Private jet charter to Derry

London to Derry takes eighty minutes gate to gate, and the whole aircraft begins at 7,200 GBP one way. Eglinton serves both halves of the picture: a domestic hop from Britain that asks for no passport control, no customs declaration and no animal health certificate, and an international departure onward to wherever a business jet will reach. That difference shows itself on the apron rather than in flight, because aircraft arriving from or leaving for destinations outside Northern Ireland are routed through the main terminal for clearance, while private movements of either kind need the airport's prior permission. The runway lies eleven kilometres north-east of the city on the shore of Lough Foyle, about ten minutes by car, and the operating day runs from half past six in the morning until nine thirty at night. Our customers have access to 6500 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, Bombardier, Learjet, Cessna, Beechcraft, Pilatus, HondaJet, etc. For 15 years of successful work, we have established partnerships with the world’s largest airlines and VIP terminals, which means we can offer you the most favorable 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. Aircraft for the inbound leg tend to sit at Belfast, Dublin, Glasgow or the London fields, which keeps positioning short and makes one-way pricing unusually competitive. Outbound is a different exercise: from a runway of this length a long-range cabin will take you to the Gulf or the eastern seaboard direct, and we settle the performance figures for that before quoting rather than after.

 

 

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 Derry 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 Luton, a Cessna Citation CJ2+ 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 Derry?

Well under an hour and a half from London, and under an hour from Scotland. These are block figures with taxi and approach counted in rather than airborne minutes. The last route runs the other way, because Eglinton works as a departure point as readily as an arrival.

 

The approach is genuinely undramatic. Eglinton sits at seven metres above the sea on the flat southern shore of the lough, with an instrument landing system on the runway and no high ground on the way in. The one published limitation worth knowing is that take-off is not permitted when runway visual range drops below four hundred metres, which on a still winter morning occasionally shifts a departure by an hour.

 

 

Prices for the private jet flights to Derry

Below are the approximate prices for recent flights from across the UK, sorted from the lowest. Each figure buys the whole aircraft one way rather than a seat, and because the sectors are short the totals come out well below what a private flight usually costs.

 

 

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 to Derry from Europe

Derry also works as a European departure point, and the pattern is distinctive: a short business hop to Dublin at one end, and the Iberian leisure routes at the other.

 

 

Prices depending on the type of business jet

Hourly rates show what the aircraft itself contributes. The list runs from the least expensive upwards, and the two lines at the bottom carry a condition here, because a runway just under two kilometres asks for a performance calculation before a very large aeroplane is confirmed.

 

 

 

The cost per hour indicated above 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 6500 business jets of different configurations and production years, and the list is constantly updated. The five groups below are the ones that matter for a flight into Eglinton.

 

 

 

 

This is only a small part of the fleet open to us. Up to a heavy cabin the choice here comes down to your party and your budget; above that it comes down to the performance figures for your particular day, which we settle first.

• 

  Clarification of details and search for options

• 

  Preparation and coordination of optimal options

• 

  Registration of documents. Payment of the invoice.

• 

  Departure on the route.

 

Business aviation airports in Derry

Derry has one airport and it is the only one in the north west of the island that takes jets. The panel sets out the facts, and the note underneath covers the two procedures that apply whichever direction you are travelling.

 

 

 

The other fields in range, and what each is genuinely for:

 

 

The business lounge handles the waiting and the paperwork, and half an hour before departure is ample. What our consultants settle against your date is the prior permission, since without it there is no flight to plan the rest of the day around.

 

From the apron to the city and the coast

Eglinton is close to the city and the roads on this side of the province are quiet, so transfers here are short and predictable. The figures below are clear-road times.

 

 

Helicopter transfers from Eglinton

A rotary leg from Eglinton is uncomplicated, with low ground, short distances and an open coastline. The times below are flying minutes, best read against road figures that are already good.

 

 

Flying to Derry with a dog or a cat

Taking a dog to Derry is easier than to any European destination, and by a wide margin. The rules changed in favour of owners rather than against them, which is unusual enough to spell out, because many people still follow the old and far heavier procedure.

 

What this journey actually requires:

• A microchip that is implanted and readable, which is the whole of the identification requirement. Bring the chip number with your travel papers in case it needs scanning;
• A Northern Ireland pet travel document, applied for once and valid for the life of your ownership. It is free, and it covers repeat journeys without renewal;
• Written notice to the agriculture department in Belfast at least ten working days ahead when the animal is travelling by air. On a charter arranged inside that window we will tell you plainly rather than let you find out at the aircraft;
• No rabies vaccination, no tapeworm treatment and no veterinary certificate for this journey. If your trip continues into the Republic of Ireland afterwards, all three come back, because that crosses into the European Union;
• An acknowledgement at booking that the animal will not be taken onward into the EU, which is a condition of the scheme rather than a formality we have invented.

 

The return leg is simpler still. Coming back from Northern Ireland into Great Britain there are no routine checks at all, and no treatment is required for a dog because the whole island is free of the tapeworm that governs the continental rules. Cats and ferrets are in the same position. In practical terms the animal walks on at one end and off at the other.

 

 

Under an hour and a half from London with no hold, no crate and no separation at either end makes this about as gentle a journey as an anxious dog will meet. The wider rules for other destinations sit on our travel with pets page. The point to carry away here is the notice period, since on this route it is the paperwork lead time rather than the flight that sets how early you must start.

 

The season in the north west

This corner of the island has a long shoulder season and no real peak, bar the weeks when the golf calendar comes to the Causeway coast.

 

Types of flights

Our company provides all types of business flights. Due to a wide variety of jets, we can arrange:

1. private flights;
2. corporate flights;
3. business class flights;
4. concert tours;
5. medical flights (with doctors and special equipment on board);
6. tourist flights for large and small groups;
7. sports charters for teams and coaching staff;
8. combined flights (partly by business jet, and partly by helicopter);
9. exclusive flights on luxury jets for businessmen, celebrities, and politicians;
10. cargo flights, etc.

A flexible approach and a wide experience allow us to solve problems of any complexity. In 90% of cases, we manage to arrange urgent flights (on the day of application). That holds on this route more often than on most, because the sectors are short and aircraft are usually within reach. Two items still need lead time at Derry: the prior permission from the airport, and, if a dog is travelling, the ten working day notification. We recommend sending a request as far ahead as your dates allow.

 

 

Empty Legs

Another way to fly cheaper is to use Empty Legs. This service allows you to save on regular charter rates. As you know, part of the flights is one-way. The Irish Sea crossings produce a great many of these, because an aircraft that has brought one party into Eglinton frequently returns towards Belfast, Glasgow or the London fields with nobody aboard. Such flight is called “Empty Legs”. Empty leg flights can be as cheap as 50-75% off the standard charter price. This option is profitable for both the passengers and the charter companies. The clients can enjoy the services of business aviation at a very good price, while the airlines recoup part of the cost of fuel and jet maintenance.

It is almost impossible to find Empty Leg flights, as the information about them is stored in special databases available only to the aviation brokers and specialized companies. You should know that Empty Leg flights offer the same service as private jet charters. The passengers enjoy a 100% private jet flying experience. Services and flight conditions are discussed individually. We should note that our company cooperates with the world’s largest home bases, so we can offer our clients a wide choice of return flights. Just send a request to our manager who will help you find the best flight options. Please note that Empty Leg flights are sold out very quickly. To avoid such a problem, you can leave us a deposit, and we will contact you as soon as the flight of your choice becomes available. For additional information, check with the operators.

 

 

 

Jet Sharing

Today, Jet Sharing is just as popular as private jet charter. This service involves the joint rental of a business jet with other passengers (that is, the cost of the flight is divided equally between all passengers of a specific flight). This type of flight has become especially popular in the last few years. Many people like Jet Sharing because it allows you to enjoy all benefits of business aviation at favorable prices.

We should note that the number of passengers per Jet Sharing flight varies from 3 to 8, while the cost of the flight ranges from 1200 to 6000 pounds (depending on the destination). This way, you can get a comfortable flight on a business jet (and maybe even meet new business partners) at a very good price. You can check out the schedule of Jet Sharing flights by filling in the online form or contacting our operators by phone or WhatsApp.

Main advantages of this service:

• All privileges of business aviation, including the use of the business aviation terminal and the check-in 30 minutes before the flight, are retained;
• You can also use the services of the VIP Lounge (included in the price of the flight);
• No baggage restrictions;
• Affordable price: jet sharing is much cheaper than private jet charter;
• Pets can be carried directly in the aircraft cabin.

 

Our consultants will be happy to help you choose the best flight.

 

 

Helicopter charter

Private Jets UK clients have access to a rotary fleet across the island of Ireland and western Scotland. Machines are normally boarded on the apron at Eglinton, a short walk from where the jet parks. Where a particular type is based elsewhere we arrange a car to the nearest licensed site.

The types that suit this region, and the job each one does:

• Airbus H125, four passengers with clubs or luggage, the least costly way off the Eglinton ramp and enough for a hop up to the Causeway coast;
• Airbus H130, up to six seats, a quieter cabin on the same single-engine platform and the usual answer for a family;
• Airbus H135, six seats, a light twin with the performance for a coastal crossing and the type we put on an evening movement;
• Agusta AW109, six seats, faster again and the choice for a multi-course golf day across Antrim, Londonderry and Donegal.

 

Availability turns week by week, and championship golf weeks on the Causeway coast commit furthest ahead. Please contact our aviation consultants for the current position on a particular model and date.

 

 

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 Jet UK works with both physical and legal entities. We guarantee the confidentiality and security of payments. You can pay for the flights from Derry 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.

Derry and the north west: destination overview

Derry is the second city of Northern Ireland and the only completely walled city on the island. Around eighty-five thousand people live within it, the seventeenth-century walls survive intact and unbroken, and the River Foyle divides it in a way that is geographic and, historically, a great deal more than geographic. It was the United Kingdom City of Culture, and the decade since has left it with a food scene visitors rarely expect.

 

Where to stay

The city is small enough to stay anywhere in it. The Waterside, on the eastern bank and nearer the airport, is quieter; the Cityside within the walls puts you among the restaurants and the bars on Waterloo Street. For a golf trip the sensible base is the Causeway coast itself, at Portrush or Portstewart, three quarters of an hour away and on the doorstep of the links. Anyone heading into Donegal should note that Letterkenny is a different jurisdiction, so a hire car crossing the border needs the right insurance.

 

What to do

Walking the full circuit of the walls takes about an hour and is the one thing everybody should do. The Peace Bridge across the Foyle, the Guildhall and the murals of the Bogside together tell the recent history without much need for a guide. North of the city the Causeway coast runs from Downhill and Castlerock past Portrush to the Giant's Causeway, and it is among the finest coast roads in these islands. West lies Inishowen, which most visitors miss entirely and should not.

 

When it is busy

The Halloween festival at the end of October fills the city for several days and is the busiest week of its year. Championship golf on the Causeway coast is the only thing that stretches the airport itself. Summer is steady rather than frantic, and midwinter is quiet, cheap and often startlingly beautiful.
