Private jet charter in Georgia

Georgia lies where the Black Sea meets the main Caucasus ridge, and from London that means roughly two thousand nautical miles, a distance that settles the type of aircraft before anything else is discussed. We mean the country in the Caucasus, with Tbilisi as its capital, and the booking runs differently from a trip to Europe: a landing permit has to be filed with the Georgian civil aviation authority, light jets fuel in Istanbul, and the airports on the coast and in the west are as useful as the capital's. Private Jets UK plans each Georgian charter around those points. 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 Georgia that service continues on the ground, because the places people come for - a wine cellar in Kakheti, a ski slope above 2,000 metres, a mountain church under Kazbek - are rarely close to a runway.

 

 

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 Georgia 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, an Embraer Phenom 300E with a fuel stop in Istanbul to Tbilisi 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 Georgia?

Georgia runs on a single clock all year, four hours ahead of Britain in winter and three hours ahead in British summer, so a morning departure lands in the evening on local time. These are the sectors from British airfields to Tbilisi, gate to gate, with the stop counted where a light jet needs one:

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 Georgia

Typical private jet prices from Britain to Tbilisi, cheapest first. Every row lands at Shota Rustaveli airport, and the rows for the light jets include the fuel stop in Istanbul. The table rises with the distance and with the size of the cabin, and the gap between classes is wider than the gap between airfields:

 

 

Private jet flights within Georgia and to its neighbours

Georgia is a country of short hops and long drives. A client who lands at Tbilisi and wants to be in Batumi by lunch can do it in under an hour in the air, where the road takes most of a day. The sectors we are asked for are those internal links, the crossings into Armenia and Azerbaijan, and the longer trips that use Tbilisi as a base for Istanbul, the Mediterranean or the Gulf:

 

 

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

Business aviation airports in Georgia

Georgia has three airports that matter to a jet from Britain, a pair of small airfields that matter to the mountains, and a long list of fields that matter to nobody outside the country. Tbilisi takes the capital, Batumi the sea and Kutaisi the west:

 

Four rules settle most Georgian arrivals before a quote goes out:

 

Arriving from Britain: passports, customs and what to carry

Georgia is outside the European Union and Schengen, so a flight from London lands as an ordinary international arrival. The formalities run through the passenger terminal or the VIP lounge, and the handler walks the party through them.

 

 

Which airport for which part of Georgia

The country is about the size of Ireland, and three airports cover it. The question is which one saves the longest drive, and for some places the honest answer is a helicopter:

 

Tbilisi, the wine country and the mountains: what our clients go for

Tbilisi holds nearly a third of the country's population, about 1.4 million people, in a bowl-shaped valley between 380 and 770 metres above the sea. The Old Town is compact enough to cover on foot: the Narikala fortress above it, the Sioni Cathedral, the Metekhi church, the Sameba Cathedral across the river, the Bridge of Peace and the sulphur baths of Abanotubani, which give the city its name by tradition.

Business is the first reason to come. Delegations, investors and the lawyers who follow them set the pattern: arrive in the evening, meet through the next day, fly out on the second night.

Wine is the second. Georgia counts more than five hundred grape varieties and makes wine in clay vessels called qvevri, and most commercial producers sit in Kakheti, in the Alazani valley east of the capital. A private group usually flies in on a Thursday, spends two nights in a guesthouse among the vines and leaves on the Sunday.

The mountains are the third. Gudauri has lifts up to about 3,300 metres, heli-skiing and paragliding, and the season runs from December into April. Bakuriani, Tetnuldi near Mestia and Goderdzi give other slopes. In summer the same valleys turn to hiking, with Kazbegi National Park among the most visited protected areas, and Ushguli in Upper Svaneti, a UNESCO village, is a long day from anywhere.

The coast is the fourth. Batumi has a boulevard of sculptures and glass towers, a botanical garden to the north of the centre and a winter that rarely turns cold. For a private client it works as a summer base, and it is the cheapest of the three international gateways to reach from Britain.

 

The Georgian year: ski season, harvest and the Black Sea summer

Georgia has no single flying season. Tbilisi works all year, while the places around it follow the weather:

 

The Georgian calendar: snow, grapes and sea

The dated events are few, and each one pulls on a different part of the country:

 

 

Flying to Georgia with a dog or a cat

A dog or cat travels in the cabin, and the paperwork comes in two halves of very different weight: a light one for Georgia and a heavy one for the way home. Georgia appears on neither of Britain's lists of countries for pet entry, and that is the fact to read before you book.

• An ISO-standard microchip, fitted before the rabies vaccination;
• A rabies vaccination given when the animal was at least 12 weeks old, at least 30 days before arrival in Georgia and kept in date;
• A veterinary health certificate from an official vet, issued no more than five days before travel; dogs and cats are also expected to be up to date with the core vaccines, which one guide lists for the 11 months before entry;
• For the way home, the blood test and three-month wait described above, a Great Britain pet health certificate dated within ten days of arrival and, for a dog, the tapeworm treatment;
• A pet that travels without its owner needs an import permit and is handled as a consignment.

Cats need the same list without the worming. Georgia itself asks for no tapeworm treatment on the way in, and a local guide notes that an export veterinary certificate from the National Food Agency may be needed when an animal leaves the country, so we check that point with the handler as well. We confirm in writing that the animal will be presented at the airport of arrival, and we check the dates of the blood test with your own vet before the aircraft 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. A journey of this length is one-way by nature for many clients, which is why Georgia produces more of them than its size suggests.

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 Georgian empty legs follows:

 

 

 

Helicopter charter

In Georgia a helicopter turns a day on mountain roads into less than an hour. Local operators fly the Airbus H125, which seats five passengers, for passenger transport, rescue and medical flights, and heli-skiing in the resort zones is run under licences issued by the Georgian civil aviation authority for named areas. Sightseeing flights are sold from Tbilisi too: one tour seller lists a two-hour Kazbegi day for a group of up to five, which flies over Mtskheta, Ananuri fortress and the Zhinvali reservoir and lands beside Gergeti Trinity Church. These are our own planning times from Tbilisi in good weather:

The times assume a cruise of about 115 knots and move with the weather, the wind and the load, which in the mountains is limited by altitude and temperature. We confirm the route, the number of passengers and the baggage allowance for your date before the offer goes out.

 

 

Flights from the UK to Georgia

Biggin Hill, London City and Luton send the light jets that stop in Istanbul, while Birmingham, Manchester, Leeds, Newcastle, Bristol and the Scottish and Northern Irish airports send the larger cabins that fly nonstop; 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.
