Private jet charter in Bergen

A jet that leaves a London field after an early breakfast reaches Bergen before ten o'clock local time, and from the moment it lands the day depends on three things: what the cloud is doing over the fjords, how far the party wants to travel beyond the airport, and what the Norwegian border expects of the passengers, the bags and any animal on board. Private Jets UK arranges the charter around all three. 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. Bergen is a short flight with a long list of local conditions. Flesland has one runway and compulsory handling, Norway sits outside the EU although it is inside Schengen, and a dog has to enter through Oslo, so the decisions that matter are the date, the routing and who meets you at the apron.

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 Bergen 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 City, 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 Bergen?

Under two hours from every London field we use, with an hour of clock difference to add on arrival, because Norway keeps Central European time. At 308 to 630 nautical miles from the British fields in the table, Bergen is a comfortable light-jet sector from the whole of Britain, and from Aberdeen it is just over an hour in the air, the shortest sector in the table. The table gives the sector from each British field we use.

Prices for the private jet flights to Bergen

Typical trips from Britain, cheapest first, all of them into Bergen Flesland. The festival fortnight in late May and early June, the summer weeks and the Christmas market weekends can 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.

Private jet flights from Bergen

Bergen is the natural start for a run along the Norwegian coast. Stavanger, Ålesund and Oslo are turboprop hops of an hour or less, Trondheim is a little over an hour and a quarter, and Copenhagen and Stockholm are jet sectors that fit inside a morning. 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 Bergen:

This is a small part of what is available. Bergen sits at the western edge of the Scandinavian fleet, so outside the festival weeks there is often an aircraft already within an hour or so of Flesland, in Stavanger, Oslo or Aberdeen, and that is frequently where the better price comes from.

Business aviation airports in Bergen

One airport does the work. The others that turn up on a Norwegian quote are regional fields with short runways, and one of them is in Oslo for a reason that has nothing to do with the destination.

Four points settle most Bergen arrivals:

Border, passport and the way home

Because Norway is inside Schengen, the first landing is where the formalities happen, and a later hop to Stavanger or Ålesund is a domestic flight with no border control. Norway is not in the EU, however, so the customs side of the arrival is a real one: the quotas for food, alcohol and tobacco apply to everyone entering the country, and the value and cash limits above apply to every member of the party. The way home follows the British rules. The operator files the General Aviation Report with the British border authorities not earlier than 48 hours and not later than two hours before departure, British and Irish citizens need no electronic travel authorisation, and any passenger of another nationality should check whether one is required for the return.

From the apron to Bryggen

Bergen is a compact harbour city, and you reach it from Flesland in about the time it takes to read a briefing. Bryggen, the old wharf front, is a World Heritage Site, the Fløibanen funicular climbs from the centre to Mount Fløyen, and Hurtigruten, the coastal express, starts its daily run north from the quay here. The distances that matter run outward, to the fjords and to the neighbouring coast cities.

Flying to Bergen with a dog or a cat

Norway asks more of a pet than most of Europe, because it sits outside the EU and runs its own rules, and one of those rules decides the route of the whole flight: an animal arriving from Britain must come in through Oslo. The animal still sits beside you in the cabin, never in a hold, and on a sector this short most dogs sleep through it.

What Norway asks for:

• An ISO microchip, fitted before the rabies vaccination and not after it;
• A rabies vaccination given when the animal was at least 12 weeks old, valid from 21 days after the primary vaccination is completed;
• A health certificate from an official veterinarian, following the EU model for animals from third countries, for each trip;
• For dogs, a tapeworm treatment with praziquantel or an equivalent product, given by a vet 24 to 120 hours before entering Norway and recorded in the certificate. Cats and ferrets are exempt;
• A rabies antibody blood test, unless the country of departure is treated as a listed country; the Norwegian Food Safety Authority, Mattilsynet, confirms the position for your dates and we put it in writing;
• Notice to Mattilsynet at least 48 hours before arrival, and entry through Oslo Airport Gardermoen or Storskog, with no other crossing allowed;
• No more than five animals on a non-commercial trip.

Requirements for cats, ferrets, birds and anything less usual are collected on our flying with pets guide. For the flight home, a dog flying directly from Norway to Britain needs no tapeworm treatment; it is needed only if the dog has been elsewhere or the routing includes another country, and we confirm the entry point, the routing and the paperwork for the animal in writing before the flight.

The Bergen calendar: a festival city in a very wet place

Rain is the constant. The airport records about two metres of it a year, and the city station counts around 200 days with at least a millimetre, which is why the festivals below matter less to an aircraft than the weather over the fjords does. Add a short festival summer, a cruise season and a Christmas market, and the year has a clear shape.

Ways to bring the Bergen price down

• Shift the dates by a few days where the diary allows. The week after the festival fortnight is calmer, and so are the weeks outside the summer cruise season;
• Ask where the aircraft is based. A jet already in Stavanger, Oslo or Aberdeen needs less positioning than one coming from the south of England, and on a sector this short positioning is a large 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 pays for the car, the hotel and a helicopter hour.

Types of flights

Bergen produces a different mix from the Alpine or Mediterranean destinations we cover, because it is a working harbour city with a fjord country behind it.

• Business travel to a port city, with shipping, energy and seafood meetings on fixed dates, a small team and a request to be back in Britain the same evening;
• Festival and city-break weekends in May and June and again at Christmas;
• Fjord trips that start with the jet and continue by helicopter or seaplane over the Hardangerfjord, the Sognefjord and the glaciers;
• Cruise and coastal-ship connections, since Bergen is a cruise port and the southern end of the Hurtigruten route;
• Onward flights to Tromsø and the north in the dark months, for the northern lights.

Bergen is a workable day trip. Wheels up at seven, on the ground a little before ten local time, and off again at six in the evening gives you about eight hours in the city and puts you back in Britain by a quarter to seven. The crew waits at the airport during the meetings and that waiting time is charged, yet the total is usually below two one-way charters, and we price the route both ways so you can compare.

Empty Legs

Some jets cross the North Sea with nobody aboard, on their way to the next job, and the operator will sell that leg cheaply rather than fly it for nothing. That is an empty leg. On the Bergen route they follow the festivals and the weekends, and it helps to know what produces them.

The corridor is thinner than the busiest London routes, so a client who can name a few days rather than one has a far better chance than one who needs a particular evening. The trade is the usual one: 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 Bergen match the day an operator releases it.

Helicopter charter

In Bergen a helicopter or a seaplane is a way of seeing the fjords, not of crossing the city. The centre is small enough to cover on foot, and the places where flying changes the day are the Hardangerfjord, the Folgefonna glacier and Trolltunga to the south and east, and the Sognefjord to the north.

The machines on this ground are the single-engine Airbus H125 for the fjords and glaciers, the wider H130 for scenic and lodge 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 Bergen 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.
