Private jet charter in Finland

A light jet leaves a London airfield after breakfast and lands in Helsinki around midday on the Finnish clock, but the Finland that private clients actually fly to often lies four hundred nautical miles beyond the capital. Private Jets UK plans Finnish charters around that split: the capital and its airport open all night, and an Arctic string of airfields with shorter hours, no hangars and a winter that sets the timetable. 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 Finland that means picking the right field for the purpose, warning customs four hours ahead at the regional airports, fixing the handler and the slot before the quote goes out, and checking the permissions a British operator needs before it may fly there.

 

 

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 Finland 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, an Embraer Phenom 300E to Helsinki-Vantaa 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 Finland?

Finland keeps Eastern European time, two hours ahead of Britain all year, because both countries change their clocks on the same weekends. Distance is the real issue. Helsinki is a long run for a light jet by European standards and Lapland adds up to forty-five minutes more. These are the sectors from London Luton on a light jet, 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.

 

 

Prices for the private jet flights to Finland

Typical private jet charter prices from Britain into Finland, listed cheapest first. Helsinki sets the entry price for the capital, since every aircraft type can land there at any hour. Tampere and Turku cost less because they are closer, and the Lapland airports cost more in proportion to the extra distance north:

 

 

Private jet flights within Finland and to its neighbours

Finland is long and thin, and the road from Helsinki to Rovaniemi takes most of a day. A charter jet turns that into a morning. These are the hops we are asked for, and the neighbouring capitals that clients add to a Finnish 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 Finland:

 

 

Because the internal sectors need an EU-registered aircraft, the quote for a trip that crosses Finland often names a Nordic or Baltic base as the place the second aircraft starts from.

Business aviation airports in Finland

Finland has one airport that never closes and takes every aircraft type, Helsinki-Vantaa, and a chain of regional fields run by Finavia that serve Tampere, Turku, Oulu and Lapland. The Finnish AIP gives its times in UTC with the summer timetable in brackets, and Finland is two hours ahead of UTC in winter and three in summer, so the table gives local time where a time is stated. The old city airfield at Helsinki-Malmi no longer operates, and the AIP lists twenty-one aerodromes as the points where a flight from outside Schengen may first land:

 

Five rules settle most Finnish arrivals before a quote goes out:

 

Arriving from Britain: passports, customs and what to carry

Finland belongs to the European Union and to Schengen, and Britain belongs to neither. A private flight from London therefore arrives as a flight from outside both. The border is dealt with at the Finnish airport where you land, and that airport must be one of the border crossing points on the national list. The operator, or the pilot through the flight plan, notifies the border guard and customs, and the General Declaration is accepted as the clearance document.

 

 

Which airport for which part of Finland

Finland is long, so the arrival airport is nearly always settled by one address: the head office in Espoo, the hotel in Levi, the glass igloo at Saariselkä. These are the usual pairings:

 

Helsinki, the lakes and Lapland: what our clients go for

Helsinki is where the business is. The capital region produces roughly a third of the national output, and Nokia, Kone and Marimekko grew from roots in the city. Tampere, the third city, is an industrial centre, and about 80 percent of Finnish industry lies within two hours of it. Many Finnish flights are therefore two-night trips: a meeting in Helsinki or Espoo, a dinner, the same aircraft home the next morning.

Helsinki leisure is built on the sea and on design. Suomenlinna, the sea fortress on a group of islands off the harbour, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Helsinki Cathedral stands on Senate Square, and the capital has been named a World Design Capital and a UNESCO Design City. Finland counts at least two million saunas for 5.6 million people, and the sauna is on UNESCO's intangible heritage list, so a public sauna by the sea is a fixture on a weekend break. Daylight ranges from about six hours at midwinter to nearly nineteen at midsummer, and clients plan around it.

Lapland is the other half of the market. Rovaniemi and its Santa Claus Village sit on the Arctic Circle and fill with charter flights from Britain and elsewhere before Christmas. Levi and Ylläs, around Kittilä, are ski resorts with long seasons: Levi opens in October on stored snow and runs into May. Saariselkä, near Ivalo, lies farther north, and Ruka near Kuusamo hosts Nordic skiing World Cup events. Visitors also come for the northern lights, which are visible from the end of August to the start of April, and for the midnight sun in June and July.

Outside the resorts the country is made for the lake cottage. Savonlinna's Olavinlinna castle, built in the fifteenth century, hosts the opera festival. Mänttä-Vilppula, 97 km from Tampere, has a museum with the Serlachius collection. And Tampere's Rajaportti, the oldest working public sauna in Finland, is a short taxi ride from the centre.

 

The Finnish year: white winter, white nights

Finland has two flying seasons that matter to a charter client, a long winter in which Lapland dominates and a short bright summer in which the cities and lakes take over:

 

The Finnish calendar: light festivals, start-ups and the Christmas season

The dated events are few, but each pulls hard on one airport:

 

 

Flying to Finland with a dog or a cat

A dog or cat travels in the cabin, and the paperwork is the ordinary European set with one Finnish addition for dogs. Two things need planning: the airport where the animal is presented, and the date of the dog's worming treatment before it enters the country.

 

• 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;
• An Animal Health Certificate from an official vet, issued no more than ten days before arrival in the EU and valid for the return as stated on the certificate. A British pet passport cannot be used;
• No more than five animals per traveller, and more than that, or an animal travelling without its owner, is treated as a commercial consignment;
• For a dog, the tapeworm treatment described above, given in Britain inside the 24 to 120 hour window and recorded on the certificate.

In the north, a vet may be a long way from the hotel, and a clinic in Levi or Rovaniemi is not something to find on the day, so a dog that needs a vet during the trip is a reason to book ahead. A dog in a Lapland hotel or igloo is something to agree with the hotel before the flight is booked. 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. Finland produces them in a pattern: an aircraft that takes a group north comes back empty, and the aircraft sent to collect the group flies out empty.

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 Finnish empty legs follows:

 

 

 

Helicopter charter

Helicopter work in Finland is shaped by the distances and the weather more than by any local ban. A helicopter that arrives from outside Schengen faces the same rule as a jet: it must first land at one of the listed border crossing points, and a lodge landing site needs written border permission applied for 14 days ahead. Inside the country, with an EU-registered machine, these are the sectors we are asked about:

The times are straight-line estimates at a cruise of about 115 knots, and the operator confirms the route for your date.

 

 

Flights from the UK to Finland

Luton, Stansted, Biggin Hill, Farnborough and London City send most of the traffic on this corridor, with Southampton, Birmingham and Manchester behind them, and Newcastle, Edinburgh and Aberdeen nearer to Finland by 60 to 120 nautical miles; 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.
