Private jet charter in Slovenia

Slovenia is two hours from a London airfield on a light jet, and the country at the far end is smaller than Wales, with a capital, a lake resort, an Alpine ski valley and a piece of the Adriatic coast all within a morning's drive of one runway. Private Jets UK plans Slovenian charters around that compactness. The aircraft is rarely the hard part; the hard part is choosing between three small airports and a handful of neighbours across the border, and the answer depends on the address you are heading for. 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 Slovenia that means the general aviation centre at Ljubljana, a permit from the ministry where the flight is a charter, and a car, a boat or a helicopter for the last stretch.

 

 

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 Slovenia 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 Ljubljana 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 Slovenia?

Slovenia keeps central European time, so clocks on the ground run one hour ahead of Britain all year. Flying times below are for a Citation CJ3+ from London Biggin Hill, gate to gate, and each sector is paired with the airport that serves it:

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 Slovenia

Typical private jet charter prices from Britain into Slovenia, cheapest first. Ljubljana is the anchor, because it is the airport that takes every aircraft type all year and has a general aviation centre of its own. Maribor sits a little further east and costs more on the same aircraft, and the table climbs with distance and cabin size:

 

 

Private jet flights within Slovenia and to its neighbours

Slovenia is too small to need a domestic network. Maribor is about 130 km from Ljubljana by road, and the capital is closer to Klagenfurt than to its own coast. The sectors people do ask us for run across a border, and these are the ones we quote most often:

 

 

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.

 

Online Calculator

If you want to make an urgent calculation of the cost of a private plane flight, use our online calculator. Just fill in all the fields of the form with a note that you are interested in a specific model of the aircraft and get the final price. NB! - the figures are sent to you by email or messenger, please carefully fill in the contact details to get the calculation.

All our calculations are as transparent as possible for you. After receiving the request, we will prepare a beautiful offer - where the costs and the final price will be clearly described. The exact price is agreed in advance and is written in the contract, so you can be sure of the final cost.

 

 

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 Slovenia:

 

 

Because a leg inside Slovenia needs an EU-registered aircraft, the quote for a trip that continues from Ljubljana to Maribor or the coast often names a second operator and the airfield where that aircraft starts.

Business aviation airports in Slovenia

Slovenia has one airport that takes every aircraft all year and two more that a business jet can use with care. A fourth field, near Bled, is a sport airfield. These are the four, with the figures that decide a quote:

 

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

 

Five airports across the border come up on Slovenian itineraries, because the country is small and the road is short. Each has its own hours and its own way of handling private flights:

 

Arriving from Britain: passports, permits and what to carry

Slovenia is a member of the European Union and of Schengen, and Britain is in neither. A private flight from London arrives as a flight from outside the zone, so the border is cleared at the first Slovenian airport you land at, and the choice of that airport is a short one.

 

 

Which airport for which part of Slovenia

The address decides the airport. The country is compact enough that one runway covers most of it, and these are the pairings we use:

 

Ljubljana, the lakes and the coast: what our clients go for

Ljubljana is where the business is. A city of about 300,000 people on the Ljubljanica river, it is the capital and the largest city of the country. The economy of the country is about 65 percent services and 25 percent manufacturing, with motor vehicles, electrical equipment, machinery and pharmaceuticals leading. The old town sits under the castle hill, the Triple Bridge leads into Prešeren Square, and the buildings by the architect Plečnik are on the UNESCO list.

Lake Bled is the picture most visitors have in mind. A small island with a church stands in the middle, rowers in the traditional pletna boats stand to propel them, and above the shore a castle on a cliff is described in the written sources as the oldest in Slovenia, from the eleventh century. The dessert to order is the cream cake, kremšnita. The Grand Hotel Toplice at Bled dates from the middle of the nineteenth century and has hosted guests from Agatha Christie to Willy Brandt; the lake itself has staged world rowing championships.

Behind Bled the Julian Alps rise to Triglav, at 2,864 metres the highest peak in the country. Lake Bohinj lies in the Triglav National Park, and about 60 percent of the country is forest, a share exceeded in Europe only by Finland. Kranjska Gora, near the Austrian border, is a main ski resort, and the Planica valley next to it has staged ski flying since the 1930s.

The Postojna cave system is 24 km long, with a 5 km tourist route covered partly by train and a constant temperature of 8 to 10 degrees. The Škocjan Caves, with an underground canyon more than 140 metres high, are inscribed on the UNESCO list. The Lipica stud farm, the home of the Lipizzaner horse, was founded in the sixteenth century.

The coast is short, about 46.6 km, and Venetian in character. Piran, on a peninsula, was under Venetian rule for more than five centuries and still looks it, with Tartini Square in the middle, and the resort of Portorož lies next door. Behind the shore the Karst plateau carries the caves and the stud farm, and they sit on the Trieste side of the country.

In the north-east Maribor holds the Old Vine, which has grown on the Drava riverbank for more than four centuries and is recorded by Guinness as the oldest noble grapevine still bearing fruit. The Pohorje slopes above the city offer 41.5 km of runs from December to March.

 

The Slovenian year: when the Alps are busy and when the coast opens

Slovenia has no single peak season. The capital works all year, the Alps are busiest in winter, and the lakes and the coast belong to the summer:

 

The Slovenian calendar: carnival, ski flying and the Bled forum

The dated events are few, but each pulls on a different airport:

 

 

Flying to Slovenia with a dog or a cat

A dog or cat travels in the cabin, and the paperwork is the ordinary European set with one Slovenian condition that matters for the choice of airport. Britain, outside Northern Ireland, sits in the group of third countries that Slovenia lets in only through listed travellers' points of entry.

• A microchip that the vet can read, with the date of insertion shown in the document and fitted before or at the same time as the rabies vaccination;
• A rabies vaccination given by an approved vet when the animal was at least 12 weeks old, with 21 days between the end of the primary course and travel;
• An Animal Health Certificate from an official vet, issued no more than ten days before arrival in the EU and valid for the return as stated on the certificate. A British pet passport cannot be used;
• For a dog, the tapeworm treatment described above. Slovenia itself does not ask for it on the way in, so on a short trip it can be given before leaving, as long as the dog lands back in Britain inside the same window.

Cats need the same list without the worming. We tell the handler in advance and confirm in writing which airport will receive the animal.

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. Slovenia produces a modest supply, because the country is small and most trips run in one direction at a time.

A client who can offer a few days 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 Slovenian empty legs follows:

 

 

 

Helicopter charter

The roads in Slovenia are good, but the valleys are narrow and the best addresses are at the end of them, so a helicopter is mainly a way to save an hour. A landing away from an airfield needs the consent of the landowner and an approved site, which the operator arranges, and the Triglav National Park, which includes Lake Bohinj, has rules of its own. The usual transfers from Brnik are these:

The times are straight-line estimates at a cruise of about 115 knots, and the operator confirms the route for your date.

 

 

Flights from the UK to Slovenia

Biggin Hill, Farnborough, Luton, Stansted and London City send most of the traffic on this corridor, with Southampton, Birmingham and Gatwick behind them and Manchester, the north-east 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.
