Private jet charter in Bodrum

A jet leaving the London fields reaches the Turkish Aegean in just under four hours, and what decides the trip is settled long before take-off: a slot at the airport, a place to park the aircraft in July and a handler who knows the peninsula. Private Jets UK builds the charter around those three things. 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. Bodrum has one airport that matters, Milas-Bodrum, about 36 km from the town and open round the clock, so the real decisions are the date, how long the aircraft stays and which bay of the peninsula the car drives to afterwards.

 

 

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 Bodrum 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 (a light jet not listed in the table below, from about £19,150 one way) 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 Bodrum?

Three hours fifty-five minutes from Biggin Hill in a Citation Latitude, four hours twenty-five from Glasgow in a Challenger 350, and two hours of clock difference to add on arrival in summer, three in winter, because Turkey keeps the same time all year and Britain moves its clocks. At 1,501 to 1,775 nautical miles this is long-haul by Mediterranean standards, and it changes the choice of aircraft: the cabin has to be one you can sit in for four hours. The table gives the sector from each British field we use.

 

 

 

Prices for the private jet flights to Bodrum

Typical trips from Britain, cheapest first, all of them into the General Aviation Terminal at Milas-Bodrum. July and August, the weeks around Eid al-Adha and the October regatta week 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. If you have any questions about the departure or the flight itself, you can ask them using the form below:

 

 

Private jet flights from Bodrum

Bodrum is a good base for the Aegean: Kos is a short hop away, Mykonos and Athens are about an hour, and Istanbul is little more. Dalaman is close enough to count as the same coast. Typical one-way prices follow, and two of the rows stay inside Turkey, which carries a condition explained below the table.

 

 

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 Bodrum:

 

 

 

This is a small part of what is available. Bodrum in summer is short of parking, not of aircraft. Plenty of jets are flying in and out of the Aegean in July, so one is usually close by, in Athens, Istanbul or Dalaman, and the question we ask first is where it can wait. We look at the whole map before a price is sent.

Business aviation airports in Bodrum

Two Turkish airports and one Greek island matter, and only the first does most of the work. Which one a quote names decides the drive at the other end.

 

Four points settle most Bodrum arrivals:

 

 

Arrival formalities in Bodrum

The passengers are met at the aircraft and escorted to the General Aviation Terminal, where customs and immigration are handled on an expedited basis. The handler puts the whole process at about 20 minutes from the aircraft arriving to the car leaving. There is no limit on the foreign currency or Turkish lira you bring into Turkey, but on the way out you must declare other currency worth more than 5,000 US dollars, and you cannot take out Turkish lira above that value.

The flight itself needs a word about permission. Turkey's civil aviation authority says that general aviation flights from the countries of the European Civil Aviation Conference need no flight permit and only a notified flight plan, with the schedule reaching the air traffic unit at least three hours before departure. A charter is a commercial flight, and for those the operator applies for a landing permit through the authority, which brokers describe as taking several working days and longer in the busy season. We confirm in writing which regime applies to your aircraft, and that the permit is in hand, before payment. On the way home the British side is a General Aviation Report filed by the operator, not earlier than 48 hours and not later than 2 hours before departure.

 

 

From the apron to the marinas

The Bodrum peninsula is a string of bays, and the airport lies 36 km from the town on the Milas side. That is why the transfer, not the flight, is what clients remember. The closest high-end hotel to the airport is Le Meridien Bodrum Beach Resort, while the bays on the north coast take an hour or more by car.

Road times can swing by 20 or 30 minutes at the morning and evening peaks. A helicopter turns the run to Yalıkavak from nearly an hour into 15 to 20 minutes, and the helicopter block further down gives the figures.

 

Dalaman for Marmaris and Göcek

Dalaman is not a rival of Bodrum, it is the airport of a different coast. If the villa is at Göcek, the boat leaves from Marmaris or the guests are joining a gulet in the gulf of Fethiye, a flight to Milas-Bodrum adds a long drive for no reason. Dalaman has a 3,000 m runway, a mandatory General Aviation Terminal, processing in about 20 minutes and a high season that runs from May to November, with June to August the busiest.

Two things to know before choosing it. Slots are required for every aircraft, and the confirmed time is valid for plus or minus 20 minutes, so a late connection with a crew change is planned, not improvised. And Göcek has two marinas, D-Marin Göcek with 380 berths and Göcek Exclusive Marina, which is described as a choice for mega yachts, so the crew of a yacht often asks for Dalaman by name.

 

The Kos ferry and the Greek islands

By the clock, Kos is nearer to the Bodrum waterfront than the airport is. The passenger ferries run from the Bodrum cruise port to the port of Kos in 20 to 30 minutes on a fast catamaran or ferry, daily during the high season from April to October, with several departures a day, and May to September is the period when the service is at its best. A passport is needed even for a day trip, and most boats on the route take no cars.

 

Yachts and marinas on the peninsula

Bodrum is a yacht town first and an airport second, and many private trips are built around a boat. Yalıkavak Marina, about 20 km north-west of Bodrum, has 620 berths and takes yachts up to 140 m, and the shopping mall inside it has around 130 brand-name stores. D-Marin Turgutreis has 550 deep-water berths designed for mega yachts, Bodrum Milta Marina is the city harbour, and across at Göcek the choice is between D-Marin Göcek and Göcek Exclusive Marina.

The sailing season is the airport's season. Gulet charters run through the summer and the season closes with the Bodrum Cup, held every October and sailed mostly by traditional wooden gulets of 20 to 35 metres, with more than 150 vessels taking part. For the jet this means two kinds of trip. One is the owner or guest who flies in to join a yacht already waiting at Yalıkavak or Turgutreis, where the timing of the aircraft is often set by the crew. The other is the delivery in reverse, when the guests step off the yacht and into a helicopter or a car at the quay and the aircraft is waiting at Milas-Bodrum with a slot. We build both from the yacht end, because the airport slot is the part that has to bend and the yacht's schedule is not.

 

Flying to Bodrum with a dog or a cat

Turkey is outside the EU, so the routine that works for a weekend in Spain or Italy does not apply. A British dog or cat going to Bodrum needs a certificate from Britain on the way out and, more importantly, a plan for the way back, because Great Britain treats Turkey as a country without simplified entry. The animal sits beside you in the cabin and no hold is involved.

 

 

What the journey asks for, according to the Defra pages for exports to Turkey, the Turkish Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry and the gov.uk guidance for bringing a pet into Great Britain:

• A microchip, implanted before the rabies vaccination and checked by the vet before anything is entered on the certificate;
• A current rabies vaccination with an inactivated vaccine, given when the animal was at least 90 days old, according to Defra's guidance notes for Turkey;
• A rabies antibody blood test: a sample taken at least 30 days after the vaccination, with a result above 0.5 IU, and a wait of 90 days from the result before the first trip, according to the Turkish ministry. Defra's own notes call the test highly recommended, and because the two texts do not match we plan as if it is required;
• Defra's export health certificate for dogs, cats and ferrets going to Türkiye, applied for through Defra's online service and completed by an Official Veterinarian, whose guidance notes ask for a clinical examination no more than 24 hours before export, so the vet visit falls on the day before the flight. The Turkish ministry asks for the veterinary certificate within two days of travel and for no more than two animals per traveller;
• For the return to Britain, a Great Britain pet health certificate issued in the ten days before arrival, a rabies antibody blood test taken at least 30 days after the vaccination and showing at least 0.5 IU/ml in an EU-approved laboratory, and a wait of three months from the date of that sample;
• 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.

Ferrets, birds and anything less usual are covered in our flying with pets guide. Before a booking is taken our managers check where the blood test stands, and before the flight we confirm the entry point and the paperwork for the animal in writing.

 

The Bodrum calendar: a yacht season with a festival summer

Bodrum runs on the sea. The peak season stretches from April to October and June to August is the busiest, with temperatures often above 34 degrees, while winter is mild and wetter at 10 to 15 degrees and the airport is quiet. Knowing which week you want matters more than choosing an aircraft.

 

Ways to bring the Bodrum price down

• Move the dates a few days where you can. The shoulders of the season, May and September, are calmer than the weeks around the ballet festival and around Eid al-Adha;
• Ask where the aircraft is based. A jet already in Athens, Istanbul or Dalaman needs less positioning than one from Britain, and on a sector of four hours positioning is a large part of the bill;
• Think about the empty leg home. In summer there are many aircraft that arrive with a party and leave empty, and flights back to London, Geneva, Dubai and Istanbul are the ones most often available;
• Take the Latitude for people and luggage and the light jet only when four people carry ordinary bags. The money saved on the hour buys the helicopter at the far end.

 

Types of flights

Bodrum produces a different mix from a business capital, because most of the traffic belongs to one house, one yacht or one season.

• Family villa weeks and fortnights in July and August, usually with children and a large amount of luggage, flown into Milas-Bodrum and driven to Yalıkavak, Türkbükü or Gümüşlük;
• Yacht trips, in which guests or owners fly in to join a boat at Yalıkavak or Turgutreis, or leave one at the end of a gulet charter;
• Island-hopping with the Greek side of the Aegean, with Kos, Mykonos and Athens as the usual stops, and the passport check at each end;
• Weddings and events on the peninsula, where a group of guests needs to arrive in the same hour;
• Business visits from Istanbul and the rest of Turkey, and shorter hops to Dalaman for the Göcek and Marmaris coast;
• Sailing weeks, among them the October Bodrum Cup, with crews arriving by charter.

The long weekend deserves a second look. Over three days the aircraft either waits at the airport or goes home and returns, and in summer waiting is the harder option, because parking is limited and the slot has to be held. Both waiting and positioning are billed, and which costs less depends on the week. We quote the two side by side, and often a third in which the aircraft drops the party, moves to a nearby airport and comes back for the departure.

 

Empty Legs

An empty leg is a repositioning flight with nobody aboard, offered at a fraction of the usual price. On the Bodrum route they follow the pattern of the season, and it helps to know what produces them.

Summer brings the volume but not the certainty. A client who can give us a three-day window will see far more than one who needs a particular Sunday evening, and the price of that freedom is that the operator, not the passenger, sets the departure hour and can withdraw a leg if the original booking changes. Open offers sit on our empty legs page, and a Bodrum match is passed to you as soon as an operator releases it.

 

 

Helicopter charter

In Bodrum a helicopter is the answer to the peninsula's one weakness, the road. The bays are a long way round by road, and the places where rotary flight changes the day are the marinas, the hotel helipads and the headlands that have no road worth the name.

For the short run from the airport to a marina the Airbus H125 or the roomier H130 is the usual pick, and the H135 or the Bell 429 comes in when a twin engine is wanted. We book the helicopter with the jet so that one timetable governs both crews and the slot at the airport.
