Private jet charter in Libya

Libya sits in an unusual place among the countries we are asked about: the rules that govern European operators contain a specific exception for its coastal airports, and yet a British-arranged charter still cannot use it. This page explains the gap between the two, and what we fly in the meantime. Our customers have access to 6500 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. For 15 years of successful work, we have established partnerships with the world’s largest airlines and VIP terminals, which means we can offer you the most favorable 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. The aircraft we quote for these sectors sit at the London fields and in the North, with Mediterranean-based partners covering anything that starts closer to Malta.

 

 

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 towards Libya 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).

 

 

Current status of private jet flights to Libya

Of the countries we are asked about, Libya is where the gap between the current position and a resumption looks narrowest, precisely because the exception is already written into the text. What we fly now is the approach: Malta, less than two hundred nautical miles off the Libyan coast and the traditional staging point for Tripoli, Tunis, which has the working land border, and Istanbul, which carries the deepest choice of onward services to all three Libyan airports.

 

 

Every price on this page is indicative and built the way a real quote is built: a named aircraft on a named sector, two passengers unless stated otherwise. The gateway table below shows current levels, and a personal calculation takes our consultant about 20 minutes through any form here.

 

How long does it take to fly to Libya?

London to Tripoli is 1,285 nautical miles, a little over three hours in a midsize cabin, and one of the shortest sectors we are ever asked about towards a country we cannot serve. The distance was never the obstacle here. The times below are to the gateways, and from Malta the remaining hop is under forty minutes in the air.

 

Worked examples on the gateway sectors. Distances are great-circle and the times include climb and descent:

1 route London Luton - Tunis (TUN), by private jet Citation XLS+

• Aircraft range: 3,889 km;
• Flight distance: 1,008 nm / 1,867 km;
• Cruising speed: 800 km/h;
• Flight time: 2:45 h

 

2 route London Luton - Malta (MLA), by private jet Citation XLS+

• Aircraft range: 3,889 km;
• Flight distance: 1,152 nm / 2,133 km;
• Cruising speed: 800 km/h;
• Flight time: 3:00 h

 

3 route Manchester - Malta (MLA), by private jet Praetor 600

• Aircraft range: 7,441 km;
• Flight distance: 1,264 nm / 2,341 km;
• Cruising speed: 863 km/h;
• Flight time: 3:05 h

 

4 route London Luton - Istanbul (IST), by private jet Citation Latitude

• Aircraft range: 5,000 km;
• Flight distance: 1,347 nm / 2,495 km;
• Cruising speed: 830 km/h;
• Flight time: 3:25 h

 

5 route Edinburgh - Malta (MLA), by private jet Challenger 350

• Aircraft range: 5,926 km;
• Flight distance: 1,409 nm / 2,609 km;
• Cruising speed: 870 km/h;
• Flight time: 3:25 h

 

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.

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 holds over 6500 business jets, and the five classes below are the ones that appear in quotes for these sectors. The hourly rates are the starting levels we see on British departures to Tunisia, Malta and Turkey:

 

This is only a part of what is available. The aircraft on your contract is chosen for the sector and the date, and can be positioned from a neighbouring country when nothing suitable is free in Britain.

 

How to book a private jet?

You can book a private jet flight towards Libya in 6 easy steps:

1. Flight request – indicating the route and your preferences for the model of business jet and other points.
2. Coordination of flight details – our consultant will contact you to offer the possible flight options and answer all your questions.
3. Commercial offer – we will send you a final offer on a specific model taking into account all your wishes.
4. Signing of the contract.

6. Departure at the agreed time and date. Assistance during the whole flight.

In addition to renting the private jets and arranging the flights, we provide concierge services, premium transfer, security, exclusive catering, etc. For over 15 years of experience in business aviation, we have learned to solve problems of any complexity, offering the service of the European level. Our experts will be happy to answer your questions and help you arrange your flight.

 

How to rent a business jet with a crew

5 main stages:

• 

  Sending an application

• 

  Clarification of details and search for options

• 

  Preparation and coordination of optimal options

• 

  Registration of documents. Payment of the invoice.

• 

  Departure on the route.

 

Business aviation airports in Libya

The list below is kept for reference. Several of these fields are working and taking scheduled traffic; none of them is available for a charter we would arrange, for the reasons set out at the top of this page. One correction is worth making before the list: Tripoli International (HLLT, TIP) has been closed since it was wrecked in the fighting of 2014, and every civil flight to the capital now uses Mitiga on the eastern edge of the city. The fields in service are:

• Mitiga International Airport, Tripoli, ICAO - HLLM, IATA - MJI;
• Benina International Airport, Benghazi, ICAO - HLLB, IATA - BEN;
• Misrata International Airport, ICAO - HLMS, IATA - MRA.

The traffic concentrates on Tripoli, Benghazi and Misrata, with Sabha serving the south. For the current position on any specific field, ask our consultants.

 

 

The wider network of Libyan airfields, again for reference rather than for booking, runs to the following:

1. La Braq Airport (LAQ), Beida, Libya
2. Sabha Airport (SEB), Sabha, Libya
3. Kufra Airport (AKF), Kufra, Libya
4. Ubari Airport (QUB), Ubari, Libya
5. Ghadames Airport (LTD), Ghadames, Libya
6. Ghat Airport (GHT), Ghat, Libya
7. Tobruk Airport (TOB), Tobruk, Libya

At the gateway airports you are handled through the business aviation terminal, where there are no queues and arriving thirty minutes before departure is enough. Malta, Tunis and Istanbul each have one, and our consultants can tell you which handler meets you at which.

 

Types of flights

Our company provides all types of business flights. Due to a wide variety of jets, we can arrange:

1. private flights;
2. corporate flights;
3. business class flights;
4. concert tours;
5. medical flights (with doctors and special equipment on board);
6. tourist flights for large and small groups;
7. sports charters for teams and coaching staff;
8. combined flights (partly by business jet, and partly by helicopter);
9. exclusive flights on luxury jets for businessmen, celebrities, and politicians;
10. cargo flights, etc.

A flexible approach and a wide experience allow us to solve problems of any complexity. In 90% of cases, we manage to arrange urgent flights (on the day of application). But to be sure, we recommend you send a request at least 2-5 days before the desired date of departure.

 

 

Empty Legs

Another way to fly cheaper is to use Empty Legs. This service allows you to save on regular charter rates. As you know, part of the flights is one-way (for example, when the passenger flies from England to Malta). After the flight, the jet returns to its home base (for example, to London Farnborough airport) empty. Such flight is called “Empty Legs”. Empty leg flights can be as cheap as 50-75% off the standard charter price. This option is profitable for both the passengers and the charter companies. The clients can enjoy the services of business aviation at a very good price, while the airlines recoup part of the cost of fuel and jet maintenance.

It is almost impossible to find Empty Leg flights, as the information about them is stored in special databases available only to the aviation brokers and specialized companies. You should know that Empty Leg flights offer the same service as private jet charters. The passengers enjoy a 100% private jet flying experience. Services and flight conditions are discussed individually. We should note that our company cooperates with the world’s largest home bases, so we can offer our clients a wide choice of return flights. Just send a request to our manager who will help you find the best flight options. Please note that Empty Leg flights are sold out very quickly. To avoid such a problem, you can leave us a deposit, and we will contact you as soon as the flight of your choice becomes available. For additional information, check with the operators.

 

 

 

Jet Sharing

Today, Jet Sharing is just as popular as private jet charter. This service involves the joint rental of a business jet with other passengers (that is, the cost of the flight is divided equally between all passengers of a specific flight). This type of flight has become especially popular in the last few years. Many people like Jet Sharing because it allows you to enjoy all benefits of business aviation at favorable prices.

We should note that the number of passengers per Jet Sharing flight varies from 3 to 8, while the cost of the flight ranges from 1400 to 7100 euros (depending on the destination). This way, you can get a comfortable flight on a business jet (and maybe even meet new business partners) at a very good price. You can check out the schedule of Jet Sharing flights by filling in the online form or contacting our operators by phone or WhatsApp.

Main advantages of this service:

• All privileges of business aviation, including the use of the business aviation terminal and the check-in 30 minutes before the flight, are retained;
• You can also use the services of the VIP Lounge (included in the price of the flight);
• No baggage restrictions;
• Affordable price: jet sharing is much cheaper than private jet charter;
• Pets can be carried directly in the aircraft cabin.

 

Our consultants will be happy to help you choose the best flight.

 

 

Helicopter charter

Helicopters here work the approaches: the British departure field, and the transfers around the gateway cities while an onward service is arranged. These are the legs we book most:

 

 

Flight payment options

The main goal of our company is to provide the highest level of comfort to our customers. Therefore, we’re always ready to meet you halfway. Our consultants will offer you a wide variety of flights to meet your needs and budget. Most customers prefer a non-cash method (a transfer to an EU bank account), which guarantees a high level of confidentiality and security of payment. All payment details are provided in advance, so you’ll have enough time to make the necessary checks. For years of working in business aviation, our company has gained an impeccable reputation. We practice transparency and are always ready to present all necessary documents.

Private Jet UK works with both physical and legal entities. We guarantee the confidentiality and security of payments. You can pay for the gateway flights in any convenient way:

• cashless (by transfer to our account);
• by cash;
• by card;
• by cryptocurrency.

 

Our company works with European and British banks, which allows you to choose the most convenient payment method. In addition, we conclude formal agreements and provide our clients with all necessary documents and invoices, which guarantees the safe payment and delivery of services. If you have any financial questions, feel free to contact our private aviation consultants.

If you need to book an urgent flight, please keep in mind that the bank transfer can take a few days. In such situations, we may need to involve our partner companies so that you can pay for your flight in cash. If you have any questions, you can contact your personal consultant 24/7.
