Private Jet Charter to Switzerland
Private Jets UK flies clients from Britain into Switzerland all year, and in winter to the mountain fields where the airport decides the aircraft rather than the other way round. 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 put on Swiss routes sit mostly at Farnborough, Biggin Hill and Luton, with a winter contingent at Geneva and Sion that removes the positioning leg on a short-notice Alpine booking.

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 Switzerland 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 based on the following data: departure from London Farnborough Airport, a Citation CJ3+, two passengers. 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 Switzerland?
Switzerland is a short sector from Britain, and the difference between its airports matters more than the distance does. These are the times from London, gate to gate:
400 nautical miles, the closest Swiss airport to Britain and the gateway to the northabout 1 h 20 min
423 nautical miles into the busiest business aviation airport in the countryabout 1 h 25 min
436 nautical miles, and the field the January forum traffic usesabout 1 h 25 min
454 nautical miles, and the shortest road transfer to Verbier and Crans-Montanaabout 1 h 30 min
507 nautical miles to the Italian-speaking southabout 1 h 35 min
514 nautical miles, and the field that puts you six kilometres from St Moritzabout 1 h 35 min
From the north of Britain add roughly half an hour
Edinburgh sits 683 nautical miles from Geneva against 423 from Luton, and Glasgow 697. That is around forty minutes more in the air, which on a sector this short changes the proportion considerably rather than marginally. It also matters in winter, when the mountain fields close at dusk: a Scottish departure that leaves at the same hour as a London one can arrive after Sion or Samedan has shut for the day.
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 Switzerland
Recent private jet charters from Britain into Switzerland, listed cheapest first. The figure follows the departure point more than the destination, since almost everywhere in the country sits within twenty minutes of flying time of everywhere else:

Two things worth knowing about these figures
– Switzerland is compact but its airports are not interchangeable. Geneva sits 423 nautical miles from Luton and Samedan 514, and the mountain fields carry their own constraints on top of the distance;
– Winter is the expensive season here, which reverses the Mediterranean pattern. December to March runs at a premium on every Alpine field, while the same aircraft into Geneva in May costs appreciably less.
Private jet flights within Switzerland and the Alps
Switzerland generates a great deal of short-sector traffic, partly because the mountains make road journeys slow and partly because the country sits at the centre of Europe. These are the legs we quote most often:
| Route | Aircraft | Flight time | Price, one way |
|---|---|---|---|
| Geneva - Lausanne 28 nm / 52 km |
Pilatus PC-12 NGX up to 8 |
about 25 min | from 3,900 EUR |
| Geneva - Sion 51 nm / 94 km |

Citation Latitude up to 9 |

Two things worth knowing about the short sectors
– Nothing inside Switzerland runs much beyond fifty minutes, so handling, crew time and the mountain approach carry far more of the figure than the miles do. Davos is the exception that proves it, having no airfield of its own and being reached from Zurich by road;
– The winter fleet arrives in December and leaves in April, and those two repositioning waves are where the empty legs cluster on Swiss routes.
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:
- Large jet (similar to Legacy 600) - from 4900 to 5800 GBP per flight hour;
- Business liners - from 10300 GBP per flight hour;
- Light jet - from 2100 to 3000 GBP per flight hour;
- Long-haul jet (similar to Global 5000, Gulfstream G550, Falcon 7X, etc.) - from 5800 to 8800 GBP per flight hour;
- Medium-sized jet (identical to Cessna Citation XLS+, Hawker 800XP, etc.) - from 3000 to 3700 GBP per flight hour;
- Turboprops - from 850 GBP per flight hour.
- Large medium-class jet (similar to Challenger 300, etc.) - from 4600 to 5500 GBP per flight hour;
- Small jet, from 1700 to 2500 GBP per flight hour;
