Private jet charter in Macedonia

A breakfast departure from London puts you on the ground in Skopje before lunch, which makes North Macedonia one of the shortest hops into the western Balkans and one of the least explored by British private travellers: a capital built around an Ottoman bazaar, a lake that is among the oldest in Europe, wine country to the south and ski slopes within two hours of the runway. Private Jets UK plans each charter around two airports, Skopje for almost everything and Ohrid for the lake in season, and most of the work lies in the details around them: the landing approval, the handler, the stand and the road after landing. 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 North Macedonia that means an approval requested in good time, a handler who knows the Skopje apron, and a plan for the last stretch, which is as often a drive into the mountains as a short walk to a waiting car.

 

 

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 North Macedonia 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, a Cessna Citation CJ3+ to Skopje 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 North Macedonia?

North Macedonia is the country's official short name and the one we use here; older guidebooks say Macedonia, and a request for Macedonia sometimes means Thessaloniki and the Greek region around it, which is a different destination and a different airport. The country keeps Central European Time, one hour ahead of Britain, with the clocks changing on the same weekends as in the European Union. These are the sectors from London Biggin Hill on a Citation CJ3+, wheels up to wheels down, for the airports a private jet might be pointed at on this trip:

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.

Business aviation airports in North Macedonia

Two airports take business jets, and they are run by the same company. Skopje is the working gateway, Ohrid a seasonal convenience, and the choice between them depends on where the party is going:

 

Four points settle most arrivals before the quote goes out:

 

Arriving from Britain: passports, registration and paperwork

North Macedonia is not in the European Union or in Schengen, and neither is Britain, so a flight from London lands as an ordinary international arrival with passport control and customs. The handler meets the aircraft and walks the party through the terminal.

 

 

Which airport for which part of North Macedonia

Skopje serves the capital, the wine country, the western mountains and nearly everything else, and Ohrid serves the lake. The roads below start at the Skopje runway unless stated:

 

The Macedonian year: when the lake is open and when the snow is

Summers are hot and dry, winters cold, and the shoulder seasons good. Travel advice usually names early May to early October as the best window, and June to September as the sweet spot:

 

The Macedonian calendar: festivals, holidays and the summer

Holidays and summer festivals lift the demand for seats and stands. The main dates, by usual month:

 

 

Flying to North Macedonia with a dog or a cat

A dog or cat travels in the cabin with you. North Macedonia is outside the EU, so the EU animal health certificate does not apply, but Britain lists the country among those with an easier route home, and the preparation is a matter of weeks and not months.

• An ISO-standard microchip, fitted before or at the same time as the rabies vaccination and never after it;
• A rabies vaccination at 12 weeks of age or later, with at least 21 days between the primary course and travel;
• The Macedonian entry document arranged in advance through the Veterinary Inspectorate;
• For the return, the Great Britain health certificate, dated inside the 10-day window;
• No more than five animals per traveller; more than that, or an animal travelling apart from its owner, is treated as a commercial consignment.

There is no vet at the airfield, so we book a practice in Skopje for the certificate and the tapeworm treatment inside the 24 to 120 hour window and fit the flight home around it. Cats need the same list without the worming.

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. North Macedonia produces them because so many trips there are one-way: the aircraft drops its passengers and has no booking back.

A client who can offer a few days has a far better chance of a match, though a leg can disappear when the original booking changes. Whatever is free is listed on our empty legs page. A selection of Macedonian empty legs follows:

 

 

 

Helicopter charter

A helicopter is not the way to reach North Macedonia from Britain. It shortens the distances inside the country, where the lake, the wine country and the ski slopes lie one to three hours from the capital by road. The sectors we are asked for:

The times are straight-line estimates at a cruise of about 115 knots, and the operator confirms the route for your date. Landing sites and approvals are settled in writing before the booking.
