Private jet charter in Krakow

A jet that leaves a London airfield at seven in the morning touches down in Krakow a little after ten local time, an hour ahead of British clocks, and what happens next depends on the trip: an afternoon of meetings, a long weekend among the Old Town churches, or a drive south to the Tatra ski slopes. Private Jets UK arranges the charter around whichever of those it is. 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. Krakow has one airport that does the work, John Paul II at Balice, with a 2,550 m runway, a VIP terminal run by the airport itself and several handling agents, so the real choices are the date, the size of the cabin and whether the trip ends in the city or goes on into the mountains.

 

 

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 Krakow 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 Krakow?

Allow a little over two hours from the London fields, and expect to gain an hour on arrival: Poland keeps Central European time, one hour ahead of Britain, and the two countries change their clocks on the same weekends. At 781 to 974 nautical miles this is a long sector for a light jet and a comfortable one for a midsize cabin, which is why the quote for a party of more than four usually starts with the bigger aircraft. The table gives the sector from each British field we use.

Krakow sits in the middle of the Central European triangle, with Warsaw to the north, Prague to the west and Vienna and Budapest to the south, and every one of them is a hop of roughly an hour in a turboprop. Typical one-way prices:

 

 

Prices depending on the type of business jet

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 Krakow:

 

 

 

This is a small part of what is available. Warsaw, Prague and Vienna are all roughly an hour away by turboprop, so outside the busiest ski weekends there is often an aircraft already positioned close to Krakow, and that is frequently where the better price comes from.

Business aviation airports around Krakow

One airport does the work for the city. The others deserve a look only when the trip is really to Silesia, to the east of Poland or to the mountains, and one name that turns up in the Tatra quotes is not an airport for jets at all.

 

Four points settle most Krakow arrivals:

 

 

Border, passport and the way home

Because Poland is inside Schengen, the first landing is where the formalities happen, and a hop on to Prague or Vienna afterwards is free of border control. Operators from outside the EU typically need a permit from the Polish Civil Aviation Authority for a charter, which we arrange together with the operator. The way home runs the other way: Britain treats the aircraft as arriving from abroad, so a General Aviation Report is filed not earlier than 48 hours and not later than two hours before departure, and passengers pass the border at the British airfield. Visitors who need no visa for Britain still need an Electronic Travel Authorisation unless they are British or Irish citizens. We file the paperwork; you bring passports that are in date.

 

 

From the apron to the Main Square

Krakow is a compact city on the Vistula, and its Old Town is a UNESCO site, so you reach the centre from the airport in the time it takes to read a briefing. The distances that matter run south to the mountains and out to the other airports of the region.

 

Flying to Krakow with a dog or a cat

For a pet the paperwork is the part of a Polish trip that needs planning, and the flight is the easy bit: the animal sits beside you in the cabin, never in a hold, and on a sector of two hours most simply sleep. The date on the health certificate is the detail to get right, since it lasts ten days from the day it is issued.

 

 

What Poland, as an EU country, asks for:

• An identification chip fitted before or on the same day as the rabies vaccination. Polish veterinary rules say that the vaccination date cannot be earlier than the identification date;
• A rabies vaccination given when the animal was at least 12 weeks old, with 21 days elapsed after a first vaccination before entry, and boosters kept on schedule;
• No rabies antibody blood test when travelling from Britain, which the EU lists among the countries exempt from it;
• An Animal Health Certificate from an Official Veterinarian, valid for ten days for entry to the EU and for the return to Britain as stated on the certificate. A British pet passport is not accepted for entry to the EU;
• A written declaration from the owner that the journey is not commercial and that the animal travels within five days of the owner, which on a private flight is simply the same flight;
• No more than five animals per traveller, entering through a travellers' point of entry, which our handler arranges at the terminal;
• For dogs, a tapeworm treatment from a vet between 24 and 120 hours before arrival back in Britain, recorded with product, date and time. Cats are exempt.

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

 

The Krakow calendar: festivals in the city, snow in the mountains

Krakow has two seasons at once. The city runs a festival calendar from spring to autumn, while the Tatras, two hours to the south, have a winter that keeps the airport and the road south busy in January and February. Knowing which week you want matters more than choosing an aircraft.

 

Ways to bring the Krakow price down

• Shift the dates by a few days if the diary allows. A Tuesday arrival in January costs less than the Friday before the World Cup weekend, and the weeks around Easter are calmer than June;
• Ask where the aircraft is based. An aircraft that already sits in Warsaw, Prague or Vienna costs less to bring over than one flown out from Britain, and on a sector this long the positioning is a visible slice of the invoice;
• Take the light jet only when the party and the bags are small. Three people with cabin bags save real money in a CJ3+; six people with ski luggage do not, and the quote that looks cheap on paper is often the one that changes.

 

Types of flights

Krakow produces a different mix from the Alpine or the Mediterranean destinations we cover, because it is at once a business city, a heritage destination and the gateway to the Tatras.

• Business travel to a city with about 50 large multinationals and a global software headquarters, with fixed meeting dates, a small team and a wish to be home the same evening;
• Ski and mountain weekends in Zakopane from December to March, mostly families and groups of friends, with the jet landing at Balice and a car or helicopter doing the rest;
• Heritage and memorial visits, where a party combines the Old Town and the Wieliczka salt mine with a day at Auschwitz-Birkenau, 60 km from the airport;
• Festival and concert weekends, from the June festival month to the Christmas market, when the party travels to a date set by the programme;
• Trips that combine Krakow with Silesia or the Czech Republic, often with a Katowice or Prague leg added;
• Day trips from London, which at a little over two hours each way are a long day but a workable one.

Krakow stretches the day trip to its limit. Wheels up at seven, on the ground a little after ten local time, and off again at six in the evening gives you a little over seven hours in the city and puts you back in Britain around a quarter past seven. The crew sits out the meetings at the airport and that waiting time is charged, yet the total is usually below two one-way charters, and we price the route both ways so you can compare.

 

Empty Legs

Some jets cross Europe with nobody aboard, moving to their next job, and the operator will sell that seat-free leg cheaply rather than fly it for nothing. That is an empty leg. On the Krakow route the supply follows the ski and festival calendar more than the working week.

Because the Polish corridor is thinner than the busiest London routes, 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 Krakow match the day an operator releases it.

 

 

Helicopter charter

In Krakow a helicopter is a tool for the edges of a trip and not the middle. The Old Town is small enough to cross by car or on foot, and the place where rotary flight changes the journey is the road south to the Tatras, where a drive of about two hours becomes a short flight.

The machines used on this ground are the Airbus H125 for mountain work, the wider H130 for scenic and transfer flights, 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.
