Private jet charter in Prague

From a London airfield the Czech capital is under two hours away, but it is the slot at Prague, not the flight, that sets the timetable. Private Jets UK builds the charter around that detail. 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. Prague has two runways of 3,715 m and 3,250 m, customs and immigration listed as available round the clock and a general aviation terminal of its own, while Vodochody, Brno and Karlovy Vary wait as alternatives when the programme points beyond the capital. The real decisions are the landing slot, the hour of arrival and whether the evening ends before the night rules begin.

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 Prague 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, 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 Prague?

About an hour and three-quarters from Biggin Hill or London City in a light jet, two hours from Edinburgh, and one hour of clock difference to add on arrival, because the Czech Republic keeps Central European time. At 566 to 786 nautical miles from the British fields we use, Prague is a light-jet sector from anywhere in England and a job for a larger cabin only when the party is big or the bags are many. The table gives the sector from each field.

Private jet flights from Prague

Prague sits in the middle of Central Europe, so most of the useful hops are short. Karlovy Vary and Brno are inside the country, Vienna, Bratislava and Berlin fit inside a turboprop or light-jet hour, Budapest and Munich are a little further, and the Riviera and the Gulf are the long 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.

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 Prague:

This is a small part of what is available. Prague sits among Vienna, Berlin, Munich and Warsaw, so there is often an aircraft within an hour of the airport, and a quote may name one of those cities as the positioning point. That is normal for a capital with a modest based fleet, and it is frequently where the better price comes from.

Business aviation airports in Prague

One airport carries almost every Prague trip, and three more matter when the programme leaves the capital. Which one is right depends on where the meeting is, and on what the aircraft weighs.

Four things to settle before a Prague landing:

Schengen, passports and the way home

The first landing in the Schengen area is where the formalities happen, and for a British party that landing is Prague. British passport holders need no visa for up to 90 days in any 180, provided the passport was issued less than ten years before arrival and remains valid for three months beyond departure. First-time visitors may be asked to register a photograph and fingerprints at the EU border system, which is free. Hotels register foreign guests with the foreign police on arrival; a private rental needs the guest to do it within three days. After the first landing the border is invisible. Czechia is a full member of the Schengen area, so a hop to Vienna, Berlin or Budapest needs no further passport control, although checks can be reintroduced at some borders. For the return to Britain, the General Aviation Report is filed not earlier than 48 hours and not later than 2 hours before departure, and British and Irish citizens need no electronic travel authorisation.

From the apron to the Old Town

Prague is a capital that most visitors know as a medieval skyline, but a private client sees something else: a business centre with a dense cultural programme, spa towns and castles within a morning's drive, and an airport that is a short ride from the middle. The three trips outside the city are the ones our clients ask about most.

Flying to Prague with a dog or a cat

For a pet the paperwork is the part of a Czech 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 under two hours most simply sleep. The date on the health certificate is the detail that goes wrong, because the certificate is valid for only ten days for entry to the EU.

What an EU country such as Czechia asks for when a pet arrives from Britain:

• An ISO microchip, fitted before the rabies vaccination or at the same time. An old tattoo is accepted only if it is still readable and predates the chip rules, so for practical purposes the chip is the rule;
• A rabies vaccination given when the animal was at least 12 weeks old, with 21 days elapsed after the first vaccination before the animal travels;
• An Animal Health Certificate for each trip, issued by an Official Veterinarian and valid for ten days for entry to the EU. A British pet passport cannot be used to enter the EU;
• A written declaration that the movement is non-commercial, and no more than five animals per traveller. The Czech tourist board names Prague Airport as the border inspection point where dogs and cats go through a veterinary check;
• For dogs, a tapeworm treatment from a vet between 24 and 120 hours before arrival back in Britain, recorded on the paperwork. Cats are exempt.

Requirements for cats, ferrets, birds and anything less usual are collected on our flying with pets guide. For the entry point and the paperwork on the way home, we confirm both in writing before the flight, and our managers check the position for your dates before a booking is taken.

The Prague calendar: music in May, markets in December

Prague is busy for much of the year, and the pressure comes from a handful of weeks rather than from the whole calendar. Knowing which week you want matters more than choosing an aircraft.

Ways to bring the Prague price down

• Move the dates by a few days where you can. The weeks after the Christmas markets close, and the gaps between the May concerts and the summer, are calmer than the festival weekends themselves;
• Ask where the aircraft is based. A jet that already sits in Prague, Vienna or Berlin takes less positioning than one coming from Britain, and on a sector of this length positioning is a meaningful part of the bill;
• Check whether Karlovy Vary works as well. On the same light jet from Biggin Hill, the sector to Karlovy Vary is priced about £600 lower than the one to Prague. The saving is real and so is the drive, so let the location of the meeting decide. Brno is further from Britain than Prague, so it saves nothing on the flight.

Types of flights

Prague produces a different mix from the Alpine or the Mediterranean destinations we cover, because it is a capital with a financial and cultural weight, a hub for the rest of the country, and at the same time the gate to the spas and castles of Bohemia.

• Business and finance travel, with fixed meeting dates and a small team: a morning in the city and an afternoon out, often with the return planned around the night rules;
• Congresses, trade fairs and corporate events at the Prague Congress Centre and the exhibition grounds, with delegations arriving in small groups;
• Culture and fashion: the Prague Spring concerts, the fashion shows, and photography and film crews with a large amount of equipment;
• Spa and wellbeing stays in Karlovy Vary, a short flight or a two-hour drive from the capital;
• Heritage day trips to Kutná Hora and Český Krumlov, with a car meeting the aircraft and a driver who knows the roads;
• Hops to Vienna, Berlin, Munich and Budapest inside a longer European loop.

The day trip is the one to look at closely. Land a little before ten, leave at five in the afternoon local time and you are on the British side again before six in the evening, UK time, with seven hours on the ground in between. A same-day return means the aircraft and crew wait for you rather than going home, and that waiting is paid for, but it often still comes out cheaper than two separate one-way charters. We quote it both ways, so the difference is visible.

Empty Legs

An empty leg is a repositioning flight with nobody aboard, offered at a fraction of the usual price. Prague has no single event that creates them, so they come from the pattern of neighbouring airports, and it helps to know what produces them.

Because the Czech 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 Prague match the day an operator releases it.

Helicopter charter

In Prague 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 places where rotary flight changes the journey are the spa valley to the west, the road south to Český Krumlov and the castle country around Kutná Hora.

The machines on this ground are the Airbus H125 for scenic and country work, the wider H130 for villa and castle 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 Prague 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.
