Private jet charter in Almeria

Almeria logs more than 3,000 hours of sunshine a year, so a London jet that lands here in January usually arrives to daytime highs of 17 or 18 degrees, with a Moorish fortress above the harbour, the film-set desert of Tabernas about half an hour to the north and the volcanic coast of Cabo de Gata beyond the hills to the east. Private Jets UK arranges the charter around whatever the trip is for: a villa near San Jose, a weekend in the white hill village of Mojacar, a day among the mirrors of the solar research platform or a transfer on towards the Sierra Nevada. 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. Almeria is quieter than the Costa del Sol, and the quiet is the attraction, but it does ask for a little planning. The airport has one 3,165 m runway, an operating day that ends before midnight, compulsory handling for every flight from Britain and no hangar, so the choices that matter are the handler, the arrival time and whether Malaga is the better way in for your party.

 

 

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 Almeria 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 Cessna Citation CJ3+ 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 Almeria?

Expect 2 h 40 min from Farnborough in a light jet, a little longer from the Midlands and the north of England, and 3 h 10 min from Edinburgh or Glasgow in a Challenger. Spain runs on Central European time, so the clocks on the ground are an hour ahead of Britain and a morning departure lands later on the clock than the flight time suggests. The sectors run from 882 to 1,194 nautical miles, long for a light jet but still nonstop for a Phenom or a Citation. The table gives the figure from each British field we use.

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 Almeria:

 

 

 

This is a small part of what is available. Aircraft for an Almeria booking often start from Malaga, Madrid or Palma rather than from Almeria itself, so for a date that does not fall on a holiday week we can usually find one within an hour or two of the airport, and that is often where the better price comes from.

Business aviation airports in Almeria

One airport is the natural landing and three more are worth knowing before a quote arrives with one of them in it. Almeria's own field is open for a defined day, has no hangar and is a long way from the rest of Andalusia, so it pays to know when the neighbours are the better choice.

 

Four points settle most Almeria arrivals:

 

 

Border, passport and the way home

Arrival is simple once the timing is right, and the handler arranges it. A British passport must have been issued less than ten years before the day of entry and must still be valid three months after the day you plan to leave the Schengen area. No visa is needed for stays of up to 90 days in any 180. The Entry/Exit System can take a photograph and fingerprints on a first entry, and the officer may ask for a return ticket, proof of funds and the address where you are staying, which for a charter client means keeping the confirmation to hand.

The flight home needs more thought than the flight out. Britain is outside Schengen, so passengers pass passport control and customs on arrival at the British airfield. A General Aviation Report has to be filed not earlier than 48 hours and not later than 2 hours before departure, and the penalties for getting it wrong are £2,500 for a first landing at a non-regulated aerodrome and £2,000 per passenger without permission. We file it for you and name the airfield in the booking, so nothing is left to the day.

 

 

From the apron to the Alcazaba

Almeria is a port city under a hill with a fortress on it, and the distances that matter run outward from it: to the park, to the desert, to the resort strip west of the city and to the airports that lie in other provinces.

 

Where to stay: the hotels clients book

The city has a handful of good hotels, the coast has large resorts, and the park has small country houses with a handful of rooms. That last fact matters more than any aircraft question: a cortijo with seven to twelve rooms can be full in August or at Easter, and then the room decides the dates. The names below come from published listings, and availability should be confirmed before a flight is booked.

 

Flying to Almeria with a dog or a cat

Spain is among the easier countries to travel to with an animal, and a flight of about three hours is a short enough day for most dogs and cats. The animal travels in the cabin beside you. The paperwork is where owners trip, above all the dates, because the health certificate has only a ten-day life.

 

 

What Spain asks for on arrival:

• An ISO microchip, fitted before the rabies vaccination or on the same day, never after it;
• A rabies vaccination given when the animal was at least 12 weeks old, with 21 days elapsed before entry;
• An Animal Health Certificate from an Official Veterinarian, valid for ten days for entry to the EU and used for the return to Britain as stated on the certificate;
• No more than five animals per traveller, presented at a travellers' point of entry, which our handler arranges at the airport;
• A British pet passport is not accepted for entry to the EU, so a new certificate is needed for every trip.

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 Almeria calendar: sun all winter, Holy Week and a late-August fair

Almeria has no single week that swamps the rest. Its pattern is a mild winter that quietly fills the villas, two or three dated peaks and a hot summer, and the dates are worth knowing before the aircraft is chosen.

 

Cabo de Gata-Nijar: what a private client needs to know

The park is the reason most people ask for a quote. It covers about 460 square kilometres of coast and dry hills, with a marine reserve of about 120 square kilometres off the shore, and it carries several international designations: a UNESCO biosphere reserve, a UNESCO global geopark and a Ramsar-listed salt flat where flamingos feed. Rainfall averages about 156 mm a year, and the park has a hot desert climate, said to be the only one of its kind in Europe.

The base is usually San Jose, a small fishing port in the middle of the park, with Los Escullos, Rodalquilar, Agua Amarga and Las Negras on either side. Beaches worth the drive include Genoveses, an unbuilt stretch about 2 km from the San Jose marina, and Monsul, a small cove that appears in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. Rodalquilar was a gold-mining village until the middle of the last century, and the abandoned workings have served as a film set. We plan the road from the airport, about 34 km and 40 minutes, and the driver for the beach days at the same time as the flight.

 

Almeria itself: the Alcazaba, the tunnels and the tapas

The city is easy to cover in a day. The Alcazaba, begun in the tenth century under Abd al-Rahman III, is one of the largest Moorish citadels in Spain, with three walled enclosures and a Christian castle added by the Catholic Monarchs on the highest ground. It is open from Tuesday to Sunday, closed on Mondays, and is free for citizens of the European Union with a token charge for other visitors. The cathedral below it was built like a fortress to resist pirate raids. Beneath the streets runs a network of Civil War air-raid shelters more than 4 km long, partly restored and open on guided tours only, so book ahead. At the harbour stands the Cable Ingles, an iron pier once used to load ore onto ships, a favourite place at sunset.

Tapas are the other half of the day. Almeria is one of the Spanish cities where a tapa still arrives with the drink, and you choose it yourself, so tell the waiter your pick when the glasses land. The old bar Casa Puga on Calle Jovellanos has been serving since the nineteenth century, the same street holds Jovellanos and other busy counters, and the old town around the Plaza Vieja and Calle Marin is where most of the walking from bar to bar happens. The city has been named Spain's capital of gastronomy and the local specialities include the raf tomato, grilled octopus, tortilla and croquettes. Lunch is from 1 to 3 in the afternoon and the weekend evening starts after 8.

 

The Tabernas desert, the film sets and the solar platform

About 30 km north of the city the hills open into the Tabernas desert, a 280 square kilometre badland of dry gullies that stood in for the American West in the Spaghetti Westerns. More than 300 films have been shot here since the late 1950s. Three western towns still operate for visitors: Fort Bravo, about 22 km from Almeria, the Oasys Mini Hollywood park a few kilometres further on, and Western Leone beside it. Sergio Leone shot A Fistful of Dollars, For a Few Dollars More and Once Upon a Time in the West in this country, and later productions, among them Game of Thrones, Doctor Who and Black Mirror, have used the same landscape. The desert is often called the only one in Europe, with the qualifier that most of its area, not all of it, has a desert climate.

The other draw in Tabernas is the Plataforma Solar de Almeria, described as the largest concentrating-solar research and test centre in Europe and run by the Spanish research body CIEMAT, with fields of mirrors, a central receiver tower and solar furnaces. It has opened to visitors on guided tours of around an hour and a half, booked in advance with the centre, which are worth fitting into a morning before the film sets. The platform, a western town and lunch in the village of Tabernas fit comfortably into one day.

 

Mojacar, San Jose and Roquetas: which base for which party

Pick the base before the aircraft, because the three are an hour or more apart.

• San Jose and the park. Quiet, small, close to the beaches and about 40 minutes from the airport. The right base for walkers, divers and families who want a house with a pool, and the one most affected by summer parking limits;
• Mojacar. A white village on a hill above a beach resort, about an hour and ten minutes from the airport, with an artists' colony and the Indalo, the little figure that appears on its house fronts. Livelier than the park, with a Parador on the sand and the June festival;
• Roquetas de Mar and Aguadulce. The large resort strip west of the city, 35 minutes from the airport and built for families, with big hotels, a marina at Aguadulce and little of the park's solitude;
• Almeria city. The right choice for a weekend that is about food, history and the Alcazaba, and a good first night after a late flight.

 

Skiing from Almeria: the Sierra Nevada transfer

The Sierra Nevada ski station is in the mountains behind Granada, and Almeria lies on the far side of the range. The road from the airport to Pradollano is about 209 km and a little over two hours, against about an hour from Granada airport, so for a ski week we normally fly to Granada and keep Almeria for parties who are also staying on the coast. The season normally runs from early December to late April or early May, helped by snowmaking, the base station is at about 2,100 m and the lifts reach almost 3,400 m. Ski bags usually call for a midsize cabin, and the road transfer is arranged with the handler.

 

Ways to bring the Almeria price down

• Avoid the fair fortnight and Holy Week where you can. Mid-week in March, May and early November is calm, the weather is good and the hotels have rooms;
• Ask where the aircraft is based. A jet already in Malaga, Madrid or Palma needs less positioning than one coming from Britain, and on a sector of this length positioning is a real share of the bill;
• Take the light jet unless the luggage says otherwise. Four people and four bags do not need a midsize, and the money saved buys the villa week.

 

Types of flights

Almeria produces a different mix from the glossier Spanish destinations. It is a place people go to be left alone, to walk, to dive and to eat, and the bookings reflect it.

• Villa weeks in the natural park, flown out on a Saturday and back the following Saturday;
• Weekends in Mojacar, often built around the June festival or a wedding;
• Film and production work in Tabernas, with crew and equipment on board;
• Business visits to the solar platform and to the greenhouse agriculture that dominates the local economy;
• Winter stays of several weeks, when the aircraft is booked for the arrival and the departure only;
• Day trips from London, which at about two and a half hours each way make a long but workable day for the Alcazaba and a late lunch.

The day trip deserves a closer look. A same-day return means the aircraft and crew wait for you rather than going home, and the waiting is paid for, but it comes out cheaper than two separate one-way charters. The catch is the airport day: the return must leave inside the published hours, and we plan the evening departure well within them so that a long dinner does not decide the outcome.

 

Empty Legs

An empty leg is a repositioning flight with nobody aboard, offered at a fraction of the usual price. On the Almeria corridor they follow the pattern of holidays and events, and it helps to know what produces them.

Because the Almeria corridor is thinner than the busiest London routes, a client who can name a few days rather than one has a far better chance than one who needs a particular evening. What you give up is the usual: 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 Almeria match the day an operator releases it.

 

 

Helicopter charter

In Almeria a helicopter is a tool for the edges of the trip. The old town is a short drive from the airport, and the journeys where rotary flight changes the day are the ones to a house in the park, a hotel on the coast and a low flight over the desert and the salt flats.

The machines used in this region are the Airbus H125 for short coastal work, the wider H130 for scenic and villa transfers, the Bell 429 where a twin is wanted and the H155 for larger parties. We book them alongside the jet so that both crews work to one timetable.
