Private jet charter in Antalya

A light jet leaving the London fields needs a little over four hours to reach Antalya, and because Turkey keeps the same clock all year, a seven o'clock departure from Biggin Hill in summer lands on the Turkish Riviera at about a quarter past one local time, in time for a late lunch by the sea. Private Jets UK builds the charter around the three things that decide this trip: the handler on the apron, the permit that has to be in place before wheels-up and the road at the other end, which can be twenty-five minutes to a golf resort or two hours to Alanya. 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. Antalya has one airport that carries almost everything, a field open round the clock about 13 km north-east of the city, and one small alternative, Gazipaşa, for those whose destination is Alanya, so the real decisions are which of the two, how long the aircraft stays and whether the party travels on by road, by sea or by helicopter.

 

private jet charter

 

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 Antalya 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 Phenom 300E 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 Antalya?

Four hours ten minutes from Biggin Hill in a Phenom 300E, four and a half from Manchester in a Latitude and a quarter of an hour more from Glasgow in a Challenger 350. Add the clock: Turkey stays on the same time all year, so it is two hours ahead of Britain while we are on summer time and three hours ahead in winter. At 1,629 to 1,891 nautical miles this is the far end of what we sell inside Europe, and the table gives the sector from each British field we use. A light jet can fly it, but with a full cabin or a strong headwind the operator may plan a fuel stop, and we say so in the quote and not on the day.

Door to door, and the clock on the wall

Leave Biggin Hill at seven on a summer morning and the aircraft is on the ground at Antalya at about a quarter past one, local time. The terminal is roughly 13 km from the city centre, so the hotel in the old town is a short drive away, while the golf resorts of Belek are a drive of 25 to 35 minutes and Kemer lies on the far side of the city. For a party that wants Alanya, the arithmetic changes: the road from Antalya airport to Alanya is about 120 km and takes around two hours, which is why we always price the Gazipaşa landing beside it. A same-day return from London is possible on paper and silly in practice, with more than eight hours in the air for one lunch. Antalya is a destination for stays of several nights, and that shapes the quote.

Light jet or midsize: the question that actually comes up on this route

– Up to four people with modest luggage, a light jet works and the saving is real. Be honest about the time, though: over four hours in a Phenom 300E is long, and golf bags, a stroller or a dog take the cabin to its limit before the seat count does;

– Past four people, or when the party is mixed in age, we quote a midsize jet next to the light one. Southampton, Birmingham, Bristol and Cardiff are usually flown in a Citation XLS+, Manchester, Leeds and Newcastle in a Latitude, and Scotland in a Challenger 350;

– Heavy aircraft make sense for a family office, a delegation of a dozen or more, or when Antalya is the first stop of a longer programme to the Gulf or the Eastern Mediterranean.

Private jet flights from Antalya

Antalya is the natural starting point for a tour of the Turkish coast and the eastern Mediterranean. Dalaman and Bodrum are about an hour away in a turboprop, Gazipaşa is the airport for Alanya, Cappadocia and Istanbul are short jet sectors, and Larnaca and Athens are a little over an hour. Typical one-way prices:

The coast: when a turboprop beats the motorway

Alanya is the sharp case. By car it is about 120 km and around two hours from Antalya airport, while a Pilatus PC-12 covers the distance to Gazipaşa in under an hour, and Gazipaşa stands roughly 40 km east of Alanya. Kemer is 43 km west of the city centre and Side, near Manavgat, 78 km to the east: both are roads and not flights, because neither has an airport, so the aircraft lands in Antalya and the car or the helicopter takes over. Kaş, 168 km west of the city, has no airport either and is reached from Antalya or Dalaman. For Dalaman and Bodrum a PC-12 is the sensible aircraft, and the saving over a jet on those short sectors is large.

Before you accept an onward quote

– The border at both ends. Turkey is outside Schengen, and so is Britain, but Athens is in Schengen, and a trip to Greece from Antalya ends in a Schengen arrival and a return through Turkish passport control. Larnaca and Dubai bring their own entry rules. The handler organises each end, but the quote should say so;

– Which airport, and who can fly it. Gazipaşa has a single runway with a localizer approach from one direction only, and Dalaman and Bodrum are busy summer airports. A quote that ignores either is a quote that will change;

– Whether the trip is one booking. Antalya, Bodrum and Dalaman in a single week are cheaper as one itinerary, because the crew stays with you and the aircraft does not have to come back to Antalya between stops.

 

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:

Turbopropsfrom £850/h
Small jet£1,700 - 2,500/h
Light jet£2,100 - 3,000/h

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 Antalya:

 

Light jets, and where most bookings land

Over four hours is the top of what we call comfortable in this class, so the choice inside it is about cabin height and baggage and not about speed.

Cessna Citation CJ3+ · 7 seatsfrom £2,400/h
Embraer Phenom 300E · 8 seatsfrom £2,600/h
Cessna Citation CJ4 Gen2 · 8 seatsfrom £2,700/h

Midsize, for the long sit and the luggage

The Citation XLS+ and the Latitude are the aircraft most often quoted from the Midlands, the west and the north, and the extra headroom is what a four-and-a-half-hour leg is paid for.

Learjet 75 Liberty · 8 seatsfrom £3,000/h
Cessna Citation XLS+ · 9 seatsfrom £3,100/h
Embraer Praetor 600 · 9 seatsfrom £3,400/h
Cessna Citation Latitude · 9 seatsfrom £3,900/h

Super-midsize and large

For a delegation travelling as one party, for a family with staff and for itineraries that carry on from Antalya to the Gulf.

Bombardier Challenger 350 · 9 seatsfrom £4,000/h
Bombardier Challenger 605 · 12 seatsfrom £4,350/h
Dassault Falcon 2000LXS · 10 seatsfrom £4,900/h
Gulfstream G450 · 13 seatsfrom £5,800/h

Turboprops

The right aircraft for Gazipaşa, Dalaman and Bodrum: about an hour in the air, and the saving over a jet on that distance is large.

Pilatus PC-12 NGX · 9 seatsfrom £1,400/h
Beechcraft King Air 350 · 9 seatsfrom £1,650/h

Helicopters

Not for the flight from Britain but for the last stretch: the Gulf coast to Kemer, a villa transfer, a day on the water. Where a helicopter may put down is agreed before the quote is issued.

Airbus H130 · 6 seatson request
Airbus H135 · 6 seatson request
Bell 429 · 6 seatson request

 

online private jet directory

 

This is a small part of what is available. For an Antalya booking there is often an aircraft closer than London: Istanbul, Athens and Larnaca all have deep charter fleets, and the summer season brings many operators to the Turkish coast on their own account, so the cheapest way to start or finish a Turkish itinerary is sometimes a jet that is already in the region. We look at the whole map before a price is sent.

Business aviation airports in Antalya

One airport carries the traffic, and the second matters when the destination is Alanya. It helps to know what each is before a quote arrives with its name in it.

Airport What it gives you
Antalya Airport
AYT / LTAI
The answer for nearly every trip, whether the destination is the city, Belek, Kemer, Side or Alanya. The field lies about 13 km north-east of the centre at 54 m above sea level, is listed as open 24 hours with the tower staffed round the clock, and has ILS and VOR/DME approaches. There are three parallel runways: two of 3,400 m and one of 2,990 m, so nothing we charter is limited by length. It is run by Fraport TAV Antalya, with two international terminals and one domestic terminal. Business flights use the general aviation apron, where independent agents handle the aircraft; operator listings name four on-site FBOs, and handling is listed as compulsory. Customs and immigration are on the airport
Gazipaşa-Alanya
GZP / LTFG
The small airport for Alanya, about 40 km east of the town. A single runway, 08/26, 2,350 m by 45 m in concrete, no ILS, only a localizer approach for runway 08 with a restricted sector because of the terrain, and 08 is used for landing and 26 for take-off. The aeronautical information publication lists customs and immigration, handling and fuelling for the aerodrome's working hours, which we confirm for the day, and it states that the field cannot be filed as an alternate. It suits a light or midsize jet in good weather, and saves about two hours of road against Antalya
Dalaman and Bodrum
DLM / LTBS, BJV / LTFE
Not alternatives to Antalya but the neighbouring Turkish coast: Dalaman for Marmaris, Fethiye and the western end of the Lycian shore, Bodrum for the Bodrum peninsula. Kaş has no airport and can be reached from both Antalya and Dalaman. Each is about an hour from Antalya in a PC-12

 

Four points settle most Antalya arrivals:

Choose the handler

Handling at Antalya is compulsory and is done by independent agents on the general aviation apron; operator listings name Bilen Air, Celebi, Fly Service, Gozen Air and Jetmate Aviation among them. Service and price differ, so we ask the operator for its preference and book the agent together with the permit, then give the driver the handler's name and not just the terminal.

Hours, permits and slots

Antalya is listed as open 24 hours, so a late arrival or an early departure is possible. The airport is also listed as slot-coordinated in the summer season, so parking and slot times are secured in writing. A charter landing needs permission from the Turkish civil aviation authority: flight-support companies advise three to five working days, and an urgent request is sometimes accepted at about 48 hours, at the authority's discretion.

Border and passport

Turkey is outside the EU and outside Schengen, and so is Britain, so there is no shortcut: you clear Turkish passport control and customs on arrival. British passport holders need no visa for up to 90 days in any 180-day period, for business or tourism, but the passport must be valid for at least 150 days after the date of arrival and have at least one blank page.

Car and the cash rule

Money may be brought into Turkey without a limit, but on the way out any foreign currency worth more than about £3,800 must be declared to customs, and Turkish lira above that value may not be taken out. For late arrivals and for Alanya the car and the driver go into the quote from the start, because a driver at the wrong door is the commonest delay on this run.

 

business aviation

 

Arrival formalities in Antalya

The arrival is simpler than the paperwork behind it. The handler meets the aircraft at the apron, passports are checked by the Turkish border police at the airport and a customs officer is on duty for the flight, usually away from the queues of the scheduled terminals. The weight of the work falls before departure: the crew's permit, the handling request and, for the passengers, a valid passport, which is where trips most often go wrong. The Foreign Office asks for a passport that expires at least 150 days after arrival and has a blank page, and a passport with four months left falls short. If the plan includes a boat trip from Kaş to the Greek island of Kastellorizo, about 6 km offshore and reached by a daily ferry, remember that Greece is in Schengen and applies the EU Entry Exit System to non-EU travellers arriving from Turkey. 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.

From the apron to the Gulf of Antalya

Antalya sits at the head of a wide gulf with the Taurus Mountains behind it, and the old town, Kaleiçi, with its Ottoman houses, a Roman harbour and the triple gate built for Hadrian, is a short drive from the airport. Most of what a private client wants lies along the coast, in both directions, and the road does the rest of the work after the landing.

Flying to Antalya with a dog or a cat

Turkey is outside the EU and runs its own veterinary rules. For a British dog or cat that means a rabies antibody blood test and an export health certificate signed by an Official Veterinarian, with the first steps taken months before a jet is booked. The animal stays beside you in the cabin.

 

private flight with animals

 

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

  • An identification microchip to ISO standard 11784 or 11785, with the rabies vaccination given after the chip is implanted, and a scanner available at the inspection;
  • A rabies vaccination with an inactivated vaccine, given when the animal is at least 90 days old;
  • A rabies antibody blood test: the sample taken at least 30 days after the vaccination, a result of at least 0.5 IU/ml from an EU-approved laboratory, and for a first test a wait of 90 days from the result before travel. Defra's own notes call the test highly recommended and the Turkish ministry asks for it, so we plan as if it is required;
  • The Defra export health certificate, completed and signed by an Official Veterinarian, with the clinical examination carried out not more than 24 hours before the flight, together with the rabies vaccination certificate;
  • No import permit for an animal that travels with its owner, but a permit is required first for an animal sent unaccompanied;
  • No more than two animals per passenger;
  • 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.

What catches owners out on the Antalya run

– The blood test sets the calendar. Vaccination, thirty days, the sample and then ninety days from the result add up to about four months before a first trip, so an animal that has not yet had the test is a project and not a booking. Later trips are simpler if the vaccine is kept in date;

– The way home is a separate set of rules. As we read the gov.uk guidance, Turkey is not on the lists of countries with simplified entry, so the stricter route for other countries applies on the return: a valid rabies vaccination, a blood test taken at least 30 days after it, a wait of three months from the sample date and a Great Britain pet health certificate. Whether a test done before the outward trip covers the return is checked for your dates, in writing, before you book;

– The dog's tapeworm treatment falls in Turkey, in the window of 24 to 120 hours before the flight back. We book the vet with the aircraft, so treatment and departure are fixed in one message and not in three.

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 Antalya calendar: sun, golf and a forum in the spring

Antalya keeps its rhythm by the weather. Summers are very hot, with July highs averaging about 35 degrees and a sea at about 28; winters are mild and wet, with January highs of about 15 degrees and the sea at about 18. Golfers and sightseers prefer the shoulder months. Knowing which week you want matters more than choosing an aircraft.

March to April
The first golf rush of the year, with March and April rated the best months on the Belek courses. The Antalya Diplomacy Forum, a three-day gathering of heads of state, foreign ministers and business leaders, is held in the spring, and in the weeks around it hotels and the general aviation apron fill with delegations
May
Warm but not yet hot, and still a good month for golf. The Turkish Airlines Open, a European Tour event staged at courses in Belek, has been played in April or May when it is on the calendar. Demand is high on the courses and moderate everywhere else
June to August
The season of the family villa, the gulet and the yacht. The city is at its hottest, with the sea at its warmest, the airport is at its busiest and the apron needs a slot; flight-support companies advise booking early from May to September. Prices for private flights sit at their highest
September to October
The heat eases and the sea stays warm. The Antalya Golden Orange Film Festival is held in the autumn, usually in September or October, the Kaleiçi Old Town Festival in October, and October is rated among the best months for golf. A good month for every kind of trip
November
Quieter, with golf still on the courses, shorter days and the first of the winter rain. Corporate groups and long-stay property viewings take the place of families
December to February
Mild and wet, the quietest season by far. Demand is thin, the sun still shines on many days and the Taurus can carry snow. The best-value months for a short winter break or for the Alanya coast

Why a golf week or a forum costs more

The aircraft is rarely the problem. Europe has plenty of light and midsize jets, and Antalya is a well-served corner of the map. The squeeze is on the ground: parking space on the general aviation apron, the handler's drivers, the hotel rooms and, in summer, a coordinated slot, all wanted by the same people on the same days. Ask for a seat on a forum weekend with two weeks to go and the answer is probably yes, at a higher price and possibly with an aircraft brought from Istanbul or Larnaca. Ask five or six weeks ahead and the same trip is simpler and cheaper. Away from those dates the only item that can slow you down is the permit.

 

Ways to bring the Antalya price down

  • Move the dates by a few days where you can. The days either side of a golf peak or a forum are calmer, and the shoulder weeks of early November and early spring cost less than the same trip in August;
  • Find out where the aircraft sleeps. One already in Istanbul, Larnaca or on the Turkish coast needs far less positioning than one flown out from Britain, and over four hours each way positioning is the biggest item after the flight itself;
  • Book early enough for the permit. It is the one step that cannot be hurried, and with two weeks in hand the operator can shop around for a cheaper aircraft;
  • Do not buy more cabin than you need. A party of four with ordinary luggage is comfortable in a light jet, while a midsize jet earns its price when the luggage or the length of the sit asks for it.

 

Types of flights

Antalya produces a different mix from the Italian or Austrian destinations we cover, because it is a holiday coast, a golf destination and a venue for international meetings at the same time.

  • Golf parties to Belek, usually in spring and autumn, with eight or twelve players, clubs in the hold and a transfer to a resort that is 25 to 35 minutes from the airport;
  • Family and villa holidays along the coast from Kemer to Kaş, where the aircraft is chosen for the children and the luggage and a helicopter or a boat finishes the journey;
  • Yacht and gulet charters, with the marina at Kemer and the small harbours of the Lycian coast as the base, and the jet used for the crew changes and the guests who join midway;
  • Delegations and forum guests in the spring, where timing is fixed and the permit is the main concern;
  • Property and investment visits to Alanya and the eastern coast, flown directly into Gazipaşa to save two hours on the road;
  • Sightseeing and cultural weekends built around Aspendos, Side and the old town, and onward legs to Cappadocia, Istanbul or the Greek islands.

A same-day trip is the exception here and a weekend is the rule. A party that stays three nights has two options: the aircraft waits, which is paid for as parking and crew time, or it goes home empty and returns for you, which costs two extra sectors. We quote both ways, because on this distance the answer is not always the one people expect.

 

Empty Legs

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

Where Antalya empty legs come from

– The summer season. Aircraft bring families and groups to the coast and leave empty a few days later, which produces westbound legs to the London fields in the second half of the week and after the school holidays begin;

– Golf weeks. Operators fly the golf parties in on a Saturday and return empty, so a flexible traveller can find a bargain departure at the end of the week;

– The spring forum and the autumn festival. Delegations arrive on a set date and the aircraft leave empty a day or two afterwards.

The Antalya corridor is long and its demand comes in lumps, so the traveller who offers three possible days will do better than the one who needs a particular Thursday. The bargain has a price of its own: the operator controls the date and the hour, and a leg disappears when the booking behind it moves. Legs on offer are listed on our empty legs page, and when one that fits Antalya is released we tell you the same day.

Helicopter charter

On this coast a helicopter is a tool for the edges of a trip and not the middle. The centre of Antalya is a short drive from the airport, and the places where a rotary flight changes the journey are the coastal strip, the villas in the hills and the water.

Before you plan around a helicopter

– Landing sites are not free for all. A hotel lawn, a yacht deck or a private villa is usable only if the authority and the operator both accept it, and we confirm that before the quote is sent. A site that a friend once used tells us nothing about this one;

– Heat and cloud decide. In July the afternoon air is thin and a helicopter lifts less, and cloud on the Taurus can ground it on a day when the jet lands normally, so every coastal transfer has a road plan behind it;

– Over water and high ground a twin-engine machine is the sensible minimum. In the busiest weeks rotary capacity runs out, so book it with the jet and not afterwards.

For hill and villa work the usual choice is the Airbus H125, for scenic and family transfers the wider H130, and where a twin is wanted the H135 or the Bell 429; larger types exist for bigger parties. The helicopter is booked in the same exchange as the jet, so that both crews work to one timetable.

Antalya charters from the booking notes: six typical trips

What the corridor looks like once a quote turns into a flight. Six typical jobs of the kind that come through our booking notes, described in outline, with the particulars changed.

GOLF · SPRING WEEK

Six golfers, six sets of clubs and a week at Belek

Birmingham - Antalya, Citation XLS+, about 4 h 30 min · 6 pax

They chose the aircraft by the clubs and not by the seats. A light jet would have carried the people and left the bags behind, so we quoted the XLS+ and the cabin took the lot. The car met them at the general aviation apron and the resort was reached in under 40 minutes. Booked six weeks ahead, in a week when the courses were full.

DELEGATION · FIXED DATES

A small party for the spring forum

London Luton - Antalya, Phenom 300E, about 4 h 10 min · 5 pax

Five people with a programme that fixed the date, laptops and printed folders. They asked for a car at the aircraft door and got it. The permit was filed early, the handler agreed the passport check on the apron beforehand, and the departure from Luton went without a single call.

VILLA WEEK · THE LONG ROAD

A family of seven and a house above the sea at Kaş

Manchester - Antalya, Citation Latitude, about 4 h 30 min · 7 pax

Kaş has no airport, and the road from Antalya is a long drive after a long flight. We priced the road, a helicopter and the Dalaman alternative, and the family kept the jet to Antalya and chose the car for the last stretch because the children slept through it. The cost of asking was one extra message.

ALANYA · THE SHORT CUT

A property viewing with a seat reserved for the agent

Biggin Hill - Gazipaşa, Phenom 300E, about 4 h 20 min · 4 pax

From Antalya the road to Alanya is about two hours, so we looked at Gazipaşa instead. A runway of 2,350 m gave a Phenom what it needed, and the party was on the road to the apartments soon after landing. A backup plan to Antalya sat in the quote in case the weather closed the field.

A DOG ON BOARD · FOUR MONTHS' NOTICE

Four adults and a spaniel for two weeks of winter sun

Southampton - Antalya, Citation XLS+, about 4 h 25 min · 4 pax + dog

The charter took one day to arrange and the dog took four months: Turkey wants the rabies blood test at least 30 days after vaccination, then 90 days from the result. The tapeworm treatment was set for a Turkish vet inside the 24 to 120 hour window and booked with the aircraft, and the villa had agreed to the dog in advance.

EMPTY LEG · SUNDAY EVENING WEST

A jet already going your way

Antalya - Farnborough, Phenom 300E empty leg, about 4 h 10 min · 3 pax

A party that had flown in for the weekend sent its aircraft home empty on the Sunday. The client offered three possible days and not one, and so paid well under a fresh one-way charter for the evening flight to the London fields.

 

Frequently asked questions about flying to Antalya

1How long is a private jet flight from London to Antalya?

About 4 hours 10 minutes from Biggin Hill, London City, Luton or Farnborough in a Phenom 300E, covering roughly 1,630 to 1,660 nautical miles. From Birmingham, Manchester or Bristol allow about 4 hours 30 in a midsize jet, and from Edinburgh or Glasgow around 4 hours 40 to 4 hours 45. Turkey is two hours ahead of Britain in summer and three hours ahead in winter, so a seven o'clock summer departure lands at about a quarter past one local time. On a long leg with a full cabin a fuel stop is sometimes planned.

2How much does a private jet to Antalya cost?

From about £20,650 one way on a light jet out of Biggin Hill or London City, and £20,950 from Luton. A midsize cabin runs £26,300 to £27,150 from the south and Midlands, £33,900 from Manchester, and from Scotland allow £35,850 to £36,400. The summer holiday weeks, the spring and autumn golf weeks and the days around the big forums price above these figures.

3Which airport should a private jet use for Antalya and Alanya?

Antalya Airport (AYT / LTAI) for almost every trip. It is about 13 km north-east of the city, listed as open round the clock, with three runways of 3,400 m, 3,400 m and 2,990 m, a general aviation apron served by independent handlers and customs and immigration on the airport. For Alanya, Gazipaşa-Alanya (GZP / LTFG) lies about 40 km east of the town and saves roughly two hours of road, but it has one runway of 2,350 m, no ILS and a localizer approach from one direction only, so we check the aircraft and the weather first.

4Do I need a visa or a permit to fly privately to Turkey?

British passport holders need no visa for up to 90 days in any 180-day period, for business or tourism, but the passport must be valid for at least 150 days after the date of arrival and have a blank page. Turkey is outside the EU and Schengen, as is Britain, so passport control and customs apply on every arrival. A charter flight needs permission from the Turkish civil aviation authority, which flight-support companies advise to request three to five working days ahead, and we arrange it with the handler.

5Can I fly on from Antalya to Kemer, Belek, Side, Kaş or Alanya?

Yes. Alanya is the only one of them with an airport nearby, Gazipaşa. Belek is 30 to 42 km from Antalya airport, a drive of 25 to 35 minutes, Kemer is 43 km west of the city, Side is 78 km east and Kaş is 168 km west, none with an airport, so a car or a helicopter finishes the trip. For Alanya the options are the road of about two hours or a landing at Gazipaşa. Dalaman and Bodrum are about an hour away in a Pilatus PC-12.

6Can I take my dog to Antalya on a private jet?

Yes. The dog travels in the cabin with you, but Turkey is outside the EU and adds a rabies antibody blood test to the usual paperwork: a microchip, a rabies vaccination, a blood test taken at least 30 days after it, a wait of 90 days from the result for a first trip, and a Defra export health certificate signed by an Official Veterinarian. For the return to Britain a dog needs a tapeworm treatment from a vet between 24 and 120 hours before landing. Cats are exempt from the treatment.
