Private jet charter in French polynesia

The charter from London to Tahiti is one of the longest we price, about 8,600 nautical miles, and it works because the track passes over California, where a Global 6000 can land to refuel and carry on. Private Jets UK plans the trip as two long legs and a short pause. 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 French Polynesia that means one international gateway at Faa'a, a permission process that starts days or weeks ahead, and honest answers about the islands where a jet cannot land.

 

 

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 French Polynesia 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 Tahiti Faa'a International Airport in Papeete with one technical stop at Van Nuys in California, 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 French Polynesia?

The straight line from Luton to Tahiti is about 8,285 nautical miles, which is beyond the published range of every business jet, so the aircraft lands once. California is the logical place, because the track crosses it. A Global 6000 flies 4,893 nautical miles to Van Nuys, in the Los Angeles basin, and then 3,724 across the Pacific. The stop adds almost nothing to the distance, because the track runs over California anyway. Tahiti keeps UTC-10 all year, ten hours behind Britain in winter and eleven in summer. Times are westbound and count flying time only:

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 French Polynesia

Typical private jet charter prices from Britain to Papeete, cheapest first. Every row is a long-range jet with one stop at Van Nuys. The London rows use the Global 6000, the middle rows a Gulfstream G550 and the last two a Gulfstream G650ER:

 

 

Private jet flights within French Polynesia and to its neighbours

The territory is 121 islands and atolls in five groups, spread across a very large stretch of the South Pacific, but only one airport takes an international arrival. Everything else is reached from Tahiti, either by Air Tahiti's scheduled turboprops or by an aircraft of your own, and the longer sectors lead to the Cook Islands, New Zealand and Hawaii:

 

 

We can arrange the flights from any cities in the UK (England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland) and European countries.

Business aviation airports in French Polynesia

Faa'a is the whole answer for a jet from abroad. It has the long runway, the handlers, the fuel and the border officers, and no other field in the territory has all four. The table lists the fields on either side:

 

 

Arriving from Britain: passports, entry rules and what to declare

French Polynesia is an overseas collectivity of France, outside the European Union and the Schengen area, and it runs its own entry checks. A private flight from London arrives as an international flight at Faa'a, and everyone on board is cleared there before the aircraft goes anywhere else in the territory.

 

 

Getting from the apron to the lagoon

Most guests are bound for the water, not for the capital. The airport sits on Tahiti's northwest coast, and from there the usual pairings are:

 

French Polynesia: what our clients go for

The territory is 121 islands and atolls in five groups, the Society Islands with Tahiti, Moorea and Bora Bora among them, the Tuamotus, the Marquesas, the Gambier Islands and the Australs, with a land area of about 3,500 square kilometres. Some 279,000 people live there, close to seven in ten on Tahiti. French is the official language and the currency is the CFP franc.

Visitors come for the lagoons. Moorea, Bora Bora and the Tuamotu atolls are the pictures on every brochure, and helicopter operators sell flights over Tahiti, Moorea, Bora Bora and the lagoons of Taha'a and Raiatea. Humpback whales pass between July and October, and the surf break at Teahupo'o on Tahiti draws a professional contest in August.

The case for a private flight is practical. The local scheduled fleet is made for island hops, not for guests who want a direct flight on their own day. The main handler positions Tahiti as a technical stop in the middle of the Pacific, about eight and a half flying hours from Los Angeles, for aircraft crossing between the Americas and Australia, Asia or New Zealand. A party that wants its own aircraft on its own day, with a first night at the lagoon, fits that pattern.

 

The year in French Polynesia: dry winter, humid summer

The climate is tropical, and the seasons are described by humidity and rain more than by temperature:

 

The French Polynesia calendar: Heiva, the surf and the canoe races

A handful of events fill the hotels, the ferries and the scheduled seats, and on a small island each of them is felt at once. Dates move from year to year, so these are the usual months:

 

 

Flying to French Polynesia with a dog or a cat

This is a destination where the pet's paperwork is longer than the passenger's. The territory requires prior authorisation from its Biosecurity Directorate, and dogs and cats normally travel as freight and must arrive at Tahiti Faa'a, where an official vet inspects the animal by appointment.

• The conditions for an animal coming from Britain are not published separately, so we do not plan a flight with a pet until the Directorate has confirmed the programme in writing;
• The landing at Van Nuys 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 French Polynesia counts as a listed or a non-listed country under those rules, and so whether a blood test is needed, 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. For Tahiti they are rare, and we say so rather than promise. A jet that has delivered a party to Papeete usually flies home empty over the same two long legs, 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 on this corridor:

 

 

 

Helicopter charter and air tours

Helicopters are part of how guests see the islands. Tahiti Nui Helicopters, an operator based on Tahiti, sells private or shared flights over Tahiti, Moorea and Bora Bora and over the lagoons of Taha'a and Raiatea, with tours listed from 10 to 45 minutes, and the pilot meets the guests on Tahiti, Moorea or Bora Bora.

Faa'a has a small day-use heliport on the aerodrome. For a transfer or a longer charter we ask the operator whether a machine is free on the date and whether the landing site at the far end is approved, and where that cannot be confirmed we propose a boat or the scheduled air link instead.
