Private jet charter in Belfast

A jet leaving a London field reaches Belfast in about an hour, over the sea and with no border at the far end, because the flight is domestic from the first minute to the last. Private Jets UK arranges the charter around whatever the trip is for. 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. Belfast has two airports with very different habits. George Best Belfast City stands about three miles from the centre and closes its airfield in the evening, while Belfast International lies some 13 miles out and keeps going all night, so most of the planning is a choice between the two, followed by a decision on how much of the Antrim coast the second day should take.

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 Belfast 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 Belfast?

About an hour from the London fields in a light jet, 35 to 40 minutes from Glasgow, and no change of clock from anywhere in Britain. At 94 to 302 nautical miles this is a short sector, the kind where the climb and the descent take a large share of the flight and where the price runs into a minimum charge long before the distance matters. The table gives the sector from each British field into George Best Belfast City; Belfast International lies 5 to 12 nautical miles further on, which adds a minute or two.

Prices for the private jet flights to Belfast

Typical trips from Britain, cheapest first, all of them into George Best Belfast City. The Open week, the North West 200 and the Giants home games can price above these figures, and the calendar block further down explains when.

Eight of the 15 sectors carry the same price, £3,100, and that is not rounding. A one-way charter is billed with the aircraft's return positioning, and on a short sector a minimum charge takes over from the distance. Every PC-12 sector up to about 205 nautical miles lands on it, which is why Glasgow, Manchester and Birmingham cost the same to Belfast, and why the field you can reach fastest by car is usually the right one.

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 Belfast

Belfast sends a different mix from the London fields. Dublin and Derry are turboprop hops, Amsterdam and Paris are a light-jet hour and a half, the Alps and the Mediterranean sit at two to three hours, and the Gulf and New York are long-haul departures that normally leave from Belfast International and not from the city airport. 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.

Online Calculator

If you want to make an urgent calculation of the cost of a private plane flight, use our online calculator. Just fill in all the fields of the form with a note that you are interested in a specific model of the aircraft and get the final price. NB! - the figures are sent to you by email or messenger, please carefully fill in the contact details to get the calculation.

All our calculations are as transparent as possible for you. After receiving the request, we will prepare a beautiful offer - where the costs and the final price will be clearly described. The exact price is agreed in advance and is written in the contract, so you can be sure of the final cost.

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 Belfast:

This is a small part of what is available. Belfast sits within an hour of London, Manchester, Glasgow and Dublin, so for a booking that does not fall in an event week there is usually an aircraft already within reach, and a quote may name one of those cities as the positioning point. That is normal and often where the better price comes from.

Business aviation airports in Belfast

Two airports share the work, and choosing between them is the most important decision in the quote. Two more matter when the programme leaves the Belfast area.

Four points settle most Belfast arrivals:

Passport, customs and the road south

A flight from Great Britain to Belfast is domestic. The police guidance for Northern Ireland says that a flight arriving at or leaving a designated airport needs no General Aviation Report, and Belfast International, George Best Belfast City and City of Derry are all designated airports. There is nothing to file, nothing to declare and no officer at the foot of the steps. The Windsor Framework arrangements for Northern Ireland concern trade goods and animals, not passengers, so for a private party the part that matters is the pet rules further down.

An arrival from outside the Common Travel Area is different. Coming in from Paris, Geneva or Dubai, the aircraft lands at a customs airport, a General Aviation Report is filed between 48 and 2 hours before departure, and Border Force decides who may enter. Most visitors who need no visa must still hold an Electronic Travel Authorisation; British and Irish citizens do not.

The road south is the other thing to know. Driving to Dublin takes the party into the Republic of Ireland, where the entry rules for visitors who are not British or Irish citizens, and the EU rules for animals, apply. Tell us the nationalities and any pets when you ask for the quote and we check the position for your dates.

From the apron to the Titanic Quarter

Belfast is a city of about 350,000 people, with some 700,000 in the wider urban area, built on the River Lagan at the head of Belfast Lough. The centre is compact, the Titanic Quarter on Queen's Island sits beside the harbour on the bus line that joins City Hall to the City Airport, and the distances that matter are the ones that run outward, to the Causeway Coast, to Derry and to Dublin.

The Giant's Causeway is the destination most of our clients ask about after the meeting. About 40,000 interlocking basalt columns on the County Antrim coast, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and largely owned by the National Trust, it is open to walkers free of charge, but parking near it is limited and the visitor centre car park is reserved for members and ticket holders, so a chauffeur-driven group should book it in advance. The Dark Hedges, the avenue of beech trees on the Bregagh Road between Armoy and Stranocum that stood in for the King's Road in Game of Thrones, is a short detour inland from the same coast. Traffic is banned on part of the road, so the car stops at the end and the party walks.

Flying to Belfast with a dog or a cat

Northern Ireland is part of the United Kingdom, but for a pet it is not treated like England, Scotland or Wales. A dog or cat travelling from Great Britain needs its own document and the right notice, and the flight itself is the easy part: the animal normally sits beside you in the cabin, and on a sector of about an hour most simply sleep.

What Northern Ireland asks for when a dog, cat or ferret arrives from Great Britain:

• A microchip, checked against the document when the animal arrives;
• A Northern Ireland Pet Travel Document, which a Great Britain resident applies for online at no charge, once, with no visit to a vet, and which lasts as long as the owner has the pet;
• Notice to the Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs (DAERA) at least 10 working days before a flight that carries the animal, sent by email to its trade imports team;
• No more than five animals per traveller, unless they are attending or training for an event;
• With the document, neither a rabies vaccination nor a tapeworm treatment is required for entry to Northern Ireland itself, and a dog coming back to Great Britain from Northern Ireland needs no tapeworm treatment either.

Requirements for cats, ferrets, birds and anything less usual are collected on our flying with pets guide. We confirm the entry point and the paperwork for the animal in writing before the flight.

The Belfast calendar: a harbour city with a coast on its doorstep

Belfast has a winter of hockey and weekend breaks, a spring of festivals and road racing, and a July in which one golf course on the north coast can take every hotel room within an hour of it. Knowing which week you want matters more than choosing an aircraft.

Ways to bring the Belfast price down

• Take the turboprop from the north and the Midlands. On sectors under about 200 nautical miles the PC-12 quote is £3,100 against £5,300 for a light jet, and for eight people with ordinary bags the cabin is not the constraint;
• Choose the field you can reach fastest. Glasgow, Manchester and Birmingham carry the same price to Belfast, so the saving is in the drive to the airfield and not in the choice of it;
• Ask where the aircraft is based. A jet already in Belfast, Dublin or Glasgow takes less positioning than one from the south of England, and on a short sector positioning is a large share of the bill.

Types of flights

Belfast produces a different mix from the capital cities we cover, because it is the capital of Northern Ireland with its own business life, the gateway to a famous stretch of coast, and a second airport that suits long-haul departures.

• Business and professional travel into the city, usually a morning in and an afternoon out, with the city airport about three miles from the centre;
• Golf parties for the Causeway Coast, with Royal Portrush offering the Dunluce and Valley courses and Galgorm Castle a tournament venue near Ballymena;
• Sport and events: the Giants in winter, the North West 200 in May and the Open when it returns to Portrush;
• Coast and heritage weekends built on the Giant's Causeway, the Dark Hedges, the Game of Thrones locations and Titanic Belfast;
• Hops across the island to Dublin and Derry, by air or by the road through Newry;
• Long-haul departures to the Gulf and New York from Belfast International, where the 2,780 m runway has no equivalent at the city airport.

The day trip needs a closer look. Leave Biggin Hill at seven and you land a little after eight, and the return has to lift off before the city airfield closes at 21:30, which in practice means leaving the meeting by late afternoon. A same-day return means the aircraft and crew wait for you rather than going home, and that waiting is paid for, but it usually comes out cheaper than two separate one-way charters. A longer stay is a different quote and, if the evening is the point, a different airport.

Empty Legs

An empty leg is a repositioning flight with nobody aboard, offered at a fraction of the usual price. Belfast has no single peak that creates them, so they come from the pattern of events and from the short island sectors, and it helps to know what produces them.

Because the Belfast 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 a Belfast match the day an operator releases it.

Helicopter charter

In Belfast a helicopter is a tool for the coast and not for the city. The centre is three miles from the city airport and easy to cross by car, and the places where rotary flight changes the journey are the north Antrim shore, the golf courses and the long road to Derry.

The machines on this ground are the Airbus H125 for the quick transfers, the wider H130 for country-house and course 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.

Flight payment options

The main goal of our company is to provide the highest level of comfort to our customers. Therefore, we're always ready to meet you halfway. Our consultants will offer you a wide variety of flights to meet your needs and budget. Most customers prefer a non-cash method (a transfer to an EU bank account), which guarantees a high level of confidentiality and security of payment. All payment details are provided in advance, so you'll have enough time to make the necessary checks. For years of working in business aviation, our company has gained an impeccable reputation. We practice transparency and are always ready to present all necessary documents.

Private Jets UK works with both physical and legal entities. We guarantee the confidentiality and security of payments. You can pay for the flights from Belfast in any convenient way:

• cashless (by transfer to our account);
• by cash;
• by card;
• by cryptocurrency.

Our company works with European and British banks, which allows you to choose the most convenient payment method. In addition, we conclude formal agreements and provide our clients with all necessary documents and invoices, which guarantees the safe payment and delivery of services. If you have any financial questions, feel free to contact our private aviation consultants.

If you need to book an urgent flight, please keep in mind that the bank transfer can take a few days. In such situations, we may need to involve our partner companies so that you can pay for your flight in cash. If you have any questions, you can contact your personal consultant 24/7.

Flights from the UK to Belfast

Biggin Hill, London City, Luton and Farnborough send most of the London traffic on this corridor, with Southampton behind them, but the shortest sectors come from the north: Glasgow, Edinburgh, Liverpool, Manchester, Newcastle and Leeds are all within about 160 nautical miles of the city airport, a turboprop trip of under an hour. The price table higher up covers 15 of those pairings. 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.
