Private jet charter in Bremen

Bremen is an hour and twenty minutes from the London fields by light jet, close enough that most trips are a morning meeting in the city and a bed at home by night. Private Jets UK arranges the charter around the day you have in mind. 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. Bremen is small, quick and a little unusual: the airport lies 3.5 km from the centre, the customs desk closes before the evening is out, and there is no separate business aviation terminal, so the real decisions are the departure time, the handling and what happens on the coast.

 

private jet charter

 

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 Bremen 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 Bremen?

An hour and twenty minutes from Biggin Hill or London City in a light jet, an hour and a half from Southampton or Manchester, and under an hour and three quarters from Glasgow. Bremen keeps Central European time, one hour ahead of Britain, so a departure at seven in the morning lands a little after nine local time. At 347 to 510 nautical miles this is one of the shortest continental sectors we fly from Britain, short enough that a light jet is comfortable for everyone and a heavy aircraft is wasted. The table gives the sector from each British field we use.

Door to door, and the tram on the way in

Leave a London airfield at seven and you are on the ground at Bremen shortly after nine, local time. The airport lies about 3.5 km south of the centre, a private car covers that in roughly ten minutes, and the airport tram, line 6, reaches the city centre in about eleven. Add the drive to the British airfield and the quick processing at both ends and central London to central Bremen comes to roughly three hours, with no connection to miss and no hub to cross.

Light jet or midsize: the question that comes up on this route

– Up to about four people with ordinary bags, a light jet is the right answer and the saving over a midsize cabin is real. Under an hour and a half in a CJ3+ or a Phenom is comfortable, and nothing about Bremen asks for more;

– Past that, or with sample cases, demonstration kit, a dog, or a team that wants to work in the air, we quote a midsize jet alongside it so you see both figures. The main runway is about 2,040 m, enough for light, midsize and super-midsize aircraft;

– Heavy aircraft make sense only when Bremen is the first leg of something longer, to the Gulf or beyond. For a full long-range load, Hamburg and Hannover offer far longer runways, and we will say so in the quote.

Private jet flights from Bremen

Bremen is a useful base for a northern loop. Hannover and Hamburg lie about 120 km and 110 km away, a distance a jet seldom beats, and we say plainly when it is the wrong tool. Where the aircraft earns its place is the three-stop day, the trip to a sea island, and the continuation to Berlin, Frankfurt, Paris or Munich. Typical one-way prices:

The North Sea coast: when a turboprop beats the ferry

Norderney is about 71 nautical miles from Bremen and the island airfield has a 1,000 m asphalt runway, lit for night flying, which stays usable in winter when ice stops the boats. A Pilatus PC-12 is the right aircraft, and the saving over a jet is large on a sector this short. Sylt, 118 nautical miles away, is a different proposition: two paved runways of about 1,700 m and 2,120 m, a summer-weighted timetable and room for aircraft the size of a Boeing 737, so jets and turboprops are both at home there. Heligoland is the exception. The airfield sits on the neighbouring Düne island with a runway of only about 480 m, takes aeroplanes up to 5,700 kg, and is reached from the main island by ferry. A jet cannot use it, so most clients go by helicopter instead.

Before you accept an onward quote

– Which airfield, and what it will take. Every island strip has its own weight and runway limits, and a quote that ignores them will change. We confirm access to Norderney, Sylt or Heligoland in writing before the price is final;

– Whether the itinerary is one booking. Bremen to Hamburg to Berlin over a day costs noticeably less arranged as a single trip, because the aircraft and crew stay with you and do not return to Bremen between legs. The fixed costs of a flight set a floor under the price, which is why Hannover at 50 nautical miles and Amsterdam at 159 cost the same.

 

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:

Turbopropsfrom £850/h
Small jet£1,700 - 2,500/h
Light jet£2,100 - 3,000/h
Medium-sized jet (Citation XLS+, Hawker 800XP)£3,000 - 3,700/h
Large medium-class jet (Challenger 300)£4,600 - 5,500/h
Large jet (Legacy 600)£4,900 - 5,800/h
Long-haul jet (Global 5000, G550, Falcon 7X)£5,800 - 8,800/h

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 Bremen:

 

Light jets, and where most bookings land

At about an hour and twenty from London this is still the sensible class for up to four people with ordinary luggage. Nothing here lacks range for Bremen, so the money goes on the departure time and not on capability you will not use.

HondaJet Elite · 5 seatsfrom £1,900/h
Cessna Citation CJ3+ · 7 seatsfrom £2,400/h
Embraer Phenom 300E · 8 seatsfrom £2,600/h
Cessna Citation CJ4 Gen2 · 8 seatsfrom £2,700/h

Midsize, for sample cases and a long day

Demonstration kit, a team with laptops that wants to work on the way, or a Scottish departure that stretches to an hour and forty are what push a party past the light-jet cabin.

Learjet 75 Liberty · 8 seatsfrom £3,000/h
Cessna Citation XLS+ · 9 seatsfrom £3,100/h
Cessna Citation Latitude · 9 seatsfrom £3,900/h
Embraer Praetor 600 · 9 seatsfrom £3,400/h

Super-midsize and large

For a delegation travelling as one party, and for trips that carry on from Bremen to the Gulf or further rather than turning round. For a heavy departure with a long sector we check the runway first.

Bombardier Challenger 350 · 9 seatsfrom £4,000/h
Bombardier Challenger 605 · 12 seatsfrom £4,350/h
Dassault Falcon 2000LXS · 10 seatsfrom £4,900/h
Gulfstream G450 · 13 seatsfrom £5,800/h

Turboprops

The right aircraft for the coast: Norderney and Sylt are under an hour away, and the saving over a jet on that distance is large. A turboprop is also the sensible choice for the short German hops.

Pilatus PC-12 NGX · 9 seatsfrom £1,400/h
Beechcraft King Air 350 · 9 seatsfrom £1,650/h

Helicopters

Not for the flight from Britain but for the sea: Heligoland, the East Frisian islands and the Weser estuary. A site where a helicopter may put down is agreed before the quote.

Airbus H125 · 5 seatson request
Airbus H130 · 6 seatson request
Airbus H135 · 6 seatson request
Bell 429 · 6 seatson request

 

online private jet directory

 

This is a small part of what is available. Bremen sits between the Hamburg fleet to the north-east, the Hannover fleet to the south-east and the Rhine-Ruhr and Amsterdam fleets to the west, so for a booking that does not fall on a fair weekend there is often an aircraft within reach of the airport, and that is where the better price usually comes from.

Business aviation airports in Bremen

One airport does nearly all of the work. Hamburg and Hannover are the two fallbacks worth knowing, and the coast has three fields that matter for specific trips. It helps to know them before a quote arrives with one of them in it.

Airport What it gives you
Bremen Airport
BRE / EDDW
The answer for almost every trip. It lies 3.5 km south of the centre, with a main runway of 2,040 m by 45 m and a second, 700 m runway reserved for aircraft up to 5.7 tonnes. There is no separate business aviation terminal: private passengers go through the central security control in Terminal 1, and the airport's flight-line marshaller moves passengers, crew and baggage to the aircraft, orders Jet A-1, de-icing and ground power, and arranges limousines
Hamburg
HAM / EDDH
The big-runway alternative, about 8.5 km north of the city centre and some 110 km from Bremen, with runways of 3,250 m and 3,666 m. Worth a look for a heavy long-range departure, for a trip that is really to Hamburg, or when the evening return would otherwise run into the Bremen night rule
Hannover
HAJ / EDDV
About 120 km from Bremen and 11 km north of the centre of Hannover, with a 3,800 m runway, round-the-clock operation and its own general aviation building, the Karl Jatho Terminal. It fills in the trade fair weeks, so it is a fallback for Bremen only outside them
Norderney
EDWY
An island strip on the East Frisian coast with a 1,000 m asphalt runway, used as a lifeline in winter when ice stops the ferries. A destination for a turboprop trip, not an alternative to Bremen
Sylt
EDXW
The North Sea resort airport, with two paved runways of about 1,700 m and 2,120 m. Most traffic is seasonal and weighted to summer. Reached from Bremen in a turboprop or a light jet
Heligoland Düne
EDXH
The island airfield on Düne, with a runway of about 480 m and a limit of 5,700 kg for aeroplanes. No use to a jet, and a helicopter or the ferry is the way across

 

Four points settle most Bremen arrivals:

Handling at Bremen

With no FBO building, the airport's flight-line marshaller does the work: he moves passengers, crew and baggage between aircraft and terminal, orders fuel, de-icing and ground power, and arranges limousines. Passengers leave the security area through Gate 1, crews use their own staircase in Terminal 1, and landing fees can be paid by card. Other requests go to Aviation Handling Service Bremen. We book it all in writing.

Hours, customs and the night rule

The general aviation desk works from 06:00 to 22:00 and the customs office clears travellers daily from 05:30 to 21:30. Bremen has a night restriction rather than a ban, running from about 22:30 to 06:00; exceptions come from the aviation authority and go mainly to emergencies, diversions and state flights. Plan the return to leave well before half past nine. Sources disagree on slots and compulsory handling, so we confirm both in writing.

Border and passport

Britain is outside Schengen, so an arrival at Bremen is an external border: the federal police check passports and the customs office deals with the bags, inside the terminal. British passport holders need no visa for a trip of up to 90 days in any 180, with a passport under ten years old and valid three months beyond departure. A first-time visitor may be asked for a photograph and fingerprints. A guest who does not hold a British or Irish passport usually needs a UK ETA, or a visa, for the flight home.

Car, tram and fair days

Give us the pickup point and not just the airport, because Bremen is small and a driver waiting at the wrong door loses the time the flight saved. The tram is quick, about eleven minutes to the centre, but with bags and a dinner appointment most clients want the car. On Freimarkt and Christmas market days tell us where you are staying, so the drop-off is planned before the quote.

 

business aviation

 

Border, passport and the Hamburg question

Land where the meeting is. The arrival formalities are done at whichever German airport you reach first, and the road between Bremen and Hamburg lies inside the Schengen area, so there is no border control on the way. If the day is in Hamburg, land in Hamburg and send the car to Bremen empty; the formalities are the same and you save the drive.

 

passport and customs paperwork for a private jet flight

 

From the apron to the Weser

Bremen is a city you reach in a quarter of an hour from the apron and then cross on foot. The market square, the Town Hall and the Roland statue, both on the UNESCO list, Böttcherstrasse and the Schnoor quarter all sit in one compact circle, and the distances that matter run outward, to Bremerhaven, to Hamburg and to Hannover.

Flying to Bremen with a dog or a cat

Germany asks for more paperwork than the flight takes, and the flight is short enough that most animals sleep through it. The animal sits beside you in the cabin with no hold involved. What matters is the date on the certificate, because it has a ten-day life for entry from the day it is issued.

 

private flight with animals

 

What Germany asks for:

  • An ISO microchip, fitted before the rabies vaccination or at the same time, never after it;
  • A rabies vaccination given when the animal was at least 12 weeks old, with 21 days elapsed before entry;
  • An Animal Health Certificate from an Official Veterinarian, issued within ten days of entry to the EU and valid for the return to Britain as stated on the certificate. A pet passport issued in England, Scotland or Wales cannot be used for entry;
  • No more than five animals per traveller, presented to the customs office at the first point of entry, which at Bremen is the customs office on the airport grounds that also carries out animal checks;
  • For dogs, a tapeworm treatment from a vet between 24 and 120 hours before the return flight to Britain, recorded with product, date and time. Cats are exempt.

What catches owners out on the Bremen run

– Germany asks for no tapeworm treatment on the way in, only before the way home, so it is a vet appointment you book in Bremen, towards the end of the stay, and not something you do before leaving. On a two-night trip the window is tight, so we fix the appointment before the flight is booked;

– The certificate has to be a fresh one for every trip. An animal whose rabies vaccination lapses during the stay loses the right to re-enter on it, and on the return the dog also needs the pet travel document and declaration that Britain requires;

– A dog on a Christmas market weekend is an ordinary booking. Settle the hotel and any onward helicopter before the quote, because a hotel must accept the animal and a rotary operator must agree to it separately.

Requirements for cats, ferrets, birds and anything less usual are collected on our flying with pets guide. For a private flight with an animal into Britain we confirm the entry point and the paperwork for the animal in writing before the flight, and our managers confirm the position for your dates before a booking is taken.

 

The Bremen calendar: funfairs, a motor show and a Weser summer

Bremen has fewer peak weeks than a ski resort or a festival city, and the ones it has are easy to name. October belongs to the Freimarkt, winter opens with the collectors, summer is for the river and December is for the markets. Knowing which week you want matters more than choosing an aircraft.

January
The Eiswette, the traditional ice wager, and the Sixdays cycle race fall in January. It is the quiet end of the year, a good moment to ask for a flexible date
Early February
Bremen Classic Motorshow at the exhibition centre: three days, eight halls and more than 730 exhibitors, dealers and private sellers from ten countries, with over 100 brand clubs. A collectors' and traders' fair, where parties are usually small and the trip is often a single day
Late March to April
The Osterwiese on the Bürgerweide, about 17 days from late March into April, with some 200 stalls and rides open every afternoon and evening. April also brings Jazzahead!
May and June
Museums Night in May, La Strada street theatre and UNESCO World Heritage Day in June. Steady, well spread, and an easy time to book
July and August
The Breminale on the Weser bank and the open-air summer theatre in July, the Maritime Festival in August. The riverfront is where the city spends the summer, and leisure travel pulls towards the coast
September
Musikfest Bremen, with an opening night of 24 concerts in eight venues around the market square, and Maritime Festival Week. Cultural rather than corporate, and kind to the diary
Mid to late October
The Freimarkt: about 17 days on the Bürgerweide next to the main station, with more than four million visitors, the largest funfair in northern Germany. It dates back almost a thousand years and the city is at its fullest of the year
Late November to Christmas
The Christmas market round the market square and the Schlachte-Zauber, the medieval-style winter village along the Weser promenade, open until 23 December. Weekend city breaks by air, often a small party and sometimes a dog

Why a fair week costs more

Not the flying. The northern German light and midsize fleet is large and Bremen is well placed in it. What gets tight on a Freimarkt or Christmas market weekend is hotel rooms, taxis and cars near the Bürgerweide and the market square, and, with the night rule in force, the evening departure. A booking made a fortnight before a fair can still be done, but it tends to cost more and to leave less choice of departure time. Made five or six weeks earlier, the same booking is simpler. Outside those weeks a charter can usually be arranged in a day or two.

 

Ways to bring the Bremen price down

  • Move the dates a few days where you can. The week after the Freimarkt is calm, and so is the stretch between New Year and the Classic Motorshow;
  • Ask where the aircraft is based. A jet already in Hamburg, Hannover, Amsterdam or Düsseldorf needs less positioning than one from Britain, and on a sector of this length positioning is a meaningful 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 buys the car and the hotel.

 

Types of flights

Bremen produces a different mix from a resort or a capital, because the city is a port, an aerospace town and a university town at once, and it is the gateway to a coast that has its own demand.

  • Industry and aerospace visits. Airbus makes wing high-lift systems and A400M fuselage sections in Bremen, the space company OHB has its headquarters here, and Mercedes-Benz runs a car plant in the city. Timing is fixed by the visit and a same-day return is normal;
  • Port, shipping and logistics business. Bremen and Bremerhaven together form Germany's second-largest port after Hamburg, and Bremerhaven is Europe's leading city for car imports and exports;
  • Cruise departures. Bremerhaven has a dedicated cruise terminal, the Columbus Cruise Center, and a shipyard that refits large cruise liners. Passengers fly to Bremen and drive 58 km;
  • Research and universities, from the Max Planck Institute for Marine Microbiology to the polar research aircraft of the Alfred Wegener Institute, which are based at the airport;
  • City-break weekends built around the old town, the Christmas market and the fairs, and hops to the islands.

The day trip is worth a closer look. A same-day return means 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. Leaving at seven and coming back by early evening gives you a full working day in Bremen and a bed in your own house. At Bremen the clock is the constraint: customs clears travellers until 21:30, so we build the return around that, and on this route we quote it both ways so the difference is visible.

 

Empty Legs

An empty leg is a repositioning flight with nobody aboard, offered at a fraction of the usual price. Bremen is a thin corridor for them, because it is a small airport with few based aircraft, and it helps to know what produces the ones that do appear.

Where Bremen empty legs come from

– Fair and market weekends. Aircraft bring parties in for the Freimarkt, the Classic Motorshow or the Christmas market and leave empty a day later, and that Sunday evening leg west or south is the one most often offered;

– Neighbouring hubs. Hamburg and Hannover are the big bases, and aircraft working trade fairs and meetings there often pass through or return to Britain empty;

– The summer coast. Sylt and the islands pull aircraft north between May and September, and the short legs between Bremen, Hamburg and the coast can be cheap.

Because the Bremen corridor is thin, 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 Bremen leg the day an operator releases it.

Helicopter charter

In Bremen a helicopter is a tool for the sea and not for the city. The old town is small enough to cross by car or tram, and the places where rotary flight changes the journey are Heligoland, the East Frisian islands and the Weser estuary down to Bremerhaven. Bremen Airport has a helipad of its own, so a transfer can start at the terminal.

Bremen to Heligoland

78 nautical miles across the German Bight, to an island where cars and bicycles are generally banned
about 45 minutes
Bremen to Norderney

71 nautical miles to the East Frisian island, the alternative to the ferry
about 40 minutes
Bremen Airport to Bremerhaven

the cruise terminal and the port, 58 km downstream
about 20 minutes
Bremen to Sylt

118 nautical miles to the northern island, for the summer season

Before you plan around a helicopter

– A helicopter cannot land wherever it likes. Outside an aerodrome a landing site normally needs approval, which means a hotel lawn, a harbour quay or a private villa has to be confirmed before we quote and not after;

– North Sea weather sets the schedule. Fog and wind over the water can stop a helicopter on a day when the jet lands without trouble, so an island transfer needs a ferry or road alternative planned into the same day;

– Twin-engine machines are the sensible minimum on any route over open water. At the busiest summer and fair weekends, book the helicopter together with the jet or expect to be told there is no rotary capacity.

The machines on this ground are the Airbus H125 for light passenger work, the wider H130 for scenic and island 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.

Bremen charters from the booking notes: six typical trips

What the corridor looks like once a quote turns into a flight. Six typical jobs of the kind that come through our booking notes, described in outline, with the particulars changed.

DAY TRIP · OUT AND BACK

A morning at an aerospace supplier and home for dinner

Biggin Hill - Bremen and return, Citation CJ3+, about 1 h 20 min each way · 4 pax

Wheels up at seven, on the ground at Bremen a little after nine local time and in the meeting by ten. The aircraft and crew waited on the apron rather than going home, which is a real line in the quote and still comes in below two separate one-way charters. The return left in the late afternoon, well before the customs desk closed, and the party was back in Kent for dinner.

FEBRUARY · THE CLASSIC MOTORSHOW

Two dealers and a buyer for the collectors' weekend

London Luton - Bremen, Phenom 300E, about 1 h 15 min · 3 pax

A three-day fair across eight halls. The party wanted to arrive for the opening and leave on the Sunday evening. We booked the hotel pickup and the late-afternoon departure together, because cars are the scarce item on a fair weekend and the aircraft is not.

CRUISE · THE PORT AT THE END OF THE FLIGHT

Six passengers and a sailing from Bremerhaven

Farnborough - Bremen, Citation XLS+, about 1 h 25 min · 6 pax

The cruise terminal is in Bremerhaven, 58 km from the airport, and the sailing time was fixed. The aircraft landed the evening before and a transfer car took the party to the terminal in the morning. The luggage for a two-week voyage is what moved the quote up a class, not the number of seats.

CHRISTMAS MARKET · A DOG ON BOARD

Four adults and a spaniel for a December weekend

Southampton - Bremen, Citation CJ3+, about 1 h 30 min · 4 pax + dog

The Animal Health Certificate had to be dated inside ten days of arrival, and the vet appointment in Bremen for the tapeworm treatment had to fall between 24 and 120 hours before the flight home. We booked both with the aircraft, the hotel took the dog, and the whole thing was settled in a single exchange of messages rather than three.

THE ISLANDS · THE JET STAYED ON THE MAINLAND

A weekend on Norderney

Manchester - Bremen, Citation CJ3+, about 1 h 30 min, then a PC-12 to the island · 5 pax

The client wanted to fly straight to the island, but the strip is 1,000 m and the party was five with golf bags. We landed at Bremen, cleared customs there and changed to a Pilatus PC-12 for the last leg, which kept the jet booking short and put the party on the island in under an hour.

EMPTY LEG · SUNDAY EVENING WEST

A jet already going your way

Bremen - London Luton, Phenom 300E empty leg, about 1 h 15 min · 3 pax

The aircraft had brought a party in for the weekend and was going home empty. The client gave us a three-day window instead of a date, which is what makes these work, and paid well below a fresh one-way charter for an early-evening departure to the London fields.

 

Frequently asked questions about flying to Bremen

1How long is a private jet flight from London to Bremen?

About 1 hour 20 minutes from Biggin Hill, London City or Luton, and around 1 hour 25 from Farnborough, in a Citation CJ3+, covering roughly 347 to 382 nautical miles. From Southampton or Manchester allow about 1 hour 30, and from Edinburgh or Glasgow around 1 hour 35 to 1 hour 40. Bremen is one hour ahead of Britain, so a seven o'clock departure lands a little after nine local time.

2How much does a private jet to Bremen cost?

From about £5,750 one way on a light jet out of London City, £5,800 from Biggin Hill and £5,850 from Luton. A light jet from Southampton or Manchester runs £6,500 to £6,550, and from Scotland on a midsize Citation XLS+ allow £9,050 to £9,500. The Freimarkt fortnight, the Classic Motorshow weekend and the Christmas market weekends can price above these figures.

3Which airport should a private jet use for Bremen?

Bremen Airport (BRE / EDDW) for almost every trip. It is 3.5 km from the centre, has a main runway of about 2,040 m and a customs office on the airport grounds, but no separate business aviation terminal: private passengers go through the central security control in Terminal 1. Hamburg (HAM / EDDH), about 110 km away, and Hannover (HAJ / EDDV), about 120 km away, are the alternatives for a heavy long-range departure or when Bremen's evening hours do not fit.

4Can a private jet land at Bremen at night?

Not as a matter of routine. Bremen has a night restriction rather than a ban, running from about 22:30 to 06:00, and exceptions are granted by the aviation authority mainly for emergencies, diversions and state flights. The general aviation desk works from 06:00 to 22:00 and customs clears travellers daily from 05:30 to 21:30, so for a flight from Britain we plan to land and leave inside that window and confirm any exception in writing.

5Can I fly on from Bremen to the North Sea islands or Bremerhaven?

Yes. Norderney, about 71 nautical miles away, has a 1,000 m runway and suits a turboprop such as the Pilatus PC-12, and Sylt, about 118 nautical miles away, takes turboprops and jets alike. Heligoland's airfield is limited to aeroplanes up to 5,700 kg on a runway of about 480 m, so a helicopter or the ferry is the way over. Bremerhaven and its cruise terminal are about 58 km from the airport.

6Can I take my dog to Bremen on a private jet?

Yes. The dog travels in the cabin with you, and Germany asks for a microchip, a rabies vaccination at least 21 days old, and an Animal Health Certificate issued within ten days of entry to the EU. For the return to Britain a dog needs a tapeworm treatment from a vet between 24 and 120 hours before landing. Cats are exempt from the treatment.
