Private jet charter in Ankara

A jet that leaves a London airfield at seven in the morning lands on the Anatolian plateau in the early afternoon, in a capital that runs on ministries, embassies and congress calendars and not on tourism. We book the landing permission, the handler and the cabin together, because on this route each one depends on the others. 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. Ankara has one civil airport that counts, Esenboğa, about 30 km north-east of the centre and open round the clock, and one military field, Etimesgut, which older charter lists still show as the main airport and which is not. Turkey is outside Schengen, as Britain is, so passport control and customs are real at both ends, and the decisions that matter are the permission, the date and whether the trip stops in the capital or carries on to Cappadocia.

 

 

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 Ankara 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, a Cessna Citation XLS+ 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 Ankara?

Four hours ten minutes from Biggin Hill in a Citation XLS+, four and a half hours from Glasgow in a Challenger 350, and a clock that runs two hours ahead of Britain in summer and three in winter, because Turkey stays on UTC+3 all year. At 1,580 to 1,814 nautical miles this is where short-haul ends: a midsize cabin is the sensible minimum, and the light jets that make sense on a two-hour sector are rarely quoted for it. The return leg meets the prevailing westerlies head-on and can run a little longer than the outbound. The table gives the sector from each British field we use.

 

 

 

Prices for the private jet flights to Ankara

Typical trips from Britain, cheapest first, all of them into the general aviation terminal at Esenboğa. National holidays, summit days and congress weeks sit above these figures, and the calendar block further down explains when.

 

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 jet flights from Ankara

Ankara is a good place to begin a loop through Anatolia and the eastern Mediterranean, because the capital sits in the middle of the country and the roads out of it are long. Cappadocia is under an hour away in a turboprop and about four hours by road, Istanbul is an hour by jet, the Mediterranean and Aegean coast is a short hop, Cyprus is about an hour and a quarter away and Athens a little over an hour and a half. Typical one-way prices:

 

 

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.

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 Ankara:

 

 

 

This is a small part of what is available. For an Ankara booking the best aircraft is often not the one nearest to London: Istanbul has the deepest Turkish charter fleet, Larnaca, Athens and the Gulf supply more, and a Turkish-based machine is sometimes the practical answer for the domestic hops while a British-based one flies the long leg. We look at the whole map before a price is sent.

Business aviation airports in Ankara

One airport carries the civil traffic, one military field confuses older lists, and the rest matter only when the trip continues to Cappadocia or Eskişehir. It helps to know what each one is before a quote arrives with its name in it.

 

Four points settle most Ankara arrivals:

 

 

Permits, border and passport

Two Turkish bodies matter, and they are easy to confuse. SHGM, the Directorate General of Civil Aviation, gives the landing permission for a flight that is not scheduled; DHMİ, the State Airports Authority, owns the airport, which TAV operates under a concession. The application to SHGM needs the aircraft registration, the airworthiness certificate and insurance that meets Turkish liability requirements. For a non-scheduled flight the notice quoted by permit agents is usually about five days, with 48 hours possible when the trip is urgent, and we work to those figures and not to the optimistic ones, since the permission is the one step that cannot be rushed.

British passport holders may visit for up to 90 days in any 180 for business or tourism without a visa, but the passport must be valid for at least 150 days after the day of arrival and have one blank page. There is no limit on bringing foreign currency or Turkish lira into the country. Turkish lira worth more than 5,000 US dollars (roughly £3,800) may not be taken out, and other currency above that sum must be declared to Turkish customs, where the source of the money may be asked about. On the way home the UK side is a General Aviation Report filed by the operator between 48 and 2 hours before departure, and any passenger who is not British or Irish and needs no visa for the UK needs an Electronic Travel Authorisation.

 

 

Government, embassy and diplomatic travel

Ankara is where the Grand National Assembly and the Presidential Palace sit and where the foreign embassies are, mostly in the newer part of the city. A share of the private traffic is therefore official, and it follows rules that are different from those for a business client. The airport itself is used to it: handlers report that traffic is heavy during diplomatic summits and that slot availability has to be confirmed at the time of the request.

 

From the apron to the capital

Ankara is a city of hills and government quarters rather than a harbour, and most of what a visitor wants is inside one urban area: Anıtkabir, the mausoleum of Atatürk on Anıttepe hill, the Museum of Anatolian Civilizations at the foot of Ankara Castle, the Kocatepe Mosque and the Atakule Tower in Çankaya. The distances that matter run outward, to Cappadocia in the south-east and to Eskişehir in the west.

 

Flying to Ankara with a dog or a cat

Turkey is outside the EU, so the routine that works for a weekend in the EU does not apply. A British dog or cat going to Ankara needs an export health certificate and, in practice, a rabies blood test, which means planning starts months before anyone books a jet. The animal sits beside you in the cabin and no hold is involved.

 

 

What Turkey asks for, according to the Turkish Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry and to Defra's guidance for exporters of dogs, cats and ferrets:

• An identification microchip, implanted before the rabies vaccination; the vaccine must be an authorised inactivated one, given when the animal is at least 90 days old;
• A rabies antibody blood test: a sample taken at least 30 days after the vaccination, with a result above 0.5 IU, from an accredited laboratory. The Turkish ministry then asks for a wait of 90 days from the result before the first trip. Defra's own export notes call the test highly recommended, and because the two texts do not match we plan as if it is required;
• Defra export health certificate 3818, signed by an Official Veterinarian, after a clinical inspection within 24 hours before export. The Turkish ministry asks for the veterinary certificate within two days of travel;
• No more than two animals per traveller under Turkish customs rules. An accompanied animal needs no import permit, while an unaccompanied one does;
• For dogs, a tapeworm treatment from a vet between 24 and 120 hours before the flight back to Britain, recorded with product, date and time. Cats are exempt.

Requirements for ferrets, birds and anything less usual are collected on our flying with pets guide. Our managers confirm the entry point and the paperwork for the animal in writing before the flight, and check the timetable of the blood test before a booking is taken.

 

The Ankara calendar: a capital with a climate

Ankara keeps its rhythm by the weather and by the national calendar. The city stands at 938 m on a dry plateau, so summers are hot and winters cold and snowy, with July highs averaging 31 degrees and January highs about 5. Official dates matter more here than festivals. Knowing which week you want matters more than choosing an aircraft.

 

Ways to bring the Ankara price down

• Move the dates a few days where you can. The days after a national holiday are calm, and so is the stretch between the bayrams;
• Ask where the aircraft is based. A jet already in Istanbul or Larnaca needs less positioning than one from Britain, and on a sector of four hours positioning is a large part of the bill;
• File early. The landing permission is the one step that cannot be rushed, and a booking with ten days in hand leaves the operator room to look for the cheaper aircraft;
• Take the midsize cabin unless the party or the luggage says otherwise. Six people and six bags do not need a large jet, and the money saved buys the car and the hotel.

 

Types of flights

Ankara produces a different mix from the resort or financial destinations we cover, because it is a seat of government, a university city and a congress centre, and almost nobody comes for the beach.

• Government and embassy-related travel, with delegations, officials and diplomatic staff, where the permission and the protocol matter more than the aircraft;
• Business visits to the ministries and public bodies that sit in the capital, and to the firms that deal with them, with fixed meeting times and a short stay;
• Congress and exhibition travel to the ATO Congresium and the city's other venues, where the dates are set by the event and not by the client;
• Overnight trips from London, which at over four hours each way are a long day and a short night but a workable pair;
• Cappadocia combinations, with a jet to Ankara or straight to a Cappadocia gateway and a turboprop or helicopter for the rest;
• Onward flights to Istanbul, the coast, Cyprus or the Gulf, with Ankara as the middle stop.

The same-day return from London is possible and almost never sensible. It means over eight hours in the air and an aircraft and crew waiting on the apron in between, and the meeting gets what is left. We quote it on request, but most clients choose one night in the city and a morning flight home, and the comparison is visible in the two quotes.

 

Empty Legs

An empty leg is a repositioning flight with nobody aboard, offered at a fraction of the usual price. On the Ankara route they come from the pattern of official dates and onward travel, and it helps to know what produces them.

Because the Ankara 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 Ankara match the day an operator releases it.

 

 

Helicopter charter

In Ankara a helicopter is a tool for the edges of a trip and not the middle. The centre is a drive from the airport, but the capital has no coast or harbour for rotary flight to open up, and the places where it changes the journey are the last stretch in Cappadocia and a transfer across the city on a tight schedule.

The machines on this ground are the Airbus H125 for valley work, the wider H130 for scenic transfers, the H135 and the Bell 429 where a twin is wanted, and larger types for bigger parties. We book them alongside the jet so that both crews work to one timetable.

Flights from the UK to Ankara

Biggin Hill, London City, Luton and Farnborough send most of the traffic on this corridor, with Southampton and Birmingham behind them and Manchester, Newcastle and Scotland at the long end; the price table higher up covers thirteen of those pairings. On a sector of more than four hours the choice of departure field matters less than the aircraft, because the difference between two London fields is a few minutes. 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.
