| Nadi - Suva (Nausori) 69 nm / 128 km |
Citation CJ4 Gen2 up to 8 |
about 40 min | from £5,950 |
| Nadi - Nouméa (New Caledonia) 711 nm / 1,317 km |
Citation XLS+ up to 9 |
about 2 h 10 min | from £12,400 |
| Nadi - Auckland (New Zealand) 1,211 nm / 2,243 km |
Challenger 350 up to 9 |
about 3 h 10 min | from £24,350 |
| Nadi - Sydney (Australia) 1,780 nm / 3,297 km |
Challenger 350 up to 9 |
about 4 h 25 min | from £34,450 |
Two things worth knowing about the sectors inside Fiji
– The jet stays at Nadi. A party that wants Savusavu, Labasa or Taveuni changes to a Pilatus PC-12 or a King Air, and we price that leg separately from the long-haul charter;
– Suva is the capital but not the gateway. Nausori has a 2,148 metre runway and takes jets, yet it is listed as an airport of entry on request only, so the usual plan is to clear customs at Nadi and drive the 190 km or fly on.
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. We will help you choose a suitable model taking into account your wishes. For Fiji the choice follows the distance:
Turboprops
Not for the crossing. They belong on the short hops to Savusavu, Labasa, Taveuni and the Mamanuca strips once you are in Fiji.
Mid-size jets
Regional aircraft here, for Suva, Nouméa, Auckland or Sydney. From Britain they would need several extra stops, so we do not offer them for the whole journey.
Ultra-long range
The class that makes the trip practical. The Global 6000 is the entry point for the Seattle routing; the others add cabin size and fuel margin.

Business aviation airports in Fiji
Nadi is the answer for a long-haul jet. It has the runway, the handler, the fuel and the border officers, and the other fields lack one of those or are too short. The table lists the fields on either side:
| Airport | Ground | How it operates |
|---|---|---|
| Nadi International NAN / NFFN |
North-east of Nadi town, west side of Viti Levu | The gateway and the only airport we plan a long-haul jet into. The main runway, 02/20, is listed at roughly 3,200 to 3,300 metres, the second, 09/27, at about 2,100. Both are asphalt, with ILS, VOR and NDB approaches, and terrain is noted to the north-west. Open around the clock, with Jet A-1 and avgas |
| Handling Air Terminal Services; Aero Adapt |
At the airport | Directories list Air Terminal Services as the ground handler at Nadi and Aero Adapt as a second handler in the arrivals terminal. Fuel suppliers prefer 24 hours' notice, so we place the handler with the permit request, not after it |
| Customs, immigration, quarantine On site at Nadi |
Arrival hall of the terminal | Operator guidance describes round-the-clock customs, immigration and quarantine, with private arrivals cleared in the arrival hall in lines separate from the scheduled passengers and no clearance on board. The cabin is sprayed with an approved insecticide at the top of descent |
| Suva (Nausori) SUV / NFNA |
69 nautical miles east of Nadi, about 23 km from central Suva | A 2,148 metre runway after its extension, so a business jet can land. Listed as an airport of entry on request, open from 0530 to 2100 local time, with overtime needing 48 hours' notice and the border agencies at least 24 hours. A realistic alternate and a base for business in the capital, not the gateway |
| Island airfields Savusavu, Labasa, Taveuni (Matei), Malolo Lailai, Mana |
Vanua Levu, Taveuni and the Mamanuca group | Short runways: Savusavu is listed at about 1,000 metres, Labasa at 1,073, Matei at 910, and Malolo Lailai has 640 metres of dirt. Turboprops serve them, none is an airport of entry, and a business jet does not belong on any |
| Seattle Boeing Field BFI / KBFI |
5,283 nautical miles from Nadi | Our stop on the way out. The main runway is 10,007 by 200 feet, the airport is open around the clock and is an airport of entry, and three FBOs are listed. Everyone on board clears United States customs here |
| Auckland and Nouméa AKL / NZAA, NOU / NWWW |
1,211 and 711 nautical miles away | The nearest big airports outside Fiji and the realistic diversion fields for a heavy jet if Nadi is closed |
Permit: two weeks for a charter
The Civil Aviation Authority issues the landing permit. Operator guidance lists 72 hours for a private flight and 14 days for a charter, which also needs the operator's air operator certificate. We plan for the longer period.
Paperwork: stamped and in copies
A general declaration stamped at the last airport of clearance is needed on arrival, listed in six copies, and the crew fill in forms in the hall.
A local business contact is required
The permit request names a local contact, and a resort can serve. Passenger list changes go to the Authority at least 24 hours before departure.
Arriving from Britain: passports, entry rules and what to declare
Fiji is an independent country with its own border rules. A private flight from London arrives as an international flight, lands at Nadi and is cleared in the arrival hall. Only passengers approved by the Ministry of Tourism and the Civil Aviation Authority may get off, and those who arrive on the aircraft leave on it unless approval is given for something else.
valid for at least six months after the date you arrive in Fiji, for every passenger, children includedcheck before booking
no visa is needed for a British passport for a stay of up to four months; a business visitor needs a permit, listed as valid for 21 daysno visa, 4 months
proof of a ticket out is checked at the border; on a private flight that is the itinerary we issue, and we confirm in advance that the border officers accept itagreed beforehand
an approved ESTA or a visa is needed for the landing at Seattle, where everyone on board clears the United Statesapply before departure
all luggage is X-rayed at Nadi, and most fresh food, plants, meat and dairy are confiscated; cash of 10,000 Fijian dollars or more is declareddeclare both
The way home, and the yellow fever certificate
A yellow fever certificate is required only for travellers arriving from a country on the risk list, so a party that adds a stop in such a country carries the certificate.
Coming 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. The stop at Seattle is a second clearance, this time out of the United States.

Getting from the airport to the resorts
Most of the places people want are within an hour or two of the airport by road. The figures start at Nadi town; allow a little more from the airport:
the marina and the large resorts, about 7 km from Nadi townabout 15 min
the sugar city and the harbour to the north, about 24 kmabout 35 min
the south coast resorts, from 55 km at Sigatoka and 47 km at Korotoga55 min to 1 h 05 min
the capital on the south-east coast, about 186 km by the Queens Roadabout 3 h 10 min
Fiji: what our clients go for
Fiji is an archipelago of more than 330 islands, of which about 110 are inhabited, and a little under 900,000 people at the last census. Nearly three-quarters live on Viti Levu, the capital is Suva, and English, Fijian and Hindi are all recognised. The currency is the Fijian dollar.
The Mamanuca group off Nadi, the Coral Coast and Denarau are the areas visitors name first, and diving on the soft coral is a main reason to come.
The case for a private flight is time and control. Scheduled flights reach Nadi from Auckland, Sydney, Melbourne and San Francisco, among others, so the usual way from Britain is a long chain of connections. A private aircraft flies on the day you choose and lands on the same runway as the airlines.
The year in Fiji: dry winter, wet summer
Fiji is warm all year, and the seasons are separated by rain and cyclone risk more than by temperature:
the dry season, with blue skies and little rain, and the busiest weeks in July and August, which coincide with the winter school holidays in Australia and New Zealand; December brings a second rushdry, most popular
the wet season, with January to March the wettest and highs of about 30 degrees; the showers are often briefwet, humid
the months when tropical cyclones are most likely, with heavy rain, strong winds and flooding; cyclones occur about once a yearcyclone risk
Weather is a planning problem, not an exception
A closed runway at Nadi leaves a jet with Nausori and then distant alternates in Auckland or Nouméa. In the cyclone months we keep the return date flexible. The figures on this page, from £254,900 one way, describe an ordinary week.
The Fiji calendar: carnivals, Fiji Day and Diwali
A handful of national and town events fill the hotels and the roads:
What a holiday does to a flight plan
A public holiday shuts the offices that sign the paperwork, and a carnival week fills the hotels around the venue. We book the handler and the transfer with the flight.

Flying to Fiji with a dog or a cat
A pet can reach Fiji from Britain, but not quickly. The Biosecurity Authority of Fiji lists the United Kingdom among the approved origins, and every dog and cat needs an import permit issued before departure and an ISO microchip.
The facts to read before you book
A dog or a cat from the United Kingdom goes into quarantine at the Authority's post-entry station for at least 30 days. Home quarantine is not allowed, and the kennel is booked six to eight weeks before departure.
The listed conditions include a rabies vaccination at least 30 days before export, valid when the animal leaves quarantine, and a rabies antibody titre test with a result of at least 0.5 IU/ml, done 180 to 365 days before export. Some breeds are banned, although the notice does not name them.
- The notice is written for animals travelling as air freight, in crates that meet the IATA container requirement, so whether an animal may travel in the cabin of a private aircraft is something we ask the Authority in writing;
- An animal that does not meet the conditions can be re-exported or destroyed at the importer's expense, and the landing at Seattle brings United States animal rules of its own, which we check before the booking is confirmed.
The way home would be British. A dog must be treated against tapeworm by a vet between 24 and 120 hours before it lands in Britain, and an animal that does not meet the British rules can be refused entry or held in quarantine for up to four months. Whether Fiji counts as a listed or a non-listed country under those rules is checked on gov.uk before any booking.
We confirm in writing the airports and the paperwork for the animal. 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, offered at a fraction of the usual price. On the way to Fiji they are rare, and we say so rather than promise. A jet that has delivered a party to Nadi usually flies home empty, and a jet sent out empty to collect guests is the other source.
A client with an open date has a far better chance of a match, because the whole aircraft goes at about two-fifths of a fresh charter. Whatever is free is listed on our empty legs page. The table gives an idea of the figures:
| Route | Aircraft | Capacity | Whole aircraft |
|---|---|---|---|
| UK (London Luton) - Nadi | Global 6000 | 13 seats | £107,050 |
| Nadi - UK (London Farnborough) | Global 6000 | 13 seats | £107,250 |
| UK (London Biggin Hill) - Nadi | Global 6000 | 13 seats | £107,450 |
| Nadi - UK (Edinburgh) | Gulfstream G550 | 16 seats | £109,000 |
| UK (Manchester) - Nadi | Gulfstream G550 | 16 seats | £110,750 |
| Nadi - UK (Glasgow) | Gulfstream G650ER | 14 seats | £122,550 |
How to read those figures
– Each price is for the whole aircraft rather than per seat. On the Luton sector in a Global 6000 an empty leg would cost about £107,050, which is a guide and not an offer, since the operator owns the date;
– A match on this corridor needs weeks of notice rather than days.

Helicopter charter and air tours
Island Hoppers and Heli-Tours Fiji are both listed with a base at Nadi Airport, the latter also at Denarau, and they fly scenic trips over the Mamanuca islands and the mountains of the interior, resort transfers and day trips.
The flights are short, from about ten minutes round Denarau to half an hour over the Mount Evans range, and the AS355 listed by one operator seats two to five passengers. We ask the operator for availability and the landing site before we quote.

Flights from the UK to Fiji
We fly this corridor from every British airfield in the list below, and 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.

Fiji charters from the booking notes: two typical trips
Two typical jobs put together from booking notes with the particulars changed, so none describes one named client or date.
JULY · A FAMILY OF SIX
School holidays on Denarau
Luton - Nadi via Seattle, Global 6000, about 21 h 20 min plus the stop · 6 pax
The family left early so that the aircraft landed before dusk. Passports were checked for six months beyond the return, and ESTA approvals were in place for Seattle.
ONWARD · SAVUSAVU · FOUR GUESTS
From the gateway to the north coast
Nadi - Savusavu, Pilatus PC-12 NGX, about 1 h · 4 pax
The party cleared customs at Nadi, and the long-range jet stayed on the apron. A turboprop took them to the short runway on Vanua Levu, since a business jet cannot use it.
Frequently asked questions about flying to Fiji
1How long does it take to fly to Fiji by private jet?
About 21 hours 20 minutes of flying from London in a Global 6000, plus about an hour on the ground at Seattle. The return takes about 18 hours 05 minutes of flying.
2How much does a private jet to Fiji cost?
From about £254,900 one way from London Luton in a Bombardier Global 6000 with one technical stop at Seattle Boeing Field. A Global 7500 from Luton comes to about £324,050. Air Passenger Duty is shown as a separate line in the quotation.
3Which airport do private jets use in Fiji?
Nadi International (NAN, NFFN) on the west side of Viti Levu. It has a main runway of about 3,200 metres, Jet A-1 fuel and round-the-clock customs, immigration and quarantine. Nausori near Suva takes jets too, but only as an airport of entry on request.
4What are the entry rules for a British passenger on a private flight to Fiji?
No visa for up to four months. The passport must be valid for at least six months after arrival, and proof of a ticket out is checked. The aircraft needs a landing permit, listed at 14 days for a charter, and an ESTA or a visa is needed for the landing at Seattle.
5Can I take my dog or cat on a private jet to Fiji?
It is possible but slow: an import permit, a microchip, a rabies titre test and at least 30 days in quarantine in Fiji. The rules are written for air freight, so we ask the Authority in writing about travel in the cabin.
6When is the best time to fly to Fiji, and how early should I book?
May to October is dry and the most popular, with July and August the busiest. November to April is wet, with cyclone risk in January and February. Book as soon as the dates are known.
