Private jet charter in Kristiansand

Southern Norway has just one airport with scheduled flights, and a light jet from London reaches it in about an hour and a half. Beyond the runway lies the coast Norwegians call Sørlandet: white wooden towns, thousands of islands, long sandy beaches, Norway's largest zoo with more than 900,000 visitors a year and, behind the harbour, a valley road that climbs north to the ski slopes of Setesdal. Private Jets UK plans the charter from the British departure field to the car waiting at the aircraft door. 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. Kristiansand Airport, Kjevik, is easy to use for a private jet: a 2,035 m runway, customs listed as available on request and a quiet apron. The evening is what needs a plan, because the tower is listed as closing before midnight, and a dog on board has to enter Norway at Oslo first.

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 Kristiansand 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 Kristiansand?

Plan on about an hour and a half from the London fields, and put your watch forward an hour on landing, because Norway keeps Central European time. The British airfields in the table lie between 348 and 590 nautical miles from Kjevik, which makes Kristiansand a light-jet or midsize sector from every part of Britain, and from Aberdeen the crossing takes little more than an hour. The aircraft in each row is the one we would usually put forward from that field.

Prices for the private jet flights to Kristiansand

Typical trips from Britain, cheapest first, all of them into Kjevik. London City is 507 nautical miles from Kjevik, and the fare tracks the distance closely. Three stretches of the summer can push a quote above these figures: the Palmesus beach weekend in late June, the July holiday weeks and the political week in Arendal in mid-August. The calendar block further down explains each one.

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 Kristiansand

Kjevik is a good base for a loop around the Skagerrak. Stavanger, Bergen and Oslo are turboprop hops of under an hour, Aalborg in northern Denmark is about 40 min away, and Billund, Copenhagen and Gothenburg fit inside a morning. Across the North Sea, Aberdeen and Amsterdam are short jet sectors. Typical one-way prices:

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.

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 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 Kristiansand:

This is a small part of what is available. Kristiansand is not a charter hub, so the aircraft that suits a booking is often one already in Oslo, Stavanger or Denmark, and where it starts the day decides the price more than the size of the cabin does. A client with flexible dates sees the better figure.

Business aviation airports in Kristiansand

One airport does nearly all the work. The rest of the list is a fallback on the west coast, an Oslo stop that pets make necessary, and a small field that is easy to mistake for an alternative.

Four things are worth settling before a Kristiansand arrival:

Customs, passports and the way back

The first landing in Norway is where the border is crossed, and any later hop to Stavanger or Oslo is a domestic flight with no passport check. Customs are a separate matter. Norway is outside the EU, so even a flight that starts in Denmark or Sweden ends with a customs check, the allowances for food, alcohol and tobacco apply to every traveller, and the value and cash limits are counted person by person, which matters to a group arriving with sailing gear, golf equipment or boxes of samples. The return follows British rules: the operator files the General Aviation Report with the border authorities between 48 hours and two hours before departure, British and Irish citizens do not need an electronic travel authorisation, and a passenger of any other nationality should check whether one is required.

From the apron to Posebyen

Christian IV laid the town out on a strict grid of 56 squares, and the grid survives as Kvadraturen. At its heart is Posebyen, the old wooden quarter, which is said to hold the longest continuous run of wooden buildings in northern Europe. The neo-Gothic cathedral with its 70-metre tower stands on the same grid, and the Fiskebrygga fish quay, the Christiansholm fortress and the city beach at Bystranda all sit in or beside it. Across the harbour, Odderøya, a former fortress and quarantine station, is now a recreation area with Kilden, the performing arts centre, and the Kunstsilo, a converted grain silo with Nordic modernist art. Everything beyond that is a drive, a boat trip or a short flight away.

Flying to Kristiansand with a dog or a cat

Norway applies pet rules of its own, apart from the EU's, and one of them fixes the route: a dog or cat coming from Britain has to be presented at Oslo. The animal stays in the cabin with its owners, never in a hold, and the domestic leg from Oslo to Kjevik takes under an hour, which most dogs sleep through.

What Norway asks for:

• An ISO microchip, fitted before the rabies vaccination and not after it;
• A rabies vaccination given when the animal was at least 12 weeks old, valid from 21 days after the primary vaccination is completed;
• A health certificate from an official veterinarian, following the EU model for animals from third countries, for each trip;
• For dogs, a tapeworm treatment with praziquantel or an equivalent product, given by a vet 24 to 120 hours before entering Norway and recorded in the certificate. Cats and ferrets are exempt;
• A rabies antibody blood test, unless the country of departure is treated as a listed country; the Norwegian Food Safety Authority, Mattilsynet, confirms the position for your dates and we put it in writing;
• Notice to Mattilsynet at least 48 hours before arrival, and entry through Oslo Airport Gardermoen or Storskog, with no other crossing allowed;
• No more than five animals on a non-commercial trip.

The rules for cats, ferrets, birds and rarer pets are gathered in our flying with pets guide. Coming home on a direct flight from Norway, a dog needs no tapeworm dose; it is needed only if the dog has been elsewhere or the routing includes another country. As always, we confirm the entry point, the routing and the paperwork for the animal in writing before the flight.

The Kristiansand calendar: beach weekends, political week and a long summer

The year here follows the sun. The weather station at Kjevik records about 1,780 hours of sunshine and about 1,380 mm of rain a year, with a daily high that averages 11.5 degrees over the twelve months, so the leisure peak is summer and the coast is at its busiest when the water is warm. The business diary is smaller and steadier, built around a few fixed weeks.

Ways to bring the Kristiansand price down

• Move the flight to a weekday or to the edge of the season. Tuesday to Thursday, and the weeks on either side of July, cost less than the Friday and Sunday legs of a summer weekend;
• Ask where the aircraft sleeps. A jet based in Oslo, Stavanger or Denmark needs only a short positioning flight, while one starting in the south of England carries the whole North Sea in the bill;
• Take the light jet unless the luggage argues otherwise. Four people with four bags do not need a midsize cabin, and the difference pays for a car for the coast and a table at Fiskebrygga.

Types of flights

Kristiansand produces a different mix from the oil cities up the coast, because it is a leisure coast with an industrial base behind it, and a good part of the demand is for a weekend and not a meeting.

• Regional business, with the nickel refinery in the city and the companies of Agder receiving visitors who want to fly in and out on the same day;
• Family trips built around Dyreparken, its Cardamom Town and Captain Sabertooth areas and the beach at Hamresanden;
• Archipelago weekends, with the boat through Blindleia, the island of Bragdøya and a helicopter hour over the coast;
• Winter weeks in Setesdal, flying into Kjevik and driving north on the Rv9 to Hovden;
• The political week in Arendal in August and the film festival in Grimstad in June;
• Onward flights to Stavanger, Oslo or Denmark, so that one aircraft covers a short circuit of the Skagerrak.

A day return is realistic. Take off at seven, park at Kjevik at twenty-five to ten local time, and leave again at six in the evening: that is about eight hours on the ground, with London reached at around twenty-five to seven British time. The crew stays with the aircraft and its waiting time is billed, but the total is normally lower than two separate one-way charters, and we quote both versions so the choice is yours.

Empty Legs

A jet that has delivered its passengers often has to fly home empty, and the operator would rather sell that sector at a low price than burn fuel for nothing. That is an empty leg. Kristiansand sees them in a seasonal pattern, and the pattern is worth knowing.

Set against the main London routes the south coast is a small market, so a client who can offer a few days has a far better chance than one who needs a single evening. The usual bargain applies: the operator sets the date and the hour, and a leg can disappear if the booking behind it moves. Whatever is free is listed on our empty legs page, and we flag a Kristiansand match the day an operator releases it.

Helicopter charter

In Kristiansand a helicopter is a way to see the coast, not to cross the city. The scheduled sightseeing offer is a single route, a flight of about 30 minutes over the city, Lillesand, the island fringe and Dyreparken, flown with an AS350 or a Robinson R44. For a private party a charter is arranged around the same ground, and the advantage is time: the stretch from Kjevik to Lillesand and the outer islands is a short flight and a long drive.

For a private party on this coast we normally suggest the single-engine Airbus H125, the roomier H130 for lodge and island transfers, and the H135 or Bell 429 when a twin-engine machine is preferred, with a larger type for big groups. They are booked together with the jet so that both crews follow one timetable.
