Private jet charter in Libya

Libya is a short flight from Britain and one of the destinations on which a straight answer matters most. The distance is never the issue; the published safety and travel positions are, and this page sets them out before it sets out a single price. 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 Libya that means a plain statement of the limits, and a proper plan for the part of the journey we can do well: the flight to Tunis, Malta or Istanbul.

 

 

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).

 

 

Please note that the above-mentioned price is indicative only. It is calculated on this basis: a departure from London Biggin Hill, an Embraer Phenom 300E to Tunis-Carthage with no technical stop 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.

 

What a private jet can and cannot do for Libya

Private Jets UK does not arrange charters that land at Tripoli, Misrata, Benghazi or any other airfield in Libya. The reasons are published by the bodies that advise travellers, regulate aircraft and underwrite flights, and they are set out here so that nobody pays for a quote that cannot be flown.

The coastal exception in the European bulletin is the reason so many clients ask. Mitiga, Misrata and Benina are all on the coast, so on a map the door looks open. In practice the exception is a list of conditions for the operator to meet and certify. It does not change the Foreign Office advice, the position on insurance or the state of air traffic services, and a charter that leaves any one of them unresolved should not be sold. That is why this page prices the flight to the gateways.

If your plans take you to Libya against Foreign Office advice, that is a decision for you and your insurer, and travel insurance can be invalidated by it. Our part is the first and most reliable stretch: a comfortable aircraft to a gateway that works, with permits, handling and ground transport settled before departure. The bulletins are reissued with new validity dates, so we read the latest text at every enquiry.

 

How long does it take to fly towards Libya?

The straight line from London to Tripoli Mitiga is about 1,300 nautical miles, a little over three hours in a midsize cabin if an approach were available. The times that matter are those to the gateways. Libya keeps one time zone, two hours ahead of Greenwich Mean Time all year. Tunisia stays one hour ahead all year, Malta is one hour ahead in winter and two in summer, and Istanbul is three hours ahead throughout. These are the sectors from London Biggin Hill on the Phenom 300E, 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.

 

 

Prices for the private jet flights towards Libya

Typical one-way prices from Britain, cheapest first, to the three gateways, all flown without a technical stop. The Phenom 300E suits two or three travellers; the larger cabins carry more people and more luggage for more money:

 

 

From the gateway onwards

What happens after the gateway is a matter for the passenger and for the scheduled airlines. Listings for the Libyan airports show the following, and none of it is our service:

Flights to Libya can be cancelled at short notice, as the Foreign Office says, so we recommend a flexible ticket and a spare day in the plan.

 

Private jet flights between the gateways

Some parties split the journey: a night in Malta, then Tunis, or Istanbul on the way back. Malta to Tunis is 223 nautical miles, Tunis to Istanbul 937 and Malta to Istanbul 772. The figures below show the scale of each hop and are not a firm price, because a regional leg is quoted by the operator who will fly it:

 

Whether the aircraft that brings you from Britain may also carry you between two foreign airports is confirmed in writing for each trip; where it may not, a local operator flies the regional leg.

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:

Business aviation airports for Libya: the gateways and the Libyan fields

A foreign aircraft can land only at the airports named in its permit, and the permit is the first document in the file. The first three rows are where our flights go. The last three are listed so that the picture is complete:

 

 

Entering Libya and the gateways: visas, health and what to carry

The Foreign Office entry page for Libya applies to British citizens who travel despite its advice:

For the gateways the position is simpler. Tunisia admits British citizens without a visa for up to 90 days, with a passport valid for the whole stay. Malta applies the 90 days in 180 rule for the Schengen area, with a passport issued less than ten years before and valid for three months after departure. Turkey admits British citizens for up to 90 days in 180 without a visa, with a passport valid for at least 150 days from the day of arrival. Confirm each on the Foreign Office page before the flight.

Coming home is a flight into Britain: 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 for Britain. The first landing must be at an aerodrome that is regulated for customs, since a landing at an unregulated one carries a fine of £2,500.

 

 

Which gateway for which purpose

Choose the gateway by what you need on the ground, then check it against the permit:

 

Flying to the gateways with a dog or a cat

We do not fly animals to Libya, and we do not know of an official route for a British pet to enter it by private jet. The gateways have their own paperwork, and the way home needs planning in the right order.

On the way home, Malta is a direct return without the dog tapeworm treatment, because dogs travelling directly to Great Britain from Malta are exempt from it. Tunisia, Turkey and Libya are not on the list of countries from which Britain accepts a pet on simpler terms. From an unlisted country a dog or a cat needs a Great Britain pet health certificate and a rabies blood test, taken at least 30 days after the vaccination with a result of 0.5 IU/ml or higher, followed by a wait of three months from the sample date. A dog also needs a tapeworm treatment from a vet between 24 and 120 hours before arrival, and an animal that does not meet the rules can be quarantined for up to four months.

Other destinations, and the general rules for travelling with an animal on a private jet, are set out on our flying with pets guide.

 

 

Empty Legs

An empty leg is a flight the operator has to make anyway, with the cabin vacant, and so it is priced low rather than flown for nothing. On the gateway sectors the saving is real, and so is the catch.

Whatever is free is listed on our empty legs page. A selection of empty legs to and from the gateways follows, at roughly 40 percent of a fresh charter:

 

The price covers the whole aircraft, not a seat: a Praetor 600 from Malta to Manchester with six aboard comes to about £1,550 a head.

 

 

Helicopter charter

We do not arrange helicopter charter in Libya, and the bulletins above are most concerned with the low levels at which a helicopter flies. At the gateways the picture is different. In Istanbul the Zorlu Center helipad in Besiktas is a listed landing site and needs a request at least two hours ahead on weekdays and six on holidays, flown by day under visual rules. Malta has a public heliport at Xewkija on Gozo, and helicopter operators fly to it on request. For Tunis we have not verified a civil helicopter operator, and we say so rather than guess.
