Private jet charter in Mulhouse

London to Mulhouse is a flight of about an hour and a quarter, and the question that matters is which half of the airport the aircraft will use. EuroAirport Basel-Mulhouse-Freiburg stands on French soil, is run jointly by France and Switzerland and has a Swiss sector and a French one, so the door you choose decides who checks the passports, whose customs officer looks at the bags and which handler meets the jet. Private Jets UK plans the charter around that choice. 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. Mulhouse is a city of museums, a Christmas market and a textile past, and it shares its airport with Basel, whose fairs and pharmaceutical companies fill the same aprons, so the calendar matters here almost as much as the aircraft.

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 Mulhouse 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 Biggin Hill to EuroAirport Basel Mulhouse, 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 Mulhouse?

About an hour and a quarter from Biggin Hill in a light jet, and a little under two hours from Edinburgh. France keeps Central European time, so the clocks on arrival are one hour ahead of Britain. Mulhouse has no airfield of its own that suits a jet, and the city is served by EuroAirport, about 25 km to the south, which is where we calculate the price. The table gives the flying time to EuroAirport from the British fields we use most, with the aircraft that normally flies each route.

Prices for the private jet flights to Mulhouse

Typical trips from Britain, cheapest first, all priced to a business aviation handler at EuroAirport. The weeks of Art Basel in June and the Christmas market can price above these figures, and the calendar block further down explains why.

The same Biggin Hill departure in a Citation CJ3+, priced to the four airports we use for a Mulhouse trip, one way:

Colmar-Houssen and Strasbourg save money on paper and cost it back in road time, so for Mulhouse they are fallbacks and not rivals. We use them when the EuroAirport apron is full, when the programme starts in Colmar or Strasbourg, or when the aircraft has to wait somewhere while you are in Basel.

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 Mulhouse

A flight out of Mulhouse goes in every direction at short range, because the airport sits where France, Switzerland and Germany meet. Zurich and Geneva are an hour or less by turboprop, Paris and Frankfurt fit into a light-jet hour, and the Riviera, Lombardy and the Gulf are the longer sectors. All of them leave from EuroAirport, and the sector you depart from is agreed with the handler when the trip is booked. 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 Mulhouse:

What you see here is a sample. Light and midsize jets move constantly through Basel, Zurich and Strasbourg, so an aircraft is often available close to EuroAirport, and outside the Art Basel and Christmas weeks that is where the sharper prices usually appear.

Business aviation airports for Mulhouse

One airport carries almost every Mulhouse trip, and four others stand behind it. The real decision is inside the first one, between the Swiss sector and the French sector, and it is made on the handler and the paperwork, not on the runway.

Four things to settle before a Mulhouse landing:

Hours, slots and the night rules at EuroAirport

EuroAirport is an airline airport that also runs a business aviation operation, and its rules are written for both. The airport administration, the border police, handling and air traffic services work round the clock. The staffed customs posts do not, and neither does general aviation at night. The airport's French aeronautical publication gives all its times in UTC and notes that in summer they move one hour earlier. Converted to the clock in Mulhouse, that gives the same local hours all year: the French customs post is staffed from 05:00 to midnight, the Swiss customs post from 05:15 to midnight, and the fuel suppliers from 05:00 to 23:00, with fuel outside those hours available on notice given by telephone before 21:00 local time.

The night rules depend on how a flight is classified. The publication bars general aviation landings between 22:00 and 06:00 local time and bars departures from the stands in the same hours, while commercial flights have a later cut-off around midnight, and it restricts the noisiest older types further. Which class a given charter falls into is settled with the handler for your date, so we plan an arrival or a departure inside the day, and a late dinner in Mulhouse is built backwards from the last practical take-off. Planning guides for the Basel fair weeks give the general aviation hours as 06:00 to 22:00 local time and add that airport overtime is not available. The same guides say that neither a slot nor prior permission is normally needed for a business flight, although aerodrome listings differ, and we confirm it with the handler for your date. The airport can introduce slots if congestion builds, and the fair weeks bring a one-hour limit on stopovers and a ban on overnight parking on the main ramp.

Switzerland, France and the customs line through the middle

EuroAirport is the only airport in the world run jointly by two states, and the arrangement affects every private flight that uses it. The land is French. In the Swiss sector, however, Swiss law governs customs, health services and policing, a customs road of about 2.5 km links the sector to Basel, and Swiss border guards handle passport control. In the French sector that job belongs to the French airport police. Both countries are in Schengen, so there is normally no second passport check on the road from the airport to Mulhouse or Freiburg. Customs is a separate matter: Switzerland is outside the EU customs union and France is inside it, and the side you leave by determines which administration inspects the luggage.

For a charter the procedure is shorter than it sounds. Planning guides describe passengers being walked from the aircraft to the lounge of the handler for passport and customs checks, which typically takes 10 to 20 minutes, and arrivals can choose between Swiss and French clearance. The practical rule is simple: the clearance you choose determines the paperwork for goods and animals, so say so at the booking. Declare what could be taxed. Tell us if the party is carrying watches, jewellery, artworks, samples or cash above the declaration threshold, and ask about the wine, spirits and cheese you plan to bring home, since the British allowances apply on return.

On the way home the General Aviation Report for Britain is filed no earlier than 48 hours and no later than 2 hours before departure, and we file it together with the flight plan. A British operator may also need a permit from the French or Swiss aviation authority to carry passengers on this route, which we check with the aircraft documents before quoting. Handler, sector and authority are confirmed to you in writing, not over the telephone.

From the apron to the Place de la Réunion

Mulhouse is the largest city of the Haut-Rhin department and the second city of Alsace after Strasbourg, with about 105,000 people in the town and about 280,000 in the agglomeration. For almost three centuries it was not French at all. The town allied itself with the Swiss Confederation in 1515, stayed outside the Alsace that France took in the seventeenth century, and joined France by a vote of its citizens in January 1798. The nickname that followed it through the nineteenth century, the French Manchester, came from its cotton printing works. The museums that grew out of that industry, and the Peugeot plant, one of the largest employers in Alsace, explain most of what brings visitors and business here. The distances below are by road from the city unless they say otherwise.

The cars, the trains and the printed cloth

Mulhouse has more serious museums than a town of its size should, and three of them justify the trip alone. The Cité de l'Automobile is the one we put first. It grew out of the collection of two brothers, Hans and Fritz Schlumpf, Swiss citizens who settled in Mulhouse and bought cars obsessively through the middle of the twentieth century, until they owned well over a hundred Bugattis. When textile workers occupied their mill the brothers left for Switzerland, and the collection was classified as a French historic monument the following year. The museum shows about 400 cars from a collection of more than 500, among them two of the six Bugatti Royales ever built and a replica of a third that the brothers assembled from original spare parts. It is a place where a half day passes without anybody noticing.

The Cité du Train sits in the Dornach district and began with locomotives placed in the old Mulhouse-Nord engine shed. The museum has about 60,000 square metres in all, of which about 35,000 are exhibition space, and its hall called the golden century of the railway covers the years from the middle of the nineteenth century to the eve of the Second World War with figures that light up as you approach. It is a better afternoon for a family than for a delegation, and the children are not the only ones who stay. The third stop is the Musée de l'Impression sur Étoffes, the museum of printed textiles at 3 rue des Bonnes-Gens, which grew from an archive of fabric designs kept by the city's Société Industrielle from 1833. The city's first textile printing works opened in 1746, and the museum shows what that trade did to the city and to fashion.

The old town, the zoo and the open-air museum

The old town is small, pedestrian and best seen on foot. Its centre is the Place de la Réunion, named for the city's reunion with France, with the Hôtel de Ville of 1553 on one side, a Rhenish Renaissance building with trompe-l'oeil paintings on its facade that the essayist Montaigne described in 1580 as a magnificent palace covered in gold. Above the square rises the Temple Saint-Étienne, a Protestant church built between 1859 and 1869, a reminder that Mulhouse was a Calvinist republic. The streets around hold cafes, the shops of the lower town and, in winter, the Christmas market. The tram network reaches the centre from the station, and a tram-train runs on from there to Thann.

Two more stops suit a day with children. The Parc zoologique et botanique, in the Rebberg district south-east of the centre, was founded in 1868 and covers 25 hectares at the edge of the Tannenwald forest. It keeps over 900 animals, among them polar bears and musk oxen in its Far North section, and its botanical garden holds about 3,500 plant varieties, including some 400 kinds of iris. Out of town, at Ungersheim, the Ecomusée d'Alsace has gathered about 80 houses, barns and workshops from across the region into what it calls the largest open-air museum in France, with craftsmen who show the old trades. Between them these stops fill a family weekend, and the evening usually ends with a flammekueche in a winstub.

The wine road to the north, the Vosges to the west, Basel and Freiburg beyond

The Alsace wine route starts in the north at Marlenheim and ends in the south at Thann, which calls itself the southern gate of the route, about 170 km of vineyards in all. Thann is the end nearest Mulhouse, and its vineyard, the Rangen, is a grand cru. From there the route runs north towards Guebwiller, Rouffach and Eguisheim, so a client in Mulhouse can take a half day along the foot of the hills and be back for dinner. Colmar, with the best-known villages of the route around it, is 29 minutes away by road if the party wants the full tour.

The Vosges rise directly behind the plain. The Grand Ballon, the highest summit of the Vosges at 1,424 m, lies inside the Ballons des Vosges regional natural park, some 25 km north-west of Mulhouse as the crow flies, and on a clear day the view reaches the Black Forest and the Jura, and sometimes the Alps. The Route des Crêtes starts from it and runs along the ridge, and the Markstein ski resort lies on the same road. In winter the hills are a short day of skiing and in summer a drive with a picnic. Freiburg im Breisgau, on the German side, is the gateway to the Black Forest and 47 minutes away by road, so a weekend that begins in Mulhouse can end on the other side of the Rhine without a second flight.

Basel is where the business comes from. Roche, which has been in the city since the end of the nineteenth century, and Novartis are the two anchors of a life sciences cluster of more than 800 companies, and Lonza has its headquarters there too. Those companies, the fairs at Messe Basel and the art market explain why EuroAirport sees so much business traffic and why a Mulhouse hotel is sometimes the easier room to find. Art Basel in June is the extreme case, with hotels around the airport sold out and a limit of one hour on stopovers during the restricted days. A party that stays in Mulhouse is about 33 km from Basel, which the train covers in about 23 minutes.

Flying to Mulhouse with a dog or a cat

The flight is the easy part of a trip with an animal, because it sits in the cabin beside you and an hour and a quarter passes quickly. What needs planning is the paperwork, and at EuroAirport there is one more question that no other French airport asks: which country the animal is entering when the aircraft stops.

If the aircraft parks in the French sector, France applies the EU rules to an animal arriving from Britain:

• Microchip: an ISO chip, implanted before the rabies shot;
• Rabies: vaccinated at 12 weeks or older, and 21 days must pass before entry;
• Paperwork: an Animal Health Certificate for every trip, signed by an Official Veterinarian and valid for ten days for entry to the EU. A British pet passport is not accepted for entry;
• Numbers and breeds: up to five animals per traveller, presented to customs on arrival. France bans category 1 dogs, the attack types without a stud book entry, and admits category 2 dogs only with a pedigree;
• Going home: a dog needs a vet's tapeworm treatment 24 to 120 hours before it lands in Britain, entered in the documents. Cats do not.

Cats, ferrets, birds and unusual animals are covered in our flying with pets guide. The certificate is valid for the return as stated on it, and an animal that fails the British entry rules can be put in quarantine for up to four months. The entry point and the paperwork for the animal are confirmed to you in writing before the flight.

The Mulhouse calendar: Basel fairs, the markets and the Vosges

Mulhouse has one season that fills the city, Christmas, and a set of Basel events that fill the airport. Knowing which of them overlaps with your dates matters more than choosing the aircraft.

Ways to bring the Mulhouse price down

• Shift the dates by a few days where you can. The days before Art Basel opens and the days after it closes are quieter than the fair itself, and a Tuesday at the Christmas market is a different proposition from a Saturday;
• Ask us where the aircraft sleeps. A jet based in Zurich, Strasbourg or Geneva has less distance to cover to reach you than one flying out from Britain, and on a hop this short that empty distance is a real part of the invoice;
• Book the smaller cabin if the baggage allows it. Four people with four bags are comfortable in a light jet, and what you save pays for the car and a table.

Types of flights

Mulhouse is half a museum town and half a back door to Basel, so one aircraft often serves two kinds of passenger: the collector with a free weekend and the manager with a meeting on Monday.

• Museum weekends, built around the Cité de l'Automobile, the Cité du Train and the printed textiles, often for collectors and families;
• Christmas market weekends, small parties who arrive on the Friday and leave on the Sunday, frequently with a dog;
• Business visits to Basel, Roche, Novartis and the Messe, with Mulhouse as the base for the evening;
• Art Basel and fair-week trips, where the aircraft lands at EuroAirport, drops the party and goes to Zurich or home;
• Wine and mountain days, the Alsace wine route from Thann, the Grand Ballon and the Route des Crêtes;
• Onward trips to Freiburg and the Black Forest, by road across the Rhine.

A day trip is possible and worth pricing. Wheels up from Biggin Hill at half past six puts you at EuroAirport at about a quarter to nine local time, and a departure at five in the afternoon brings you back to Britain at about a quarter past five UK time, after more than eight hours on the ground. Crew and aircraft stay at the handler for the day. That standing time is charged, but the total usually stays below two one-way charters booked separately, and we quote both options so that you can compare them.

Empty Legs

An empty leg is a positioning flight with no passengers, sold at a fraction of the normal fare. Mulhouse is a short hop from London, and the empty legs on it follow the fairs and the weekends.

Traffic on this corridor is lighter than on the busiest London routes, so a client who offers a window of a few days has much better odds than one who needs a specific evening. The price of that flexibility is control: the operator fixes the date and the hour, and a leg disappears if the booking it depended on moves. Current offers are on our empty legs page, and when one appears for Mulhouse we tell you the day it is released.

Helicopter charter

Around Mulhouse a helicopter is a way of saving the road rather than of seeing the country. EuroAirport sits within a few kilometres of both the Swiss and the German border, and a hop of a few minutes can link the airport with a site in the city or with a meeting across the Rhine. Rega, the Swiss air-rescue service, has a base on the Basel airfield.

For charter machines we look at the Airbus H125 for work over the hills, the H130 for transfers to country houses, the H135 and the Bell 429 when a twin-engine aircraft is wanted, and the H155 for larger groups. Helicopter and jet are booked together, and both crews follow a single timetable.
