Private jet charter in Jersey

Jersey lies about 160 nautical miles from London, a light-jet sector shorter than the flight to Manchester, and yet the island stands outside both the United Kingdom and the European Union. It is a Crown Dependency in the Common Travel Area, with its own customs service, its own goods and services tax and a single 1,706-metre runway that serves airliners and business jets side by side. Private Jets UK plans these flights around that mix. 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 Jersey the details that matter are small ones: a single executive handler to brief before you land, a declaration that reaches both customs and police, and a car that is already waiting when the wheels stop in St Peter.

 

 

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 Jersey 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 Biggin Hill Airport, a Cessna Citation CJ3+ nonstop to Jersey 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 Jersey?

Jersey runs on London time, on Greenwich Mean Time in winter and British Summer Time in summer, so nobody resets a watch on the way. The sectors below are from British airfields to Jersey, 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.

Private jet flights from Jersey to the other islands and the continent

Jersey is the largest of the Channel Islands and the one closest to France: the Cotentin coast is about 22 kilometres away, while Guernsey lies 41 km to the north-west, Alderney 57 km to the north and Cherbourg 74 km to the north-east. The Bailiwick also takes in two groups of rocks, Les Ecrehous and Les Minquiers, which have no airfield and no permanent population. A turboprop covers every island or Normandy hop in half an hour or less, and a jet is not much quicker.

 

 

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:

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. At Jersey the runway is generous by island standards, so the choice follows the party and the luggage more than the pavement, and these are the typical selections:

 

 

For a Jersey booking the best aircraft is seldom on the island. The nearest suitable jet may stand at Biggin Hill, Farnborough, Southampton or Guernsey, so the positioning leg moves the price more than the choice of model does. We look at the whole map before a number is sent.

Business aviation airports in Jersey

Jersey has one airport, and every flight from Britain is built around it. It is a busy regional field with airline traffic all day, which suits a jet in one way, because the services are there, and troubles it in another, because summer weekends crowd the aprons. Guernsey, 22 nautical miles away, is the usual alternative. The facts below come from the airport, its handler and the published guidance, and every opening time is confirmed in writing before a flight:

 

Four points settle most Jersey arrivals before a quote goes out:

 

Arriving from Britain: passports, customs and what to carry

Jersey is a Crown Dependency, not a part of the United Kingdom, and it is outside the European Union, but it belongs to the Common Travel Area with the United Kingdom, Guernsey, the Isle of Man and Ireland. A flight from Britain therefore arrives without a queue at an immigration desk, although customs and tax stop at the water's edge. We confirm in writing who meets the party at the terminal.

 

 

Which part of Jersey the airport serves, and the way on to the other islands

Jersey is small enough that the airport is never far from anything, and the real choice is between the parishes, not between airports. For the other islands and the coast of France the boat takes over, and its timetable decides the plan:

 

St Helier, the finance houses and the Jersey table: what our clients go for

About 104,000 people live on Jersey, roughly a third of them in St Helier, and the island of about 120 square kilometres is divided into twelve parishes, each led by a connétable. It governs itself through the States Assembly, with the Bailiff as civil head of the island and the Lieutenant Governor representing the Crown. Sterling is the currency, with Jersey's own notes and coins beside the British ones, and the standard rate of income tax is 20 per cent. Jersey charges goods and services tax at 5 per cent, and its default rate of corporate tax is zero.

Financial services account for close to two fifths of the island's economic output, which explains the weekday pattern of the private traffic: a banker, a trustee or a fund director who needs to be in St Helier for a board meeting and in London by evening. The day-return from a London field fits the airport's hours, and a light jet is the aircraft that suits it.

The leisure traffic has its own appeal. Mont Orgueil above Gorey is a medieval fortress, Elizabeth Castle on its islet in St Helier's bay was begun in the sixteenth century and is cut off by the tide for part of every day, and the German occupation left the tunnels at St Lawrence, now a museum, together with batteries and bunkers around the coast. The island marks its liberation each year on 9 May. Gerald Durrell founded his wildlife park here. The old Norman language, Jèrriais, is still spoken by a small share of islanders.

The table is a reason to come in itself. Jersey Royal potatoes, grown on steep coastal fields by hand and protected by origin, are harvested from late March into July, with May and June as the peak, and the Jersey cow still grazes the island's dairy pastures.

 

The Jersey year: new potatoes in spring, flowers in August and a quiet winter

Jersey has no dead season, but the private traffic follows the festival weeks and the weeks when the potato fields are in harvest:

The island keeps British time, so there is no jet lag, and long summer evenings make a late dinner in St Aubin or Gorey a normal event. The practical limit is the airfield: a dinner that runs late is a night on the island, not a flight home.

 

The Jersey calendar: liberation, regattas, flowers and an air display

The apron and the hotels fill first on the dated events, and a few of them concentrate private arrivals into a single day:

 

 

Flying to Jersey with a dog or a cat

A flight from Britain to Jersey keeps the pet paperwork light, because the animal never leaves the Common Travel Area. The rules belong to the island's own authorities rather than to the European Union, and what matters most is where the animal began its journey.

• Pets from Britain, the Isle of Man and the Channel Islands: no certificate or vaccination needed for Jersey, minimum age eight weeks to fly;
• Pets from elsewhere: contact the States Veterinary Department first, and tell us before the quote;
• Banned dog types are listed in Jersey law, and XL Bully type dogs need a licence to be brought in or out of the island;
• Northern Ireland: tapeworm treatment is mentioned for dogs travelling to and from it, and we check the rule for your date.

A dog that goes from Jersey to Britain for more than 30 days must be microchipped and registered on an approved database, and a dog that lives on Jersey needs a licence from the age of six months. The rules sit with several authorities, so we write down the position for your animal before the flight and promise nothing that an authority has not confirmed.

Birds, rabbits and the less usual species, and the countries where preparation takes months, are covered in our flying with pets guide.

 

 

Empty Legs

Empty legs are the flights an operator must fly without passengers and therefore sells cheaply. Jersey generates a regular stream of them: a jet that delivers a party to the island must go home light, and one that comes to fetch guests at the end of a stay arrives light.

The traveller with a flexible window of a few days finds a match far more often, although the date belongs to the operator and a leg vanishes if the original booking moves. What is free at the moment of asking appears on our empty legs page. Some Jersey examples follow:

 

 

 

Helicopter charter

Around Jersey a helicopter shortens the crossing of water rather than the drive. The times below are our own estimates for the main transfers from St Helier, worked out at about 115 knots plus a few minutes for take-off and landing:

Weather and load move these figures. The aircraft, the route, the head count and the baggage limit are fixed for your date before an offer is sent.
