Private jet charter in Peru

About 5,700 nautical miles of track separate Britain from the Peruvian coast, and that distance, not the guest list, chooses the aircraft for a private jet charter to Peru. Only the long-range cabins fly it without a stop, and the choice of arrival field then decides how the rest of the trip is built, whether that is Lima at sea level or Cusco in the mountains. 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 Peru that also means a landing permit and an overflight permit filed with the civil aviation authority, a fuel release arranged days ahead, and a performance check before any landing at 3,310 metres.

 

 

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 Peru 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 Farnborough, a Gulfstream G550 to Lima Jorge Chávez, nonstop, 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 Peru?

Peru keeps UTC-5 all year and never changes its clocks. Lima is therefore six hours behind Britain while British Summer Time runs and five hours behind in winter. These are the sectors from London Farnborough on a Gulfstream G550, gate to gate:

Iquitos is 567 nautical miles nearer than Arequipa, which is about 1 h 10 min in the air and £15,500 on the quote, so a Peruvian price always names the airport before the aircraft. 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 Peru

Typical private jet charter prices from Britain into Peru, cheapest first. Iquitos and Cusco are the nearest arrivals, but the price on this page is built on Lima, the one airport with a full set of business aviation handlers and the arrival that almost every itinerary starts from. The table climbs with the distance and with the range of the aircraft that can fly it:

 

 

Private jet flights within Peru and to its neighbours

Peru is a country of three layers, a desert coast, the Andes and the Amazon basin, and the quickest way between them is by air. Lima to Cusco is 329 nautical miles on our track, Lima to Iquitos is 566, and Tacna on the Chilean border is 558. These are the sectors we are asked for, flown from Lima, with the neighbouring capitals that clients combine with a Peruvian trip:

 

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.

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 Peru:

 

 

Because a long-range jet is expensive by the hour and heavy for the high fields, the quote for a trip around Peru usually names Lima as the place where the second aircraft starts from, and says plainly which of the two legs each one flies.

Business aviation airports in Peru

Peru has one airport that handles business aviation at scale and a handful of high or remote fields that need planning. Between them the airports differ by altitude, by hours and by customs status, and those matter more than the length of the runway:

 

Five rules settle most Peruvian trips before a quote goes out:

 

Arriving from Britain: passports, customs and what to carry

Peru is outside the European Union and the Schengen area, and the entry rules for a British citizen are short. Immigration and customs are cleared at the airport of entry, and for a private flight that almost always means Lima.

 

 

Which airport for which part of Peru

The arrival airport follows from one address: the hotel in Miraflores, the lodge in the Sacred Valley, the camp on the Amazon. These are the usual pairings:

 

Lima, Cusco and the Amazon: what our clients go for

Lima is where the business is. The city holds about ten million people and produces more than two thirds of the country's industrial output, and the towers of San Isidro include the Torre Banco de la Nación, at 140 metres the tallest building in Peru. Peru ranks among the leading producers of copper, silver and zinc, supplies a quarter to a third of the world's fishmeal and fish oil, and is among the five largest producers of avocados and blueberries, so a good share of our trips are boardroom days of two or three nights, with the aircraft held at Lima or sent home empty.

Food is the second reason to land in Lima. The city calls itself the gastronomic capital of the Americas, and two of its restaurants, Central and Maido, have each topped the list of the World's 50 Best Restaurants. Tables at the best of them are booked well ahead, which is why guests with a fixed flight date book the dinner before the aircraft.

Cusco is the reason for the longest holidays. The old capital of the Inca empire sits at 3,310 metres, the airport is 3.7 km from its centre, and the ruins of Sacsayhuamán overlook the city. Machu Picchu is a World Heritage Site, and the Inca Trail needs a permit booked through a tourism agency, so the trek is arranged before the flight rather than after it.

The south offers different scenery. Arequipa has the volcano-ringed old town and the road to the Colca Canyon. South of Lima the Nazca Lines, several hundred figures drawn on the desert floor, are seen from the air in about twenty minutes over the lines, and a private aircraft from Lima can make the trip a half-day return.

The Amazon is a separate journey. Iquitos has no road to the rest of the country, and the lodges along the river are reached by boat from the airport. Puerto Maldonado, in the south-east, is the airport for the Tambopata reserve, a short flight from Cusco and an easy pairing with the Inca sites.

 

The Peruvian year: when the Andes are dry and Lima is grey

Peru has no single season. The coast, the highlands and the jungle keep different calendars, and the month that suits Machu Picchu is the month Lima sits under cloud:

 

The Peruvian calendar: Inti Raymi, Fiestas Patrias and the purple month

The dated events are few, and the biggest ones pull on a single airport:

 

 

Flying to Peru with a dog or a cat

A dog or cat travelling with its owner can enter Peru without quarantine, and the barrier is a certificate with tight dates. The national agricultural health service, SENASA, inspects the animal and the papers at the first point of entry, which for a private flight is normally Lima, and the owner pays the inspection fees there.

• A microchip fitted before the rabies vaccination, and a wait of at least 21 full days after the vaccination, both of which the return to Britain requires;
• A clinical examination by the official vet within 96 hours before export, with the animal free of signs of infectious disease and fit to travel;
• SENASA guidance for entry lists further vaccinations for dogs and cats, which the vet checks against the current list before the certificate is issued;
• No more than five animals per traveller on the way back, and more than that, or an animal travelling without its owner, is treated as a commercial consignment.

The three-month count is the point. A weekend with a pet in Peru does not work unless the blood sample was taken at least three months before the return, so we build the timetable backwards from the date of landing in Britain and confirm in writing how the animal will be received at Lima. Requirements for rabbits, birds, reptiles 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. On the Peruvian run there are few of them, because few aircraft can make the crossing, but each one is a long and valuable sector.

A client who can offer a window of several weeks has a far better chance of a match, though the operator owns the date and a leg can disappear when the original booking changes. Whatever is free is listed on our empty legs page. A selection of Peruvian empty legs follows:

 

 

 

Helicopter charter

Helicopters in Peru do a few specific jobs: the hop along the coast, the valley below Cusco, the desert of the south. They are not a substitute for the airport, and one rule shapes the whole picture. These are the transfers clients ask about, with times estimated from the straight-line distance:

The times are straight-line estimates at a cruise of about 115 knots, and the operator confirms the route, the helicopter type and the landing site for your date. Availability at Cusco is the uncertain part: one handler series lists no helicopter services at the airport, while tour operators advertise Sacred Valley flights, so we check before the quote is issued. Weather, wind and the load decide the rest.

 

 

Flights from the UK to Peru

Farnborough, Biggin Hill, Gatwick and Stansted send most of the traffic on this corridor, with Southampton, Bristol and Manchester behind them and Scotland at the long end; 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.
