Private jet charter in Lisbon

The clock does not move when a jet leaves Britain for Lisbon, so a breakfast departure from a London field puts you on the Tagus in time for a late-morning meeting, and what shapes the trip is the airfield you pick on arrival: the capital's main airport, or a small municipal strip on the Cascais side that few clients have heard of. 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. Lisbon Humberto Delgado has one 3,707 m runway, a customs desk that never closes and a ban on movements between midnight and 06:00 that admits only a limited number of exceptions, so the decisions that count are the hour of departure, the cabin size and whether the small airfield at Cascais does the job better.

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 Lisbon 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 Farnborough, an Embraer Phenom 300E 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 Lisbon?

Two and a half hours is the working figure from the London fields, and the clock stays where it is, because mainland Portugal keeps the same time as Britain all year, summer saving included. At 827 to 1,098 nautical miles the sector sits in the middle of the short-haul range: well within a light jet, long enough that a midsize cabin starts to earn its price. The table gives the sector from each British field we use.

Prices for the private jet flights to Lisbon

Typical trips from Britain, cheapest first, flown into Lisbon Humberto Delgado. Web Summit week, the June street festivals and the summer festival weekends sit above these figures, and the calendar block further down explains when.

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.

Private jet flights from Lisbon

Lisbon is a good base for the western corner of Europe. Porto, Faro and Seville are short enough for a turboprop, Madrid is one jet hour, and the Atlantic opens out beyond it: Madeira to the south-west, and Nice or Paris Le Bourget for a longer trip back into the continent. 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.

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 Lisbon:

This is a small part of what is available. Lisbon sits at the far western edge of the European fleet, so an aircraft is not always standing by in the city itself, and one positioned from Madrid, Porto or Faro is often where the better price comes from.

Business aviation airports in Lisbon

Two airports matter, and they are not interchangeable. The rest of the names that turn up in a quote are either diversions, a helicopter option or no airport at all.

Four points settle most Lisbon arrivals:

Cascais or Lisbon: which airfield for which trip

It depends on where you are sleeping. Humberto Delgado is the safer default and the only option for a heavy aircraft. Cascais is the better field when the party is small, the jet is light, the destination is Cascais, Estoril or Sintra, and the arrival falls inside the opening hours.

Border, passport and the way home

Britain is outside Schengen, so the first landing in Portugal is where the formalities happen, normally inside the terminal at Humberto Delgado. If the aircraft goes to Cascais instead, the same checks are arranged there on prior request, not on the day. The handler files the customs declaration and the passenger and crew details before arrival, and passports have to be in date and carried by every passenger. The flight 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 field. 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 the passports.

From the apron to the Atlantic coast

Lisbon sits on the north bank of the Tagus estuary and the coast road runs west from it to Estoril and Cascais, with Sintra in the hills behind. The places that matter are all within an hour of one of the two airfields, except Comporta, which lies across the river and needs rather longer.

Flying to Lisbon with a dog or a cat

Portugal asks for paperwork that has to be exact, and the flight itself is the easy part: the animal sits beside you in the cabin, never in a hold, and a sector of two and a half hours is one most dogs sleep through. The detail that catches people is that the animal is inspected by a vet at the point of entry and the airport wants to hear about it beforehand.

What Portugal asks for, as an EU country:

• An ISO microchip, fitted before the rabies vaccination. The Portuguese leaflet says the vaccine must not be given before the chip has been applied or read;
• A rabies vaccination given when the animal was at least 12 weeks old, valid only once 21 days have passed since the first course was completed;
• 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 pet passport issued in England, Scotland or Wales cannot be used to enter the EU;
• Written notice to the Traveller Entry Point where the animal arrives, which DGAV guidance has put at no less than 48 hours before landing, and we confirm the current period for your dates. At Lisbon airport a live animal import is also something the airport lists as needing prior permission;
• No more than five animals per traveller, and a puppy or kitten under 12 weeks is not admitted;
• For dogs, a tapeworm treatment from a vet between 24 and 120 hours before the return flight to 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 Lisbon calendar: a capital that fills up in June and November

Lisbon has two peaks that overwhelm everything else: the street festivals of June and the technology conference of November. In between there are music weekends on the coast, a long and gentle summer and a winter that suits golf. Knowing which week you want matters more than choosing an aircraft.

Ways to bring the Lisbon price down

• Shift the dates by a few days if the diary allows. The week after the Santos Populares weekend is calmer, and so is the second half of November once Web Summit has left;
• Ask where the aircraft is based. A jet that already sits in Porto, Faro or Madrid costs less to bring over than one flown out from Britain, and on a sector of this length 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 golf bags do not, and the quote that looks cheap on paper is often the one that changes.

Types of flights

Lisbon produces a different mix from the Alpine or the Italian destinations we cover, because the city is a technology and business capital in the working week and a resort gateway at the weekend.

• Conference and delegation travel, with Web Summit the largest single draw, where dates are fixed and arrival formalities are the main concern;
• Golf and coastal weekends around Cascais and Estoril, often flown into the small Cascais airfield by a party of four or fewer;
• Sintra and Cascais excursions, usually combined with a night or two in a quinta or a palace hotel;
• Comporta and Alentejo coast weekends, which start with a flight to Lisbon and a long drive or a helicopter hop south;
• Onward trips to Madeira, Porto and the Algarve, often a leg tacked on to a Lisbon stay;
• Day trips from London, which at two and a half hours each way are a long day but a workable one.

Lisbon works as a day trip because the clock does not change. Wheels up at seven, on the ground before ten and off again at six in the evening gives you about seven hours in the city and puts you back in Britain by half past eight. The crew waits at the FBO or at the small field in Cascais, and that waiting time is charged, yet the total is usually below two one-way charters. We price the route both ways so you can compare.

Empty Legs

Some jets reach Lisbon with a party and leave without one, moving on to their next job, and the operator will sell that leg cheaply rather than fly it for nothing. That is an empty leg. On the Lisbon route the supply follows the event calendar more than the working week.

Because the corridor to the far west of Europe 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 Lisbon match the day an operator releases it.

Helicopter charter

In Lisbon a helicopter is a tool for the edges of a trip and not the middle. The old quarters are tight, steep and best crossed on foot or by tram, and the places where rotary flight changes the journey are the coast to Cascais, the hills of Sintra and the long drive south to the Alentejo.

The machines on this ground are the Airbus H125 for coastal and hill work, the wider H130 for scenic and villa transfers, 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.

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