Private jet charter in Uruguay

Uruguay is the gentlest long-haul destination in South America for a private jet: one crossing of about 12 h 35 min from the south of England, then a country small enough that most of what clients want lies within an hour's flight or a morning's drive of the capital. The crossing itself needs planning, because very few cabins fly it without stopping, and in January the whole market moves towards one resort on the Atlantic coast. 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 Uruguay that means the overflight application to the national aviation authority, a handler at Carrasco or at Punta del Este, and a clear view of which of the two airports suits your dates.

 

 

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 Uruguay 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 Montevideo Carrasco, 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 Uruguay?

Uruguay keeps UTC-3 all year and has no summer time, so Montevideo is three hours behind Britain in winter and four hours behind while British Summer Time runs. These are the sectors from London Farnborough on a Gulfstream G550, gate to gate:

The two airports are close enough that the choice hardly touches the schedule. Punta del Este is 24 nautical miles nearer to Britain than Montevideo, which saves only a few minutes in the air, so the date and the parking decide between them more than the distance does. The exact flight time depends on the model of the business jet and on the wind. Our consultant will make a detailed calculation for the chosen business jet.

 

 

Prices for the private jet flights to Uruguay

Typical private jet charter prices from Britain into Uruguay, cheapest first. The price on this page is built on Montevideo Carrasco, the capital's international airport and the one open to every kind of traffic all year. Punta del Este is slightly nearer, and from Farnborough on a G550 it is about £650 cheaper:

 

 

Private jet flights within Uruguay and to its neighbours

Uruguay is small. Punta del Este is 48 nautical miles from Montevideo on our track and Colonia is 92, so the home sectors are short. The longer legs are the neighbours: Buenos Aires lies across the river, and Porto Alegre, Asunción, Santiago and São Paulo are each a short flight for a mid-size jet. These are the sectors we are asked for, flown from Montevideo:

 

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.

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 Uruguay:

 

 

Because a long-range jet is expensive by the hour, a Uruguayan quote often lets the big aircraft wait at Carrasco while a smaller jet flies the regional legs, and says plainly which flies which sector.

Business aviation airports in Uruguay

Uruguay has two airports that matter for a foreign business jet, Carrasco and Laguna del Sauce, and the choice between them follows the calendar more than the map. In January the resort airport takes the private traffic, and for the rest of the year Carrasco does most of the work:

 

Four points settle most trips before a quote goes out:

 

Arriving from Britain: passports, customs and what to carry

Uruguay 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 an airport of entry, and for a private flight that means Carrasco, Laguna del Sauce or Colonia.

 

 

Which airport for which part of Uruguay

The arrival airport follows from one address: the office in the capital, the house on the Atlantic coast, the colonial town on the river. These are the usual pairings:

 

Montevideo, Punta del Este and Colonia: what our clients go for

Uruguay is a small country of about three and a half million people, and beef is its largest export. Much of our business travel follows from that: livestock and grain traders, machinery suppliers, and the bankers and lawyers who sit in Montevideo.

The leisure traffic goes to the coast. Punta del Este sits on a peninsula about 140 km east of the capital, with a lighthouse 45 metres tall, the Casapueblo complex in the style of Santorini, the giant hand sculpture on the beach called La Mano, and Gorriti Island offshore. The permanent population is about eighteen thousand, and in summer it greatly expands.

Montevideo rewards a day on foot. The old city, the Ciudad Vieja, was walled until 1829 and today holds the museums, banks and restaurants. The Mercado del Puerto dates from 1868, the Teatro Solís from 1856, and the Palacio Salvo, finished in the late 1920s, rises 100 metres. The Rambla, the coastal avenue, runs for about 27 km, and the city was officially founded on 24 December 1726.

Two UNESCO sites complete the picture. The historic quarter of Colonia del Sacramento was founded by the Portuguese in 1680. The Fray Bentos Industrial Landscape, on the Uruguay River, grew out of a meat-salting factory of 1859 and the Liebig meat extract works.

 

The Uruguayan year: a summer coast and a mild winter

The climate is temperate, with four seasons and no wet or dry period. Summer runs from December to March and winter from June to September, and rain is spread evenly through the year:

 

The Uruguayan calendar: New Year at La Barra, Carnaval and the Expo Prado

Three dates organise the year, and each of them changes which airport you want:

 

 

Flying to Uruguay with a dog or a cat

A dog or cat travelling with its owner can enter Uruguay without an import permit and without a fee, and the animal is presented in person to the agriculture ministry, MGAP, at the border crossing, which for a private flight means the airport. We confirm the airport, the inspection and the paperwork in writing.

• A microchip, fitted before the rabies vaccination, which the return to Britain requires and Uruguay lists for dogs, and a wait of at least 21 full days after the vaccination;
• Treatment against internal and external parasites within 15 days before the certificate is issued, recorded with the date and the product, and for a dog an internal treatment that contains praziquantel;
• For a dog, the Uruguayan rules also list a test for leishmaniasis within 60 days before entry for animals from countries not declared free, which we check against the British certificate for your dates.

The three-month count is the point. A weekend with a pet in Uruguay does not work unless the blood sample was taken three months before the return, so we build the timetable backwards from the landing in Britain.

 

 

Empty Legs

An empty leg is a repositioning flight with nobody aboard, offered at a fraction of the usual price. On the Uruguayan run they come in waves, because few aircraft can make the crossing and most of the demand arrives at the same time.

A client who can offer a window of several weeks has a far better chance of a match. Whatever is free is listed on our empty legs page. A selection of Uruguayan empty legs follows:

 

 

 

Helicopter charter

Helicopter work in Uruguay is arranged case by case, and we do not publish a standing price list for it. Availability depends on which machine can be positioned, and in January the same few helicopters serve the whole coast. The transfers clients ask about are short:

The times are straight-line estimates at a cruise of about 115 knots, and the operator confirms the helicopter type, the route and the landing site for your date. We confirm landing permission at the destination before the quote is issued, because a private landing site at a beach house or on a farm is never assumed.

 

 

Flights from the UK to Uruguay

Farnborough, Biggin Hill, Gatwick and Luton send most of the traffic on this corridor, with Stansted, Birmingham and Manchester behind them and Scotland and the north of England 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.
