Private jet charter in Vietnam

A Challenger 605 that leaves a London airfield in the morning can be on the ground in Hanoi before breakfast the next day, with an hour at Dubai on the way, and the part of a Vietnamese charter that takes longer than the flight is the paperwork. Every landing needs a permit from the civil aviation authority, the airports have no fixed-base operators of the Western kind, and the three or four airports that matter are a long way from one another. Private Jets UK builds a Vietnamese trip around those facts. 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 Vietnam that usually means a permit applied for a week ahead, a local handling agent who clears the crew and passengers, and for a party bound for the beaches or the bay a second leg by turboprop, helicopter or seaplane.

 

 

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 Vietnam 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 Biggin Hill, a Bombardier Challenger 605 to Hanoi Noi Bai with one technical stop in Dubai 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 Vietnam?

Vietnam keeps Universal Time plus seven hours all year and never changes its clocks, so it is seven hours ahead of Britain in winter and six in summer. A party that leaves a London airfield in the morning reaches Hanoi in the early hours of the next day, local time, so the night is spent in the cabin. These are the sectors from London Biggin Hill on the lowest-priced aircraft that can fly them with one stop in Dubai, gate to gate and counting about an hour on the ground:

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 Vietnam

Typical one-way prices from Britain, cheapest first. We price the airports where a business jet from abroad can be cleared in, which are Hanoi, Hue, Da Nang, Ho Chi Minh City and Cam Ranh for Nha Trang. Phu Quoc, Da Lat and the bay of Ha Long are reached from them. Every figure includes the technical stop in Dubai:

 

 

Private jet flights within Vietnam and to its neighbours

Vietnam is long and narrow. Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh City is 652 nautical miles, a little farther than London to Barcelona, and Hanoi to Da Nang is 353. The table gives the hops we are asked for most, with Hong Kong, Luang Prabang, Bangkok and Singapore as the neighbours that travellers add to a Vietnamese itinerary:

 

 

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:

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 Vietnam:

 

 

For a sector this long we look for an aircraft positioned in the Gulf or in South-East Asia as well as in Britain, so the dates should reach us while they can still move.

Business aviation airports in Vietnam

Vietnam has close to thirty airports, all run by the national airports corporation, and only a few take a business jet from abroad. The first rows are the ones our flights use, the later rows matter mostly for onward legs:

 

Long Thanh, a new international airport in Dong Nai province east of Ho Chi Minh City, has begun to receive airline flights. We have no business-aviation handling arrangements listed for it, so private flights to the south are planned on Tan Son Nhat unless the handler advises otherwise.

Four constraints shape every arrival:

 

Arriving from Britain: entry, permits and the handler

For passengers the border is simple, and for the aircraft the permit is what sets the date.

Passengers can clear immigration in the main terminal with the airline travellers, or in a private room at Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City and Da Nang for an extra fee, where the handler takes the passports and returns them stamped. A prepaid car with a driver, arranged through the handler, is the recommended way in from the airport.

Coming home is a flight into Britain: a General Aviation Report goes to the border authorities not earlier than 48 hours and not later than two hours before departure, and British and Irish citizens need no electronic travel authorisation for Britain.

 

 

Which airport for which part of Vietnam

These are the usual pairings of address and airport, each checked against the permit:

 

Hanoi, Da Nang, Ho Chi Minh City and the islands: what our clients go for

Ho Chi Minh City takes most of the business traffic. It is the commercial capital of the country, and Tan Son Nhat is where, by the handlers' guides, most business jets arrive.

Hanoi is the capital, and the base for visits to the factories of the north. Bac Ninh holds twelve Samsung supplier plants and Thai Nguyen two, and buyers and engineers fly to Noi Bai to see them. A short domestic hop to Hai Phong reaches the northern port.

The central coast is where families go. Da Nang is the gateway to Hoi An, with its lantern-lit old town, and to Hue, whose citadel was the seat of the emperors. Both are UNESCO World Heritage sites.

The islands are the other end of the trip. Phu Quoc is a beach resort with its own airport. Ha Long Bay, with its limestone islands, is reached from Hanoi by seaplane to Tuan Chau Island, about 170 km from the capital by road, and seen from the air by helicopter. Con Dao is an archipelago off Ho Chi Minh City with a short runway.

Sa Pa and Da Lat, in the cool highlands, suit guests who want something other than a beach.

 

Vietnamese seasons: three climates in one country

Vietnam is so long that the weather differs from north to south, and the right month for one region is the wrong one for another:

 

The Vietnamese calendar: Tet, the fireworks and the holidays

The dates that matter follow both the calendar and the moon:

 

 

Flying to Vietnam with a dog or a cat

Vietnam admits dogs and cats that arrive with the right vaccination and a certificate, and the way home is the harder half, because Vietnam is not a listed country for Britain and a returning animal needs a blood test and a three-month wait. We obtain written confirmation of the rules before an animal is booked.

Animals are admitted by air at Hanoi Noi Bai and Ho Chi Minh City Tan Son Nhat, and Cam Ranh and Da Nang are also named by one guide. A pet with complete papers is normally released at once, and one with missing papers can be held for 10 to 30 days at the owner's expense. No national list of banned breeds is published, and the rules of Dubai are checked for an animal that stays aboard during the stop.

Coming home is stricter. Vietnam is not on the Great Britain list of countries with easier rules, so a dog or a cat needs a Great Britain pet health certificate and a rabies blood test:

• The blood sample is taken at least 30 days after the rabies vaccination and sent to an approved laboratory;
• The result has to show a rabies antibody level of at least 0.5 IU/ml;
• The animal then waits three months from the day the sample was taken before it travels to Great Britain, and the test stays valid while the vaccinations are kept up to date.

A dog also needs a tapeworm treatment from a vet between 24 and 120 hours before arrival in Britain. The three-month wait is counted from the day of the sample, so it has to be planned before the outward flight, and we check with your vet whether a sample taken in Britain before departure counts for the way back. For a private flight we confirm the entry point and the paperwork for the animal in writing before the flight.

Other destinations, and the general rules for travelling with an animal on a private jet, are set out on our flying with pets guide.

 

 

Empty Legs

An empty leg is a flight the operator has to make anyway, with the cabin vacant, so it is priced low instead of being flown for nothing. On a route as long as this one the saving is large in cash, and the catch is as large.

Clients who offer a window of several days match most often. Whatever is free is listed on our empty legs page. A selection of Vietnamese empty legs follows, at roughly 40 percent of a fresh charter:

 

 

 

Helicopter charter

Helicopter and seaplane flying in Vietnam is a small market around Hanoi, Da Nang and the bay of Ha Long. The operations we are asked for most are these:

The rotary or seaplane leg is booked together with the rest of the itinerary.
