Private jet charter in Blackpool

A charter from London to Blackpool takes about 45 minutes, and the runway it lands on is a short drive from the Tower, which is rarer than it sounds for a seaside resort. Private Jets UK arranges the flight around whatever brings the party here: the Illuminations, a competition on the Winter Gardens dance floor, a round at Royal Lytham, the Lakes up the motorway or a house in the Ribble Valley. 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. Blackpool Airport has a 1,868 m runway, one dedicated handler and needs prior permission but no slot, while Manchester, Liverpool and Leeds Bradford are the alternatives when the aircraft is large or the programme lies inland. From elsewhere in Britain the flight is domestic from start to finish, with no border to cross.

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 Blackpool 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 Blackpool?

About 45 minutes from Luton or Farnborough in a light jet, 50 minutes from London City or Biggin Hill, and no change of clock from anywhere in Britain. At 93 to 192 nautical miles these are short sectors, the kind where the climb and the descent take a large share of the flight and where the price meets a minimum charge before the distance counts. The table gives the sector from each British field into Blackpool Airport (BLK). Manchester, Liverpool and Leeds Bradford are left out on purpose: they lie 38, 28 and 51 nautical miles away, and no charter makes sense over a distance a car covers in an hour or so.

Prices for the private jet flights to Blackpool

Typical trips from Britain, cheapest first, all of them into Blackpool Airport. The Illuminations weekends, the Dance Festival and the Air Show can price above these figures, and the calendar block further down says when.

Every figure in the table is one of two numbers: £3,100 for the turboprop and £5,300 for the light jet. That is not rounding. A one-way charter is billed with the aircraft's return positioning, and on sectors this short a minimum charge replaces the distance calculation, so Birmingham at 95 nautical miles and Biggin Hill at 192 cost the same in the same aircraft. In practice the departure field should be chosen by the drive to the aircraft and not by the price. The nearest field is the cheapest in effect.

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 Blackpool

Blackpool is a small departure base and a lively one in season. The Isle of Man and Dublin are turboprop hops, Amsterdam and Paris are light-jet sectors of about an hour, the Alps sit at an hour and three quarters, and the Mediterranean and the Algarve are a morning for a midsize cabin. 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 Blackpool:

This is a small part of what is available. Blackpool is a short sector from Manchester, Liverpool and Leeds, and outside the busiest weekends there is usually an aircraft already within reach, so 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 around Blackpool

One airfield does the work, and three others matter when the aircraft is large or the programme lies inland. Each is described below with the handler, the hours and the kind of trip it suits.

Four points settle most Blackpool arrivals:

Border, passport and the Common Travel Area

A flight that starts and ends in Britain needs no border formalities, and this is much of the case for Blackpool when the client is coming from London, Birmingham or Glasgow. The paperwork begins with anything that touches another country, and that includes Ireland, Jersey and the Isle of Man: the government's online service for General Aviation Reports covers international flights to and from the United Kingdom, the Common Travel Area included, and domestic flights are excluded. The report is filed between 48 and 2 hours before departure, and the penalty is £2,500 for a first landing at a non-regulated aerodrome and £2,000 for each passenger carried without permission.

Blackpool is listed as an airport of entry, but customs is on prior notice and within the hours of the airfield only, and a small field has a small customs team. For an arrival from the Isle of Man, Dublin or the Continent we confirm in writing that Border Force will attend on the date and at the hour, and if it will not, the aircraft lands at Manchester or Liverpool instead. British and Irish passport holders need no Electronic Travel Authorisation, and most other visitors who do not need a visa must hold an Electronic Travel Authorisation before they board. Leaving Blackpool for the Schengen area is a different matter, because a British passport holder meets EU border checks on arrival. Give us the nationalities in the party when you ask for a quote.

From the apron to the Promenade, Lytham and the Lakes

Blackpool draws about 20 million visits a year into a strip of coast. The Tower stands 158 m high, the Golden Mile of promenade between the two piers runs 1.6 miles, the tramway carries passengers 11 miles from Starr Gate to Fleetwood, and most of the places a private party wants lie within a mile or two of the front. The distances that matter run outward, to the golf, the Ribble Valley and the lakes.

The attractions are in the middle of town and are better seen than explained. The Tower Ballroom has staged the grand finals of two series of Strictly Come Dancing, and the Tower itself is Grade I listed. The Pleasure Beach, a 42-acre park, runs from spring to November, and its Big One, 213 ft high, was the tallest roller coaster in the world when it opened. The Winter Gardens, listed Grade II*, is where the dance festival, the darts and the conferences are held, and it has hosted the trade union congress and the main party conferences in its time. A party staying two nights rarely needs more than the tram and a short taxi.

The Fylde coast runs south. Lytham St Annes, a built-up area of about 43,000 people, lies directly south of Blackpool along the A584 and has Lytham Green on the Ribble estuary, a restored windmill, Lytham Hall and four golf courses, including Royal Lytham & St Annes, which has hosted the Open Championship eleven times. It is about 3 nautical miles from the airfield, which makes Blackpool the natural airport for a golf party and Manchester a poor one.

The Ribble Valley lies inland, about 24 nautical miles to the east. Clitheroe, its largest town, has a castle as its landmark, and much of the district is in the Forest of Bowland, a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, with Stonyhurst College and the Pendle witch country close by. Clitheroe holds a food festival in early August with more than 80 Lancashire producers. A helicopter takes about 20 minutes, and the road takes a good deal longer.

The Lake District is the longest transfer. Windermere, the largest lake in England at about 11 miles from end to end, is 37 nautical miles from Blackpool in a straight line, which is about 25 minutes by helicopter. By road, Kendal is about an hour from the airfield. Bowness-on-Windermere is the main town on the shore, and a party bound for the lakes can land at Blackpool or at Manchester; the sensible choice is the one with the shortest transfer on the day, and for much of the southern lakes Blackpool is usually the shorter drive.

Flying to Blackpool with a dog or a cat

A pet on a flight from an English, Welsh or Scottish airfield to Blackpool sits in the cabin beside the owner, and nothing has to be declared, because the flight never leaves Great Britain. The one requirement is the microchip that British law already demands for a dog. Paperwork begins only when the flight starts or finishes abroad.

What each type of Blackpool flight asks of the animal:

• From England, Wales or Scotland: nothing beyond the microchip and the usual documents for the operator;
• From Northern Ireland: a dog or cat coming back to Great Britain is not checked on the way, and a dog needs no tapeworm treatment on the return from Northern Ireland. In the other direction, an animal going from Great Britain to Northern Ireland needs a separate document and notification;
• From abroad into Blackpool: a dog needs a tapeworm treatment from a vet between 24 and 120 hours before arrival, a pet travel document and a declaration are required, and no more than five animals may travel with one person. Cats do not need the tapeworm treatment;
• To the Isle of Man or Ireland: each sets its own rules for animals arriving from Great Britain, and Ireland adds a tapeworm treatment for dogs on the way in. We confirm the requirements for the destination in writing with the first quote;
• From Blackpool to the EU: a microchip fitted before or at the same time as the rabies vaccination, a rabies vaccination from 12 weeks of age followed by a 21-day wait, and an Animal Health Certificate for each trip, valid for ten days for entry to the EU. A Great Britain pet passport is not valid for entry to the EU.

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 Blackpool calendar: lights, ballroom, darts and golf

Blackpool has a long season and a few sharp peaks. The ballroom belongs to May, darts and golf to July, the air show to a weekend in August, and the lights to the autumn. Knowing which week you want matters more than choosing an aircraft.

Ways to bring the Blackpool price down

• Use the turboprop from the Midlands, the north, Wales, Scotland and Belfast. Up to about 200 nautical miles the PC-12 is £3,100 and a light jet £5,300, and eight people do not need a bigger cabin;
• Pick the departure field by the drive. Birmingham at 95 nautical miles and Glasgow at 141 cost the same, so the nearest one is the cheapest in effect;
• Ask where the aircraft sleeps. One already based in Manchester, Liverpool or Birmingham needs less positioning than one coming up from the south coast, and positioning is a big share of a short sector;
• Move the date if it can move. A midweek day in March costs less than the Saturday of the Air Show, and a weekend in the middle of the Illuminations costs less than its first one.

Types of flights

Blackpool mixes things that other British cities keep apart: a seaside resort, a ballroom, a conference venue, a golf coast and the gateway to the Lakes.

• Business and professional travel from London and the south, with a same-day return as the usual shape, and conferences and trade shows at the Winter Gardens;
• Competitors, teachers and guests for the Dance Festival and other ballroom events, flown in with their cases and often out again on the closing night;
• Golf parties for Royal Lytham & St Annes and the courses along the Fylde coast, especially in Open week, often with a helicopter booked for the last stretch;
• Weekends at the Illuminations, the Air Show and the Pleasure Beach, for families and groups who would rather not spend a day on the M6;
• Clients bound for the Ribble Valley, the Forest of Bowland and the Lake District, who want the shortest road at the end of the flight;
• Short hops to the Isle of Man and Ireland, where the scheduled service from Blackpool has ended.

The London day return is the one to look at closely. Leave Biggin Hill at seven, land at Blackpool a little before eight and be in the meeting by nine. The aircraft and crew wait at the handler, which is a real line in the quote, though it usually still beats two separate one-way charters because the aircraft is not flown home empty and then fetched again. At about 50 minutes each way it leaves most of the working day free, and the airfield is open until 20:00, so the evening is not at risk.

Empty Legs

An empty leg is a repositioning flight with nobody aboard, offered at a fraction of the usual price. Blackpool has seasonal peaks that create them, and it helps to know what produces them.

Blackpool is a regional base and not a hub on the scale of London, so a client who offers a three-day window is far likelier to find a leg than one who needs a given Friday. The operator, not the passenger, fixes the hour, and a leg can disappear if the booking behind it changes. Whatever is free is listed on our empty legs page, and we flag a Blackpool leg the day an operator releases it.

Helicopter charter

In Blackpool a helicopter is a tool for the last stretch and not for the resort. The airfield is ten minutes from the front, and the places where rotary flight changes the journey are the golf coast, the country houses of the Ribble Valley and the lakes, where the roads are slow. The airfield itself is a helicopter base: offshore crews fly twin AW169 machines from here to the Irish Sea platforms, and an air ambulance is stationed on the field. Hangar 3 lists transfers to Manchester, the Lake District and other points of interest in the north-west among its services, and we book the helicopter alongside the jet so both crews work to one timetable.

The machines on this ground are the Airbus H125 for single-engine transfers, the H130 for scenic work, the H135 and the Bell 429 where a twin is wanted. Times above are straight-line figures at a typical cruise of about 130 knots, with a few minutes added for start-up and landing.
