Private jet charter in Al Ain

The flight from the London fields takes just over seven hours and ends on a four-kilometre runway at an airport with almost no airline traffic, a short drive from a garden city at the foot of Jebel Hafeet. Private Jets UK arranges the charter from the first quote to the car at the aircraft door. 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. Abu Dhabi and Dubai are each about an hour and a half away by road, so both work as a fallback when a permit, a slot or a date will not fit. What is left to decide is the cabin that will fly more than 3,100 nautical miles, and how much of the oasis, the mountain and the desert the passengers want to see.

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 Al Ain 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, an Embraer Praetor 600 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 Al Ain?

Plan around seven and a quarter hours. From Biggin Hill or Stansted a Praetor 600 takes 7 h 15 min, from Luton or Farnborough 7 h 20 min, and from Edinburgh and Glasgow 7 h 40 min and 7 h 45 min. At roughly 3,121 to 3,337 nautical miles the sector is beyond any light or midsize jet without a fuel stop, so the table below is flown in a super-midsize jet, the Embraer Praetor 600, which has a published range of about 4,000 nautical miles with four passengers; the one-stop alternative for smaller cabins is described under the table. The UAE does not move its clocks, so Al Ain is four hours ahead of Britain in winter and three in summer, and a morning departure lands in the evening. The table gives the sector from each British field we use, measured to Al Ain International.

Private jet flights from Al Ain

Most departures from Al Ain are short: a family or government trip to Abu Dhabi or Dubai, Muscat just over the Omani border, Doha, or Riyadh in an evening's flight. The long ones are the winter-sun legs to the Maldives and the sectors back to Europe, which are the same seven hours in reverse. Typical one-way prices from Al Ain International:

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.

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 Al Ain:

This is a small part of what is available. Aircraft with the range for this route are the scarce resource, and the best price often comes from one that is already in the Gulf or has just finished a trip into Europe, so a client who can name a few days rather than one date usually pays less. Charter operators based in the UAE include DC Aviation Al-Futtaim, ExecuJet Middle East, Falcon Aviation, Jet Aviation and Jetex, and an aircraft standing at Abu Dhabi or Dubai is only half an hour from Al Ain.

Business aviation airports for Al Ain

Al Ain has an airport of its own with a four-kilometre runway, and that is the first choice. Four others, all within about two hours by road, each fit a different reason for not using it.

Four points settle most Al Ain arrivals:

Border, passport and the private terminal

On a private flight the formalities are done at the aircraft and in the private terminal, not in the main hall. Al Ain is a designated airport of entry with customs, immigration and quarantine clearance, and the handler arranges the clearance once we have sent the passenger list ahead. Hours need care: one flight-support source lists customs at 0600 to 2200 and another lists customs round the clock, so a night arrival is something we have the handler confirm in writing before the date is fixed. A daytime arrival raises no such question. Visitors from Britain receive the visa on arrival at immigration without applying in advance, which keeps the formalities short. Crew entry goes through the general declaration, typically with visas for a stay of up to seven days.

From the apron to the oasis

Al Ain is compact, and the airport sits on its western side. The distances that matter are the short ones to the oasis and the mountain, and the long ones, by road, to the two big cities.

What private clients do in Al Ain

Al Ain is called the Garden City, and it is the Gulf stop where even a short stay has real history in it: an oasis on the UNESCO list, Bronze Age tombs, forts and a mountain, all within a few minutes of each other. The pieces fit into two unhurried days.

Flying to Al Ain with a dog or a cat

Two sets of paperwork, one at each end, and a decision about how the animal travels in between. The UAE wants a permit before the animal leaves, Britain wants a fresh certificate before it comes home, and Al Ain adds a question of its own: where the animal is cleared.

What the UAE asks for on the way in:

• An import permit from the federal ministry responsible for climate change and the environment, applied for online once the flight date is fixed and valid for a short period, which the sources we use put at 30 days;
• An ISO microchip, implanted before the rabies vaccine and not after it;
• A rabies vaccination given at least 21 days before travel, at 12 weeks of age or later, with the core vaccines for the species recorded;
• An official veterinary health certificate endorsed by the competent authority of the country of origin, which for Britain means the Animal and Plant Health Agency;
• Internal and external parasite treatment in the 14 days before travel, recorded on the certificate;
• No more than two pets per person per year, and no animal from the banned list, which covers pit bull types, several mastiff breeds and the Japanese Tosa.

Requirements for cats, ferrets, birds and anything less usual are collected on our flying with pets guide, and our managers confirm the position in writing for your dates before a booking is taken.

The Al Ain calendar: a winter city with a hot summer

Al Ain keeps the Gulf's seasons: pleasant from November to April, very hot from May to September. The mean daily high is about 25 °C in January and about 45 °C in July, with a record of 49.4 °C, so the month you choose matters more than the aircraft.

Ways to bring the Al Ain price down

• Move the dates off the Gulf's busy weeks. The weeks after GITEX and the Grand Prix are calm, and so is February once the school holidays have ended;
• Weigh the Istanbul stop. A Citation XLS+ priced through Istanbul is £47,300 from Biggin Hill against £49,550 nonstop, which saves about £2,250 at the cost of about an hour and three quarters more on the day and a smaller cabin;
• Book the round trip as one booking. A long-haul return quoted together costs less than two one-way hires, and it fixes the aircraft for the whole stay;
• Check the empty legs, even those that land at Abu Dhabi or Dubai. On a seven-hour sector the saving can be large enough to pay for the car for the last stretch.

Types of flights

Al Ain draws a different crowd from the Gulf's big cities, because it is a heritage destination, a university town and a medical centre rather than a trade-show host.

• Heritage and nature tours around the oasis, Hili and Jebel Hafeet, for small groups who want the UAE without the skyline;
• Winter family trips with a stay at a mountain or desert hotel;
• Business and academic visits, since Al Ain is home to the main federal university and several college campuses;
• Medical travel and repatriation, to and from hospitals such as the 503-bed Tawam Hospital, which need a crew and an aircraft that can hold the sector without stopping;
• Gulf hops to Muscat, Doha and Riyadh, often in a day;
• Onward holidays to the Maldives, flown from Al Ain when the party wants to carry on from the mountains to the beach.

A same-day return from Britain is not realistic. The sector is long and the clock difference awkward, so a trip is an overnight at least, with the aircraft and crew either staying at Al Ain or going home empty and coming back. We quote both and show the difference, because the cheaper answer depends on how many days you stay.

Empty Legs

An empty leg is a repositioning flight with nobody aboard, offered at a fraction of the usual price. Al Ain is not a hub, so most of its empty legs begin or end at Abu Dhabi or Dubai, and it helps to know where they come from.

Because the corridor is long and the fleet with the range small, a client who can name a few days has a far better chance than one who needs a particular evening. The usual price of that is that the operator owns the date and the hour, and a leg can vanish when the original booking moves. Whatever is free is listed on our empty legs page, and we flag an Al Ain or Gulf match the day an operator releases it.

Helicopter charter

In Al Ain a helicopter does two jobs: the scenic flight over the oasis, the mountain and the desert, and the transfer to a place with no airport, such as a desert resort. Falcon Aviation, based at Al Bateen Executive, sells flights over the desert, mangroves, fossil dunes and mountains of the emirate, and the machines are booked alongside the jet so that both crews work to one timetable.

The times are our estimates at a cruise of about 115 knots and are shown for planning only. The machines on offer are the Airbus H125 and H130 for sightseeing and short transfers, the H135 and the Bell 429 where a twin is wanted, and larger helicopters for bigger parties. Routes and prices are quoted for the specific site, so tell us where you want to land when you ask.
