Private jet charter in Brindisi

From the south of England the heel of Italy is under three hours away, and Brindisi is the airport that opens its southern half: Lecce and the Baroque towns of the Salento, the Ionian and Adriatic beaches below them, Ostuni on its white hill and the masserie among the olive groves of the Itria valley. Private Jets UK charters the aircraft and settles the arrival details that make this field different from an ordinary resort airport. 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. Brindisi is a coordinated airport, so a slot goes with the booking, handling is compulsory, and the field still carries military facilities beside the civil terminal. Bari, the other Puglia airport, is about 113 km up the coast in a straight line, and a good charter starts by deciding which of the two is the right door.

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 Brindisi 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 Brindisi (BDS)?

Two hours fifty minutes from Biggin Hill in a light jet, five minutes more from London City, and a little over three hours from the north of England. Italy keeps Central European time, one hour ahead of Britain, and the clock gives that hour back on the way home. The British fields we use lie 1,019 to 1,318 nautical miles from Brindisi, which makes it a light-jet sector from the south coast and the London airfields, a midsize job from Manchester and Newcastle, and a trip for a super-midsize cabin from Edinburgh and Glasgow. Every sector in the table is nonstop.

Prices for the private jet flights to Brindisi

Typical trips from Britain, cheapest first, all of them into Brindisi. The last fortnight of August and the weeks around the saints' days of the Salento can price above these figures, and the calendar block further down explains why.

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 Brindisi

Brindisi sits at the opposite end of Puglia from Bari, across the water from Corfu, and it is a convenient departure point for Sicily, Malta and the Greek islands. Naples and Rome are an hour to an hour and a half away by turboprop, while Milan, Malta and Athens are jet sectors.

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 Brindisi:

This is a small part of what is available. Brindisi has a modest based fleet, but Rome, Naples and Bari are within an hour of it by air, so a quote may name one of those cities as the positioning point. That is normal for an airport of this size, and it is often where the better price comes from.

Business aviation airports in Brindisi

Brindisi takes the traffic for the south of Puglia. Bari does the same for the north and the middle, and a third field matters for a few special programmes. Which one is right depends on where you will sleep, and the aircraft has little to do with it.

Four things to settle before a landing at Brindisi:

Bari or Brindisi: how to choose the door

Both airports are coordinated, both are shared with the military, and both take any business jet we would send, so the decision is made on the map. Brindisi wins for Lecce, the Salento, Ostuni and the southern Itria valley; Bari wins for Bari itself and for Alberobello. The middle ground is Ostuni, Locorotondo and the coast around Savelletri, where the difference is a matter of minutes and the better question is which airport has the stand. The straight-line distances below show how the ground falls.

For the same aircraft and the same passengers, Bari costs less from Biggin Hill: £12,900 against £13,600 for Brindisi in a Citation CJ3+. The difference of £700 is the extra flying, and a party heading for Lecce would add the road from Bari, about an hour and a half to Brindisi and then the stretch on to Lecce. Choose on the destination and book the stand early; if one airport has no space for the date, the other becomes the answer.

From the apron to the Salento

Brindisi is a port of more than 80,000 residents, with a Roman past that survives in a single column of the pair that marked the end of the Appian Way, a castle built by Frederick II and an Aragonese fort on an island at the harbour mouth. Ferries leave for Greece from the port. Most private clients do not stay: the airport is a gateway, and the places they come for lie a drive away in every direction, from the Baroque streets of Lecce to the whitewashed hill of Ostuni and the two seas of the Salento.

Lecce rewards a night, not an hour. About 94,000 people live there, the city is known as the Florence of the South, and its churches and palaces are built from a local limestone so soft that it can be worked like wood, which is why the facades are so deeply carved. The Basilica of Santa Croce has one of the most richly decorated, the cathedral stands in its own square beside a bell tower about 70 m high, and the remains of a Roman amphitheatre, partly buried, sit near the main square. South of the city the Salento narrows to the heel: Otranto, with its cathedral and a mosaic floor of the months and Old Testament scenes, Gallipoli on its island, and Santa Maria di Leuca at the southern end of the region. A few inland towns still speak Griko, a Greek dialect and a reminder of the Byzantine centuries.

The country between Brindisi and Taranto is a different landscape. Ostuni, which has some 30,000 residents in winter and as many as 200,000 in summer, sits on a hill above a plain of olive trees. Further west the Itria valley rises to the trulli of Alberobello, whose whole district of conical stone houses is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, to Locorotondo, known for its white DOC wine made mainly from Verdeca and Bianco d'Alessano, and to Martina Franca, a walled Baroque town. The farms in between are the masserie: white-walled, fortified farm complexes from the sixteenth to the nineteenth centuries, which once pressed the oil and made the wine and are now among the most sought-after places to stay in Puglia. Typical examples have courtyards, a chapel, a pool among the olive trees and a kitchen that serves what the farm grows. Masseria Lamacoppa lies a few kilometres south of Ostuni, Masseria Torre Coccaro is at Savelletri, and the Otranto district has Masseria Montelauro. Borgo Egnazia, a resort at Savelletri, has hosted a G7 summit, and it gives an idea of the standard of hospitality that private clients expect in this stretch of the coast.

Flying to the Salento with a dog or a cat

The flight is the easy part of travelling to Italy with a pet, because the animal sits beside you in the cabin and a sector of under three hours is rarely troubling. The paperwork needs planning. The date on the health certificate is what most often causes a delay, and a mistake is hard to put right at a private airfield on the day.

What an EU country such as Italy asks for when a pet arrives from Britain:

• An ISO microchip, fitted before the rabies vaccination or at the same time;
• A rabies vaccination given when the animal was at least 12 weeks old, with 21 days elapsed after the vaccination before the animal travels;
• An Animal Health Certificate for each trip, issued by an official vet in Britain and valid for entry to the EU for 10 days after it is issued; a British pet passport is not accepted for entry;
• No more than five animals travelling with one person.

Requirements for cats, ferrets, birds and anything less usual are collected in our flying with pets guide. For the way home, we confirm the entry point and the paperwork for the animal in writing before the flight.

The Salento calendar: saints in August, a fair night of music and a long summer

The south of Puglia has a short spring, a hot and crowded summer and a quiet winter, and a handful of dated festivals that fill the towns. The date you choose matters more to the price than the aircraft does.

Ways to bring the Brindisi price down

• Move the dates by a few days. The weeks outside the saints' days and the Notte della Taranta are calmer, and so is a midweek landing against a Saturday one;
• Ask where the aircraft is based. A jet that already sits in Rome, Naples or Bari is a short positioning flight away, and a quote built on it is often lower than one from a London base;
• Fly a smaller cabin where the party allows, and send the luggage with the group, not ahead of it. The light-jet figure at the top of this page is the realistic floor;
• Look at the empty-leg list below. A repositioning flight that matches your dates can cost a fraction of the usual price.

Types of flights

The traffic to Brindisi differs from the Alpine or the Riviera destinations we cover. It is mostly leisure, with a thin layer of business and institutional travel on top.

• Holiday charters to the masserie, the villas of the Itria valley and the coast around Ostuni and Savelletri, with a family or a house party and a long luggage list;
• Weddings and celebrations in the countryside, with guests arriving over two or three days on aircraft of different sizes, which makes the stand plan the first job;
• City stays in Lecce and Brindisi, with a driver and a few nights in the old towns, often combined with a day on the Ionian coast;
• Institutional and business visits to the Brindisi area, which has a United Nations logistics base and humanitarian depot on the airfield, with a small team and a fixed return;
• Onward trips to Corfu, the Greek islands, Malta and Sicily, with Brindisi as the first or the last stop of a longer programme.

The day trip is possible, though it needs thought. Land a little before eleven local time, leave at five in the afternoon and you are back on the British side shortly before seven in the evening, UK time, with about six hours on the ground. That is enough for a meeting in Brindisi or a long lunch in Lecce and not enough for the coast. Anyone who wants the Salento should stay a night.

Empty Legs

An empty leg is a repositioning flight with nobody aboard, offered at a fraction of the usual price. Brindisi has no single event that produces them, so they come from the rhythm of the season.

Outside the summer the corridor between Britain and the heel of Italy is thinner than the busiest London routes. A client who can name a few days has far better odds than one who needs a particular evening, and the usual trade applies: you give up control of the exact departure time, and you gain a price well below that of a charter quote.

Helicopter charter

A helicopter in the south of Puglia saves the last part of the trip, not the middle. The roads are good and the towns are close together, so what a helicopter changes is the final stretch to a masseria in the countryside, a villa on the coast or a hotel on the cliffs, and the view of the trulli country from the air.

The machines on this ground are the Airbus H125 for scenic work, the wider H130 for villa and masseria transfers, the H135 and the Bell 429 where a twin is wanted, and the H155 for larger parties. We book them with the jet so that both crews work to one timetable.
