Hire a Private Jet to Guadeloupe, French Caribbean
Few Caribbean islands take a business jet of any size as easily as Guadeloupe, and the reason is one long strip of tarmac at Pointe-à-Pitre. 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 Guadeloupe that means a choice of aircraft that is wider than on most islands in the Lesser Antilles: a super-midsize jet with a stop in the Azores, or a long-range jet that flies from London to the island without landing.
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 Guadeloupe 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 Farnborough, an Embraer Praetor 600 to Pointe-à-Pitre Le Raizet Airport in Guadeloupe with one technical stop in the Azores, 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 Guadeloupe?
From Farnborough the straight line to Pointe-à-Pitre is 3,697 nautical miles. That is further than a super-midsize jet carries a full cabin, so a Praetor 600 or a Challenger 350 flies it in two legs through Santa Maria in the Azores, 1,400 nautical miles and then 2,384. The stop adds 87 nautical miles to the line and about an hour on the ground. A Falcon 900LX, a Global 6000 or a Gulfstream G550 covers the whole distance in one hop. Guadeloupe keeps UTC-4 all year, which is four hours behind Britain in winter and five in summer. The times below are westbound and count flying time only:
3,784 nautical miles from Farnborough in two legs, with about an hour on the ground at Santa Mariaabout 9 h 15 min plus the stop
3,697 nautical miles from Farnborough in a single hopabout 8 h 15 min
3,697 nautical miles back to Farnborough, with the jet stream behind the aircraftabout 7 h
109 nautical miles down the island chainabout 45 min gate to gate
Why the long runway changes the arithmetic
Many islands in the chain have a runway that limits the choice of aircraft. Pointe-à-Pitre has a single paved runway of 3,129 by 45 metres, and the French aeronautical publication lists it with an instrument landing system. A business jet of any size, with a full transatlantic fuel load, uses a fraction of it.
So the question for a London departure is about range and price, not about whether the airport will take the aircraft. The lowest fare accepts the Azores stop, and a single hop pays for a longer-range jet.
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 Guadeloupe
Typical charter prices from Britain, cheapest first. The lower rows are super-midsize jets with one stop in the Azores. The upper end is long-range jets flying non-stop:
| Route | Aircraft | Price, one way |

| London Gatwick - Guadeloupe 3,718 nm / 6,886 km, non-stop |
Gulfstream G550 up to 16 |
from £106,350 |
Two things worth knowing about these figures
– The gap between the cheapest and the dearest row is the price of skipping the stop and of a bigger cabin. A Praetor 600 from Farnborough starts at £59,550, a Falcon 900LX non-stop from Biggin Hill is about £93,300, and a Gulfstream G550 from Gatwick about £106,350;
– A one-way price carries the aircraft's journey home, because the jet has to cross the Atlantic again whether it carries you or not. A stay of a week or two booked as a return, or a flexible date that catches an empty leg, changes the arithmetic more than any negotiation. Air Passenger Duty is shown as a separate line in the quotation.
Private jet flights from Guadeloupe to its neighbours
Dominica lies to the south and Antigua to the north, so a week on the island often includes a day elsewhere. The aircraft in the table follow the distance, and the runway at the far end is checked before we propose a type:

Which of these are border crossings
Martinique is another French overseas department, so the French rules carry over. Dominica, Antigua, Saint Lucia and Barbados are separate countries with their own entry rules, and Sint Maarten is Dutch.
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. These are the typical choices for Guadeloupe:
Turboprops
The aircraft for the islands, not for the crossing: the hops to Dominica, Antigua or Marie-Galante.
Light jets
They suit the island chain, but no light jet makes the crossing from Britain.
Super-midsize
The class that sets the lowest price on this page, with one stop in the Azores.
Heavy jets
More cabin for a family with staff; with the stop, the cost rises with the size.
Ultra-long range
The class that crosses in one hop from London to Pointe-à-Pitre and lands on a runway that has room to spare.

Business aviation airports for Guadeloupe
For a jet from Britain there is one answer, Pointe-à-Pitre. The French aeronautical information publication names three handling agents for general aviation: Caraïbes Handling, Gwad'Air and AMS Airport Management Services. Directories also list Jetex as a flight support organisation for the airport.
| Airport | Ground | How it operates |
|---|---|---|
| Pointe-à-Pitre Le Raizet (Maryse Condé) PTP / TFFR |
Les Abymes, about 2.4 km north-north-east of Pointe-à-Pitre | The airport we use for every flight from London, and one that takes a business jet of any size. One paved runway, 12/30, 3,129 by 45 metres (10,266 by 148 feet), elevation 35 feet, with an ILS on runway 12. Take-off and landing are prohibited when runway visual range falls below 800 metres. The administration, customs and ground handling are listed at 10:00 to 04:00 UTC (06:00 to midnight local), and the control tower works round the clock. Handling is mandatory, and a directory lists slots as required, so we request both with the flight |
| Saint-François SFC / TFFC |
South-eastern tip of Grande-Terre | A small aerodrome with a single asphalt runway of 600 metres, which rules out business jets. It is mentioned in the French aeronautical publication as the neighbouring field at the eastern edge of the Pointe-à-Pitre control zone |
| Marie-Galante GBJ |
Marie-Galante island, a short hop south-east of Grande-Terre | Reached by turboprop. A Guadeloupe commuter operator lists charters between Pointe-à-Pitre and Marie-Galante with Cessna Grand Caravans, quoted on request. Not an airport for a London jet |
| Martinique Aimé Césaire FDF / TFFF |
109 nautical miles to the south, on the neighbouring island | The international airport of the next island, linked to Pointe-à-Pitre by scheduled flights. Useful when a trip begins on Martinique and ends on Guadeloupe, or the other way round, and as a sector in the table above |
Opening hours in local time
The airport administration and customs are listed from 10:00 to 04:00 UTC, which is 06:00 to midnight in Guadeloupe. Fuelling is listed from 10:00 to 02:00 UTC (06:00 to 22:00 local), and outside those hours on request.
Fuel and rescue cover
Jet A1 and avgas are listed. Rescue and fire fighting is category 9 from 17:00 to 03:00 UTC (13:00 to 23:00 local) and category 7 for the rest of the day, which is more than any business jet needs.
Noise and weather rules
Jet departures from runway 12 stay on the runway axis up to 2,000 feet and 3.5 nautical miles from the Pointe-à-Pitre VOR before turning, and a crosswind above 25 knots on a dry runway or 20 knots on a wet one prohibits take-off and landing.
What the airport does not list
The publication lists no hangar for visiting aircraft, so a jet that stays for the week parks on the apron with engines shut down, and general aviation has a stand reserved for it. Police formalities for general aviation are handled at the North Terminal, with a minibus listed for four passengers. No separate private terminal is listed, and we confirm with the handler what waits for your party on the day.
Arriving from Britain: passports, customs and what to carry
Guadeloupe is a French overseas department and part of the European Union, but it is not part of the Schengen Area. A private flight from London arrives as an international flight, and everyone aboard goes through border control at Pointe-à-Pitre.
your passport must be valid for at least three months after the date you plan to leave Guadeloupe; British citizens need no visa for up to 90 days for tourism or businessevery passenger, children included
the French publication requires flight notices and the general declaration to be sent to the customs liaison centre 24 hours before arrival, and the handler files them with the flight planwe arrange it
strict rules apply to goods entering the island; prohibited, taxed or dutiable items are declared, and meat, milk and their products cannot be brought in, with exceptions for baby milk, baby food and special medical foodsdeclare when in doubt
The way home
Coming back is a flight into Britain from outside the country. 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, while most other nationalities do.
A dog travelling home needs its tapeworm treatment from a vet within the window before landing, which the pets section explains.
Guadeloupe: what our clients go for
The two main islands, Grande-Terre and Basse-Terre, are separated by a narrow channel and look like a butterfly on the map. The archipelago covers 1,628 square kilometres, around 380,000 people live on it, and French is the official language, with Guadeloupean Creole widely spoken.
Grande-Terre is the one with the beaches, and Basse-Terre is the one with the mountains. La Grande Soufrière, an active volcano of 1,467 metres, is the highest peak in the Lesser Antilles, and the Guadeloupe National Park covers much of the forested interior. Tourism is a major source of income, and most visitors come from mainland France and North America.
The year in Guadeloupe: dry months and hurricane months
The calendar splits into two main seasons, with the hurricane risk sitting inside the second:
the dry season, with sunshine, lower humidity and trade-wind breezes; the tourist office calls it the high season, and February and March are the driest monthspeak
the green season begins, warmer and more humid with short afternoon showers; crowds are moderate and prices are gentlershoulder
the wettest months, with October the rainiest, and the lowest crowds of the year; the Atlantic hurricane season runs from June to November and peaks in August and Septemberlow season, hurricane risk
The best weeks are also the dearest weeks
Christmas, the New Year and the Carnival weekends are the dates when demand is highest, and aircraft are scarcest. The figures on this page describe an ordinary week, with a Falcon 900LX from Biggin Hill at £93,300 one way. In the hurricane months we keep dates flexible.
The Guadeloupe calendar: carnival, cooks and a transatlantic race
These are the dated events worth planning around, listed by their usual month:
What an event does to a flight plan
Carnival weekends and the race finish fill villas and rental cars. We book the handler, the parking and the transfer with the flight, and a dated event is the worst week to ask for an aircraft at short notice.
Flying to Guadeloupe with a dog or a cat
Guadeloupe is part of the European Union for pet travel, so the rules that apply on arrival are the EU rules for a pet coming from Britain. A pet passport issued in Great Britain is not valid for entry, and the animal needs an animal health certificate for each trip.
The two facts to read before you book
The animal needs a microchip, fitted before or at the same time as the rabies vaccine. The vaccine is given from 12 weeks of age, and the animal can travel 21 days after it. The animal health certificate is issued by an official vet and is valid for 10 days for entry. A pet travel directory lists Pointe-à-Pitre as the entry point for animals, and we confirm the entry point and the paperwork in writing before the flight.
On the way home Guadeloupe is a listed country for the British rules. The animal returns on a pet passport, an animal health certificate or a Great Britain pet health certificate, and a dog needs tapeworm treatment from a vet no less than 24 hours and no more than 120 hours before landing in Britain. A pet that does not meet the rules can be held in quarantine for up to four months, so the vet appointment on the island is booked before the trip.
- A directory notes that American Staffordshire terrier and pit bull types, mastiff types and the Japanese tosa are banned, and that rottweilers and pedigree Staffordshire and tosa types are restricted under French law;
- No more than five animals travel with one traveller;
Requirements for birds, rabbits and the less usual 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. A charter across the Atlantic is one-way by nature, and the aircraft has to get home or to its next client.
Where empty legs to and from the island come from
– December and the weeks after Christmas, when aircraft cross with a full cabin and head home empty, or are sent out empty to collect guests;
– The weeks around Carnival, when a heavy jet brings a family out and flies home empty a few days later.
A client who can offer a few days has a far better chance of a match. Whatever is free is listed on our empty legs page. A selection of empty legs on the Guadeloupe routes follows:
| Route | Aircraft | Capacity | Whole aircraft |
|---|---|---|---|
| Guadeloupe - UK (London Farnborough) | Praetor 600 | 9 seats | £25,000 |
| UK (London Gatwick) - Guadeloupe | Praetor 600 | 9 seats | £25,100 |
| Guadeloupe - UK (London Luton) | Praetor 600 | 9 seats | £25,200 |
| UK (Belfast) - Guadeloupe | Challenger 350 | 9 seats | £29,250 |
| Guadeloupe - UK (Belfast) | Falcon 900LX | 12 seats | £37,600 |
| UK (London Biggin Hill) - Guadeloupe | Falcon 900LX | 12 seats | £39,200 |
Each price is for the whole aircraft rather than per seat. A Falcon 900LX leg of £37,600 with eight aboard works out at about £4,700 a head. Empty legs on a transatlantic corridor are less regular than on a busy European one, so treat them as a bonus and not as a plan.
Helicopter charter
We do not list a regular helicopter charter operator based on Guadeloupe. The aeronautical publication for Pointe-à-Pitre says that the helicopter landing area at the airport is reserved for State helicopters, so a private helicopter would be arranged case by case, from an operator on a neighbouring island, with the landing site and any clearance agreed beforehand.
Why a turboprop is usually the better answer
The islands of the archipelago lie close together, and a commuter operator lists Grand Caravan charters between Pointe-à-Pitre and Marie-Galante. For an outer island a turboprop is usually simpler than a helicopter, and we price both when a client asks.
Flights from the UK to Guadeloupe
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.

Guadeloupe charters from the booking notes: six typical trips
Six typical jobs put together from booking notes with the particulars changed, so none describes one named client or date.
CHRISTMAS · A FAMILY OF SIX
Ten days on the south coast
Farnborough - Guadeloupe via the Azores, Praetor 600, about 9 h 15 min plus the stop · 6 pax
The family left on the Saturday before Christmas, stopped at Santa Maria for fuel and an hour on the ground, and landed at Pointe-à-Pitre in the afternoon. The return was booked as a separate one-way ten days later.
CARNIVAL · FOUR FRIENDS
A non-stop crossing
Biggin Hill - Guadeloupe, Falcon 900LX, about 9 h 05 min · 4 pax
The group wanted no stop, a heavy cabin and a late-morning arrival, so the jet left Biggin Hill at dawn. A car was waiting at the handler for the drive to the hotel.
A RACE FINISH · EIGHT GUESTS
Waiting for the fleet
Gatwick - Guadeloupe, Gulfstream G550, about 8 h 15 min · 8 pax
An owner's party flew out to meet a competitor at the finish of a transatlantic race. The jet stayed on the apron for the week, which is why we booked the parking with the flight.
A SHORT HOP · TWO GUESTS
From Guadeloupe to Dominica
Guadeloupe - Dominica, Pilatus PC-12 NGX, about 40 min gate to gate · 2 pax
Two guests spent a night in the rainforest on Dominica and returned to Pointe-à-Pitre the next afternoon, in time for the long-range jet home.
WITH THE DOG · PAPERWORK FIRST
A couple, a labrador and a month in the sun
Farnborough - Guadeloupe via the Azores, Praetor 600, about 9 h 15 min plus the stop · 2 pax + dog
The animal health certificate was issued within its ten-day window before departure, and the tapeworm appointment for the return was booked on the island before the first week was over.
EMPTY LEG · THE END OF THE SEASON
A flexible return to Belfast
Guadeloupe - Belfast, Challenger 350 empty leg, about 7 h 40 min plus the stop · 3 pax
The client gave us a window of four days instead of a date, which is what makes these work, and paid about £29,250, well under half of a fresh one-way charter on the same sector, for a Thursday departure.
Frequently asked questions about flying to Guadeloupe
1How long does it take to fly to Guadeloupe by private jet?
About 9 hours 05 minutes non-stop from a London airfield in a Falcon 900LX, and about 9 hours 15 minutes in a Praetor 600 plus about an hour on the ground in the Azores. The way home is shorter with the jet stream behind the aircraft.
2How much does a private jet to Guadeloupe cost?
From about £59,550 one way from Farnborough in a Praetor 600 with a stop in the Azores. A Falcon 900LX non-stop from Biggin Hill is about £93,300. Air Passenger Duty is shown as a separate line in the quotation.
3Which airport do private jets use for Guadeloupe?
Pointe-à-Pitre Le Raizet (PTP, TFFR), also called Maryse Condé, is the airport for business jets. Its single runway is 3,129 by 45 metres, handling is mandatory, and the handling agents named in the French aeronautical publication are Caraïbes Handling, Gwad'Air and AMS Airport Management Services.
4What are the passport and customs rules for a private flight from Britain to Guadeloupe?
British citizens need no visa for a stay of up to 90 days, and the passport must be valid for at least three months after the planned departure. Guadeloupe is outside the Schengen Area, and everyone aboard clears border control at Pointe-à-Pitre. A flight notice and general declaration go to customs 24 hours before arrival.
