Private jet charter in Birmingham

From the London airfields to the West Midlands is only 64 to 98 nautical miles, a sector so short that the jet has to justify itself against a train that makes Euston to Birmingham in about an hour and ten minutes. It does so more often than you might expect: when the passengers start in Edinburgh, Dublin or Zurich, when the day takes in the NEC, Stratford and a dinner in Warwickshire, or when Birmingham is where a flight to the Gulf begins. Private Jets UK arranges the charter around whichever of those it is. 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. Birmingham Airport is a full international field with a 3,052 m runway, two business aviation handlers and customs on site, so the real decisions are the starting point, the date and whether the trip ends at the airport or carries on by helicopter.

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 Birmingham 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 Birmingham?

Thirty-five minutes from Biggin Hill in a light jet, fifty minutes from Edinburgh, and no change of clock from anywhere in Britain. At 64 to 235 nautical miles from the British fields this is the shortest sector most clients ever book, and climb and descent take up a large share of it. Dublin, Amsterdam, Paris, Frankfurt and Geneva are the usual arrivals from abroad, between 180 and 502 nautical miles, and the table gives the sector from each.

Prices for the private jet flights to Birmingham

Typical trips into Birmingham Airport, cheapest first within each group: the British airfields, then the usual arrivals from abroad. Trade-fair weeks at the NEC, the Cheltenham Festival and the British Grand Prix 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 Birmingham

Birmingham works well as a place to start a trip. A 3,052 m runway takes any aircraft that flies out of Britain, the handlers work round the clock on request, and the Midlands sit within easy reach of Dublin, the Channel coast and the Alps. Three kinds of journey leave from here: short sectors to the islands and the near Continent, ski and sun trips to Switzerland, the Riviera and the Balearics, and the Gulf and New York for passengers who would rather not drive to a London terminal first. 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 Birmingham:

This is a small part of what is available. Birmingham sits in the middle of the country, so for a booking outside the trade-fair and racing weeks there is usually an aircraft within an hour of the airport, in London, Manchester or Dublin, and that is often where the better price comes from.

Business aviation airports in Birmingham

One airport does nearly all of the work. The others matter for specific reasons, and it helps to know them before a quote arrives with one of them in it.

Four points settle most Birmingham arrivals:

Border, passport and the General Aviation Report

Arriving from abroad, the aircraft must land at a customs-designated airport or a regulated aerodrome, and Birmingham is one of the airports of entry. The captain and the owner or agent file the report, it can be submitted no earlier than 48 hours and no later than 2 hours before departure, and a change of aircraft, passengers or arrival airfield means a fresh one. Border Force decides whether each person needs permission to enter, and anyone who does must be told before leaving the aircraft.

Going out, the rule that catches Britons is the passport. For the Schengen area it must have been issued less than ten years before arrival and be valid for at least three months beyond the day you plan to leave, and the stay is limited to 90 days in any 180. A first visit to the Schengen area also brings registration of fingerprints and a photograph under the EU entry system, at the first airport you land at.

From the apron to the Bullring

Birmingham is the second city of the United Kingdom and the commercial centre of the Midlands, with Brindleyplace, the Jewellery Quarter, the Bullring and Symphony Hall all inside the ring road, and the airport sits 13 km out to the east. What matters on arrival is not the distance to the centre but where the day actually happens, because the NEC, the Cotswolds and the Warwickshire motor industry each pull in a different direction.

Flying to Birmingham with a dog or a cat

Britain's rules for an arriving animal are mostly about dates and about having the right document for the country it is leaving. A pet usually travels in the cabin beside you on a private flight. What matters is that the microchip, the rabies vaccination and the paperwork are in order before the aircraft is booked and not after.

What Britain asks for when a dog or cat arrives:

• A microchip, fitted before the rabies vaccination and not after it;
• A rabies vaccination, with at least 21 full days between the first jab (or the last of the first course) and travel;
• A travel document that depends on the departure country. From the EU it is an EU pet passport, an animal health certificate issued in Britain within the last six months, or a Great Britain pet health certificate. The USA, the UAE, Canada, Japan and most other listed countries need the Great Britain certificate, and a country that is not listed adds a rabies blood test;
• A signed declaration that the pet is travelling with you and will not be sold or rehomed;
• For dogs, a tapeworm treatment from a vet no less than 24 hours and no more than five days before arrival in Britain, recorded on the document;
• More than five pets, or a pet arriving more than five days before or after you, falls under extra commercial rules, with an exception for animals travelling to a show, competition or sporting event.

Requirements for cats, ferrets, birds and anything less usual are collected on our flying with pets guide, and our managers confirm the position in writing for your dates before a booking is taken.

The Birmingham calendar: a trade-fair city with a racing habit

Birmingham keeps a calendar set by exhibitions and, on either side of the city, by Cheltenham and Silverstone. The NEC fills in February, March and September, Cheltenham falls in the same month as Crufts, Silverstone is in July, and the city centre turns German in November. Knowing which week you want matters more than choosing an aircraft.

Ways to bring the Birmingham price down

• Take the turboprop on anything under about 161 nautical miles. The PC-12 quote from Bristol, Cardiff or Newcastle is £3,100, against £5,300 for a light jet, and for eight people with ordinary bags the cabin is not the constraint;
• Ask where the aircraft is based. A jet already in Birmingham, Manchester or Dublin takes less positioning than one from the Continent, and on a short sector positioning is a large share of the bill;
• Move the dates by a few days where you can. Outside the NEC weeks aircraft and hotels are easier to find.

Types of flights

Birmingham produces a different mix from the capital cities we cover, because it is a manufacturing and exhibition city, the gateway to racing country and the starting point for long-haul flights from the Midlands all at once.

• Trade-fair and exhibition travel to the NEC, with fixed dates, heavy luggage and the airport five minutes from the halls;
• Motor-industry business in Warwickshire, where Aston Martin has its headquarters and Jaguar Land Rover an engineering centre at Gaydon, close to junction 12 of the M40;
• Racing and motorsport, meaning the Cheltenham Festival in March and the British Grand Prix at Silverstone in July, usually with a helicopter on the end;
• Show-dog travel for Crufts, with the paperwork described above;
• Weekends in Stratford-upon-Avon and the Cotswolds, flown from Dublin, Paris or Switzerland;
• Long-haul departures to the Gulf and New York from a 3,052 m runway.

A same-day return deserves a closer look, but not from London. A same-day return from Edinburgh takes under an hour each way in a Phenom 300E, and from Dublin or Zurich the day is longer but workable. 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. From London we quote it both ways and, as a rule, let the train win.

Empty Legs

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

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

Helicopter charter

In Birmingham a helicopter is a tool for the edges of a trip and not the middle. The centre is ten minutes from the airport by train, and the places where rotary flight changes the journey are the circuit at Silverstone, the racecourse at Cheltenham and the country houses of Warwickshire and the Cotswolds.

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