Private jet charter in Annecy

From the London fields it is about an hour and twenty minutes in the air to the Haute-Savoie, and the decision that shapes the trip is which runway the aircraft uses: the short one beside Lake Annecy or the long one across the Swiss border. Private Jets UK builds the charter around the answer. 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. Annecy-Haute-Savoie-Mont Blanc airport has one paved runway of 1,630 m, no instrument landing system and a tower that closes early in the evening, so it suits light and midsize jets flown by crews who know it. Geneva, about 50 km away, has a runway of 3,900 m and a dedicated business aviation terminal, and it is where the larger cabins, the late arrivals and the busiest winter Saturdays usually go.

 

 

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 Annecy 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 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 Annecy?

About an hour and twenty minutes from Biggin Hill in a light jet, about two hours from Edinburgh or Glasgow, and one hour of clock difference to add on arrival, because France keeps Central European time. At 420 to 745 nautical miles from the British fields we use, Annecy is a short sector from the south of England and a comfortable midsize job from Scotland. The table gives the flight from each field.

Private jet flights from Annecy

Annecy is a base for short hops over the Alps and down the Rhône more than for long sectors. Lyon is about 35 minutes in a turboprop, Sion and the Valais sit over the range, and the Riviera and Paris are easy light-jet distances. Geneva and Chambéry are close enough by road that nobody flies between them and Annecy. Typical one-way prices:

 

 

Prices depending on the type of business jet

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 Annecy:

 

 

 

This is a small part of what is available. Annecy sits between Geneva, Lyon and Chambéry, so there is often an aircraft within half an hour of the lake, and a quote may name one of those airports as the positioning point. That is normal for a leisure airfield with a small based fleet, and it is frequently where the better price comes from.

Business aviation airports for Annecy

Four airports are worth discussing for an Annecy trip. One is on the doorstep, one is across the border, and the other two matter when the trip is really to Chambéry's valley or to the Isère side of the Alps. Which one is right depends on the aircraft and the hour, not on the postcode.

 

Four points settle most Annecy arrivals:

 

 

Border, passport and the French sector at Geneva

The first landing in the Schengen area is where passport control happens, and the choice of airport decides where that is. At Meythet it takes place with the border service and customs, who must be notified a day ahead through the operator. At Geneva it takes place in the Swiss terminal, and the road crossing into France follows. Geneva also has a French sector, a pier of the passenger terminal that exists under an agreement between France and the Canton of Geneva and is reached by road through the customs gate at Ferney-Voltaire. It serves airline passengers travelling between Geneva and France, and it does not help a London charter: a traveller arriving on an international flight cannot leave directly for France without passing through Switzerland first. For a private client the French sector is a curiosity, and the working route is the business aviation terminal and a car. First-time visitors to the Schengen area may be asked to register a photograph and fingerprints, a free step whose record stays valid for three years. For the way home, the General Aviation Report for Britain is filed not earlier than 48 hours and not later than 2 hours before departure, and passengers who are neither British nor Irish citizens may need an electronic travel authorisation for the UK.

 

 

Landing permits, slots and the crew

A flight from London to Annecy is a plain point-to-point service, and the air services agreement between Britain and the European Union gives each side's operators the third and fourth freedom rights that such a flight needs. A standard charter therefore runs on the operator's usual authorisations. The permit question begins when the routing goes beyond a simple out and back: a British aircraft that carries passengers between two French points, or picks up in France for a third country, is outside those rights. In that case France runs a non-objection procedure for operators without an EU licence, with a request filed through its SAGA system at least two working days ahead and a short window in which European carriers may object. The operator files it and we track it.

 

From the apron to the lake

Annecy is an old town of canals and arcades on the northern tip of a lake, and from Meythet you reach it in less time than it takes to read a briefing. Most of the distances that matter run outward, to the Aravis ski resorts, to Geneva and the Swiss border, and up the valley to Chamonix and Mont Blanc.

 

Flying to Annecy with a dog or a cat

For a pet the paperwork is the part of a French trip that needs planning, and the flight is the easy bit: the animal sits beside you in the cabin, never in a hold, and on a sector of about eighty minutes most simply sleep. The date on the health certificate is the detail that goes wrong, because the certificate is valid for only ten days for entry to the EU.

 

 

What France, as an EU country, asks for when a pet arrives from Britain:

• An ISO microchip, fitted before the rabies vaccination or at the same time;
• A rabies vaccination given when the animal was at least 12 weeks old, with 21 days elapsed before the animal travels;
• An Animal Health Certificate for each trip, issued by an Official Veterinarian and valid for ten days for entry to the EU. A British pet passport cannot be used to enter the EU;
• No more than five animals per traveller, presented at a travellers' point of entry, which for Annecy means the customs desk we notify a day ahead;
• For dogs, a tapeworm treatment from a vet between 24 and 120 hours before arrival back in Britain, recorded on the paperwork. Cats are exempt.

Requirements for cats, ferrets, birds and anything less usual are collected on our flying with pets guide. For the entry point and the paperwork on the way home, we confirm both in writing before the flight, and our managers check the position for your dates before a booking is taken.

 

The Annecy calendar: a ski winter, a film festival and a lake summer

Annecy has two busy seasons and a few sharp peaks between them. Winter belongs to the Aravis ski resorts, early summer to the animation film festival, and high summer to the lake. Knowing which week you want matters more than choosing an aircraft.

 

Ways to bring the Annecy price down

• Move the dates by a few days where you can. A Tuesday arrival in February avoids the facilitated weekends at Meythet and the coaches at Geneva;
• Ask where the aircraft is based. A jet that already sits at Geneva, Lyon or Chambéry takes less positioning than one coming from Britain, and on a sector of this length positioning is a meaningful part of the bill;
• Check whether Geneva works as well. On the same light jet from Biggin Hill, the sector to Geneva is priced about £200 lower than the one to Annecy. The difference is small, so let the hour of arrival and the size of the cabin decide, and then price the road.

 

Types of flights

Annecy produces a different mix from the city destinations we cover, because it is a lake town with a mountain behind it, a trade festival of its own and a border a short drive away.

• Winter sports parties for the Aravis and the Mont Blanc valley, with ski bags, children and a fixed Saturday, flown to Annecy, Geneva or Chambéry according to the aircraft and the hour;
• Animation industry travel in June, with studio teams, buyers and a market that sets the dates for them;
• Summer lake holidays, with villa weekends, boat charters and family groups that want to avoid the road from Geneva;
• Business visits to companies in the area, small teams, fixed times and a return the same evening;
• Trips that combine France and Switzerland, with Annecy at one end and Geneva or Sion at the other;
• Walking and climbing weekends around Chamonix, often with a helicopter transfer on the last stretch.

The day trip is the one to look at closely. Land a little after nine local time, leave before the tower closes in the early evening and you are back on the British side the same evening, with about eight hours on the ground. A same-day return means the aircraft and crew wait for you rather than going home, and that waiting is paid for, but it still comes out cheaper than two separate one-way charters. We quote it both ways, so the difference is visible.

 

Empty Legs

An empty leg is a repositioning flight with nobody aboard, offered at a fraction of the usual price. Annecy has a few strong patterns of demand that create them, and it helps to know what produces them.

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

 

 

Helicopter charter

At Annecy a helicopter is a tool for the edges of a trip and not the middle. The old town is small enough to cross on foot, and the places where rotary flight changes the journey are the lake, the Aravis ridges and the Mont Blanc valley. A helicopter operator is based at Meythet itself, so a machine is often on the field when you land.

The machines on this ground are the Airbus H125 for Alpine work, the wider H130 for scenic and chalet transfers, the H135 and 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.
