Private jet charter to Hamburg

Hamburg is an hour and a quarter from London and eight and a half kilometres from the runway to the city centre, which is unusually close for an airport of its size. What fills the aircraft on this route is trade: the largest port in Germany, the Airbus works on the Elbe, and the shipping, media and commodity houses that grew up around both. 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, Airbus, Boeing, 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. The aircraft we quote for Hamburg sit at the London fields, in the Midlands and across the Low Countries, and the North Sea crossing is short enough that positioning rarely dominates the price.

 

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 to Hamburg 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).

 

 

 

Every price on this page is indicative and put together the way a real quote is: a named aircraft on a named sector, the passenger count shown. The tables below give current levels, and a personal calculation takes our consultant about 20 minutes through any form here.

 

How long does it take to fly to Hamburg?

An hour and seventeen minutes from Luton over a sector of 390 nautical miles, and a little less from Stansted, which is the closest London field to the North Sea crossing. From Birmingham allow an hour and twenty, from Manchester an hour and eighteen, and from Edinburgh an hour and twenty-four. Fuhlsbuttel sits eight and a half kilometres from the centre, twenty minutes by road.

 

These are the sectors we fly most often into Hamburg. Times include the climb and the descent, and assume the direct crossing of the North Sea and the Dutch coast that these flights normally take:

  • Distance: 482 nm / 893 km
  • Flight time: 1:24 h

Prices for the private jet flights to Hamburg

Below are the approximate prices for recent flights from across the UK, sorted from the lowest price. An hour and a quarter from the London airfields keeps this firmly in the light jet range, and the crossing is direct enough that departures from northern England cost barely more than those from the south:

Route Aircraft Passengers Price, one way
Norwich - Hamburg
318 nm / 590 km
Pilatus PC-12 NGX 6 from 2,800 GBP
London Stansted - Hamburg
369 nm / 684 km

Two things that move the price on this route

– The night restrictions at Fuhlsbuttel. This is a city airport with residential streets on three sides and Germany takes that seriously; late departures are constrained in a way they are not at most European fields. We check the position for your dates at the quote stage rather than after the booking;

– Trade fair weeks. Hamburg runs a heavy calendar of shipping, aviation and wind energy events, and in those windows the handling slots and the hotel rooms go together. The North Sea corridor also generates steady repositioning traffic, so if your dates are flexible, ask us to check the empty legs first.

We can arrange flights from any city in the UK. If you have any questions about the departure or the flight itself, please use the form below:

  • Turboprops - from 1400 GBP per flight hour;
  • Small jet - from 1800 to 2500 GBP per flight hour;
  • Light jet - from 2300 to 3200 GBP per flight hour;
  • Medium-sized jet (identical to Cessna Citation XLS+, Hawker 800XP, etc.) - from 2900 to 3700 GBP per flight hour;
  • Large medium-class jet (similar to Challenger 300, etc.) - from 4500 to 5000 GBP per flight hour;
  • Large jet (similar to Legacy 600) - from 4900 to 5700 GBP per flight hour;
  • Long-haul jet (similar to Global 5000, Gulfstream G550, Falcon 7X, etc.) - from 6500 to 8500 GBP per flight hour;
  • Business liners - from 10000 GBP per flight hour.

Private jets are ready to take off

Our database holds over 6500 business jets. On a crossing of an hour and a quarter the aircraft decides comfort and capacity rather than journey time, so the question that matters is how many of you there are:

Turboprops

Worth quoting from East Anglia, where the crossing is short and a King Air arrives within a quarter of an hour of a jet. From further west the speed difference starts to tell.

Pilatus PC-12 NGX · 8 seatsfrom £1,500/h
Beechcraft King Air 350 · 9 seatsfrom £1,700/h

Light jets

The class that does most of this route. A Citation M2 crosses from the London fields in an hour and a quarter, and for a party of four to six on business it is what we quote first and what most people fly.

Cessna Citation M2 · 7 seatsfrom £2,100/h
Embraer Phenom 300 · 6 seatsfrom £2,400/h
Cessna Citation CJ3+ · 8 seatsfrom £2,600/h

Super-midsize

The default from the North and from Scotland, where the sector runs past four hundred miles, and the choice from anywhere when eight people travel with proper luggage rather than briefcases.

Cessna Citation XLS+ · 9 seatsfrom £2,900/h
Embraer Praetor 600 · 9 seatsfrom £4,200/h
Bombardier Challenger 350 · 9 seatsfrom £4,600/h

Heavy jets

Booked here for delegations rather than for distance: shipping and aviation groups moving a dozen people to a trade fair, and the board parties that come for a single day of meetings.

Bombardier Challenger 605 · 12 seatsfrom £4,900/h
Embraer Legacy 650 · 13 seatsfrom £5,300/h
Dassault Falcon 2000LXS · 10 seatsfrom £5,500/h

Ultra-long range

Seen at Fuhlsbuttel on inbound legs from Asia and the Gulf, where the shipping business brings owners in directly, rather than on anything starting in Britain.

Bombardier Global 5000 · 13 seatsfrom £6,900/h
Gulfstream G550 · 16 seatsfrom £7,000/h
Bombardier Global 6000 · 13 seatsfrom £7,200/h

  • Preparation and coordination of optimal options

  • Registration of documents. Payment of the invoice.

  • Departure on the route.

 

Business aviation airports in Hamburg

Fuhlsbuttel is the airport, and its position is the first thing worth knowing: eight and a half kilometres north of the centre, which is closer than Heathrow is to London or Charles de Gaulle to Paris. Twenty minutes puts you at the Rathaus. The general aviation terminal handles private traffic separately from the fourteen million scheduled passengers who pass through each year.

Hamburg Helmut Schmidt (HAM / EDDH)
two runways, the main one 3,250 m, all business aircraft categories
8.5 km to the centre
General aviation terminal
seven handling agents on the field, slots required for IFR arrivals
separate from the main terminals
Night movements
a city airport with housing on three sides, and the rules are enforced
restricted
Lubeck (LBC / EDHL)
the fallback when Hamburg has no slot, and the closer field for the Baltic coast
55 km north east

The one thing to settle early

Hamburg is a city airport in the literal sense, with residential streets along three of its boundaries, and Germany enforces night noise rules more strictly than most of its neighbours. A late evening departure is not something to assume, and the position varies with the aircraft type and the date. We check it when the quote is prepared and tell you the deadline in writing, rather than discovering it on the day.

One airfield that appears on maps is not an option at all. Finkenwerder, on the south bank of the Elbe, belongs to Airbus and serves the assembly line there: corporate, test and delivery flights only, no third party charter. It is eight nautical miles from Fuhlsbuttel and of no practical use to a visitor, which is worth saying because it is sometimes listed as a Hamburg alternative.

Where people go from the ramp

– The Rathaus, the Alster and the banking quarter, twenty minutes, which covers most of the business traffic;

– HafenCity and the Elbphilharmonie, twenty-five minutes, and the Speicherstadt warehouses beside them;

– The Airbus works at Finkenwerder, half an hour by road around or under the river;

– Sylt and the North Frisian islands, forty-five minutes by air against four hours by road and ferry, which is where Hamburg goes in summer.

Flying to Hamburg with a dog or a cat

Germany is straightforward in both directions and the crossing takes an hour and a quarter, which makes this an easy route with an animal aboard. The paperwork is the standard European set and your own vet will have issued it many times.

What Germany asks for on the way in:

  • An ISO 11784/11785 microchip, implanted before the rabies vaccination rather than after it;
  • A rabies vaccination given at least 21 days before entry, the animal being 12 weeks old or more when it was administered;
  • An EU Animal Health Certificate from a UK government-authorised veterinarian, issued within 10 days of arrival and valid for the journey home for up to four months;
  • Up to five animals per owner, travelling with the owner as a non-commercial movement;
  • Praziquantel from a German vet 24 to 120 hours before landing back in Britain, recorded with the date and the product. Dogs only; cats are exempt.

Two practical points on this route

– The worming appointment for the return has to happen in Germany inside the 24 to 120 hour window, which rules out a same-day trip with a dog. Two nights is the minimum, and we say so at the quote stage rather than after the booking;

– German practices are used to the certificate and unusually punctual about it, but they close earlier than British ones and rarely open on a Saturday afternoon. We book the appointment with the flight and time it against your departure slot.

Why the city suits animals

Nothing goes in a hold and no weight limit applies, so a large dog travels on the cabin floor beside you exactly as a small one does. Hamburg itself is one of the easier European cities to arrive in with one: dogs ride the U-Bahn and the harbour ferries, the Alster has miles of walkable bank in the middle of town, and most of the hotels along it take animals without a discussion.

Requirements for ferrets, birds and anything less usual are set out on our flying with pets guide, and our managers confirm the current position in writing for your dates before a booking is taken.

 

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). But to be sure, we recommend you send a request at least 2-5 days before the desired date of departure.

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 (for example, when the passenger flies from England to Hamburg). After the flight, the jet returns to its home base (for example, to London Farnborough airport) empty. 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

Northern Germany is flat and its motorways are good, so a rotary leg here has to earn its place against a car that is genuinely quick. Where it does earn it is the islands: Sylt by road is four hours and a ferry; by air it is forty-five minutes. These are the legs we book most:

Fuhlsbuttel to the city and HafenCity
twenty minutes by road, longer when the Elbe tunnels back up
about 8 minutes
Hamburg to Sylt and the North Frisian islands
four hours by road and ferry, and the reason this leg gets booked at all
about 45 minutes
Hamburg to Lubeck and the Baltic coast
the Hanseatic town and Travemunde beyond it, an hour by road
about 15 minutes
Hamburg to Bremen
an hour and a half down the A1 through the container traffic
about 25 minutes
Hamburg to the Luneburg Heath estates
the country houses south of the city, an hour by road
about 20 minutes

The machines that work these routes

– Airbus H125 and Bell 407, the light singles behind most transfers in northern Germany and precise into a confined site;

– Airbus H130 and Bell 429 for a party of six, the usual choice on the Baltic and heath runs;

– Airbus H145 and AgustaWestland AW139 where twin engines are wanted for the North Sea island crossings, which is what operators insist on over that water.

Two points on rotary legs here

– German landing site rules are among the strictest in Europe and an estate or hotel lawn needs authorising well in advance. Tell us the destination when the jet is booked and we will establish what is possible before you arrive;

– North Sea weather closes the island legs more often than anything else, particularly between October and March. We quote a car and the ferry as the alternative rather than instead, and on the Sylt run that fallback is a long day.

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 Hamburg 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.

Hamburg charters we have flown: six trips from the booking notes

Written up from our brokers’ own notes. Initials replace names, and details are altered where a client would otherwise be identifiable. The prices are what those bookings cost and the flight times match the tables above.

SHIPPING · SAME DAY

Mr H. B.: a charter negotiation and home for dinner

London Luton - Hamburg, Citation M2, 1 h 17 min · 4 passengers

Out at half past seven, in an office near the Alster by half past ten German time, back on the ramp at five. The proximity of the airport is what makes this work: twenty minutes each way rather than the forty-five or more that most capitals cost. About 3,500 GBP each way.

AVIATION FAIR · A DELEGATION

A Midlands supplier: eight people and a stand

Birmingham - Hamburg, Citation CJ3+, 1 h 21 min · 8 passengers

Trade fair week, booked seven weeks ahead because the handling slots go before the hotel rooms do. Eight passengers with sample cases put this into the light jet for hold space alone. Around 4,600 GBP each way. The stand materials went by road a fortnight earlier, which is always cheaper.

THE CURFEW · A LESSON

A finance group: the dinner that ran late

London Stansted - Hamburg, Citation M2, 1 h 14 min · 5 passengers

They assumed a late departure would be arranged on the night. It could not be: the airport sits inside the built-up area and its night rules are enforced rather than negotiated. They stayed over and flew at seven the next morning, which cost a hotel and no more. Since then we put the evening deadline in writing at the quote stage.

ISLANDS · SYLT IN AUGUST

The K. family: the leg that saves a day

Manchester - Hamburg, Citation XLS+, 1 h 18 min · 6 passengers

Hamburg by jet, then forty-five minutes by helicopter to Sylt rather than four hours of motorway and a car ferry. About 5,000 GBP for the inbound leg with the rotary quoted separately. In August that ferry queue is the difference between arriving for lunch and arriving for dinner.

PET · TWO NIGHTS MINIMUM

Ms A. W.: the answer that moved her dates

Leeds - Hamburg, Citation CJ3+, 1 h 18 min · 2 passengers and a dog

She wanted a day return with a retriever. That does not work, because the tapeworm treatment has to be given in Germany at least 24 hours before landing back in Britain. She took two nights instead, we booked a practice near the Alster for the morning of departure, and the whole thing ran to time.

NORDIC LEG · THREE CITIES

A Scandinavian investment team: Hamburg in the middle

Copenhagen - Hamburg, Citation M2, 0 h 41 min · 5 passengers

Copenhagen in the morning, Hamburg for the afternoon, Amsterdam that evening, one aircraft waiting on the ground between them. Around 2,300 GBP for the Hamburg leg. On a day like that you are paying for the aircraft to sit idle, and it still beats three sets of scheduled tickets and two hotel nights.

 

Hamburg as a destination

Hamburg is the second city of Germany and its richest, and both facts come from the same source: the port. Nine hundred years of trade have left a place that looks and behaves quite unlike the rest of the country, closer in temperament to the Dutch and Scandinavian cities across the water than to Munich or Frankfurt. The merchant families still matter here, the understatement is deliberate, and the city has more bridges than Venice, Amsterdam and London put together.

What brings business is concentrated and easy to name. The port handles the container traffic of central Europe. Airbus assembles the A320 family on the south bank of the Elbe at Finkenwerder, the third largest aviation site in the world by employment. The city holds a dense cluster of shipping lines, commodity traders, insurers and media houses, and its trade fair calendar runs to maritime, aviation and wind energy events in a way that fills the ramp several times a year.

The pleasure side has changed sharply in the past decade. The Elbphilharmonie opened on top of a brick warehouse in 2017 and gave the city a concert hall of the first rank and a skyline to go with it, and the Speicherstadt district beside it carries a UNESCO listing. Around the Alster lakes in the middle of town the city walks, rows and eats, and beyond the Reeperbahn does what its reputation says considerably more openly than most places manage.

Where to stay

  • The Fontenay. A curved white building on the Alster bank with a spa over the water, and the most recent addition to the city’s top tier;
  • Hotel Atlantic Kempinski. The grand Alster hotel of 1909, where the shipping families have always stayed and where the bar still looks it;
  • Vier Jahreszeiten. On the Binnenalster in the middle of town, a Fairmont now but run in the old manner, and the address most often asked for by returning visitors;
  • The Westin Hamburg. Inside the Elbphilharmonie itself, which means the views and the concert hall are downstairs rather than across town;
  • 25hours HafenCity. Fitted out as a sailors’ boarding house, cheaper and considerably more fun than the grand hotels, and a short walk from the warehouses;
  • On Sylt, the hotels at Kampen and List, forty-five minutes away by helicopter and the summer address of half of Hamburg.

What to do

  • The Elbphilharmonie. Go up to the plaza for the view whether or not you have a ticket, and if a concert is on, take it: the acoustics are worth the trip on their own;
  • The Speicherstadt and HafenCity. The largest warehouse complex in the world, red brick on oak piles, with the new quarter growing around it;
  • The harbour. Take a barge tour rather than the tourist boat, and see the container terminals working from the water;
  • The Alster. Row, sail or walk the bank; the city puts its best restaurants and its money along this water;
  • Fish. The Sunday morning market at Altona has run since 1703 and starts at five, and the herring and eel here are taken as seriously as wine is in Bordeaux;
  • Sylt. Forty-five minutes by air, dunes and thatched roofs, oysters and a wind that never stops, and the reason a business trip sometimes becomes a long weekend.

When the city is busy

  • Trade fair weeks. Shipping, aviation and wind energy events fill the handling slots and the hotels together, and they are known well in advance, so ask us as soon as you have dates;
  • The Hafengeburtstag in May, the port’s birthday and the largest harbour festival in the world, which brings a million and a half people to the waterfront;
  • Summer weekends, when the city empties towards Sylt and the Baltic and the island legs are hardest to arrange;
  • The Christmas markets in December, which fill the centre rather than the ramp;
  • January and February, when northern Germany is dark and cold and this becomes one of the cheaper sectors we sell.

 

Frequently asked questions about flying to Hamburg

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

An hour and seventeen minutes from Luton on a Citation M2 over the 390 nautical mile sector, and an hour and fourteen from Stansted, which is the closest London field to the crossing. From Birmingham allow an hour and twenty, from Manchester an hour and eighteen, and from Edinburgh an hour and twenty-four.

2How much does a private jet to Hamburg cost?

From about 2,800 GBP one way from Norwich on a turboprop and about 3,500 GBP from the London fields on a Citation M2, rising to around 5,000 GBP from Manchester and 5,400 GBP from Edinburgh. Each figure buys the whole aircraft, and the North Sea crossing is direct enough that northern departures cost little more than southern ones.

3Are there night restrictions at Hamburg?

Yes, and they matter more here than at most European airports. Fuhlsbuttel sits eight and a half kilometres from the city centre with residential streets along three of its boundaries, and German night noise rules are enforced rather than negotiated. Late departures cannot be assumed. We check the position for your aircraft and your date at the quote stage and give you the deadline in writing.

4Can I use Finkenwerder instead?

No. Finkenwerder belongs to Airbus and serves its assembly line: corporate, test and delivery flights only, with no third party charter. It appears on maps as a Hamburg airfield and is sometimes listed as an alternative, but it is not available to a visiting aircraft. When Fuhlsbuttel has no slot, the fallback is Lubeck, fifty-five kilometres north east.

5Can I bring my dog?

Yes, in the cabin with you and with no weight limit. Germany asks for a microchip, a rabies vaccination at least 21 days old and an EU Animal Health Certificate issued within 10 days of arrival. Coming home, dogs need worming by a German vet 24 to 120 hours before landing in Britain, which means a same-day return with a dog is not possible; two nights is the minimum.

The company’s offices

We will be glad to see you in our offices in London, Paris and Berlin. Our German desk works with the same handling agents at Fuhlsbuttel all year, which is what makes a slot during a trade fair week possible rather than hopeful.
