Private jet charter in Ras Al Khaimah

A jet leaving the London fields in the morning can put its passengers down at the northern tip of the UAE for roughly the price of a Dubai sector, with the beach, the golf course and the mountain all within an hour of the apron. That is the whole case for Ras Al Khaimah, and it is a good one. Private Jets UK arranges the charter from the first quote to the car 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. The emirate's own airport has a single runway of about 3,760 m, an air traffic tower and customs on the field, and as a modest airline airport it does not leave a private arrival queuing for a stand. The decisions that remain are the cabin for a seven-hour sector, the week, and whether the stay is a resort break, a golf week or a day in the Hajar 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 Ras Al Khaimah 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, an Embraer Praetor 600 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 Ras Al Khaimah?

Allow about seven and a half hours in the air. A Praetor 600 from Biggin Hill or Stansted needs seven hours 20 minutes, the Midlands and the north of England add ten to fifteen minutes, and Glasgow takes closer to eight hours. The distance runs from 3,071 to 3,282 nautical miles, counted with an allowance for the routing, which is beyond any light or midsize jet that flies without a fuel stop. The Gulf keeps one time all year, four hours ahead of Britain in winter and three in summer because the UAE does not change its clocks. The table gives the sector from each British field we use, flown nonstop to Ras Al Khaimah International.

Prices for the private jet flights to Ras Al Khaimah

Typical trips from Britain, cheapest first, all flown nonstop in a super-midsize jet into Ras Al Khaimah International. The winter high season, the golf and marathon weeks and the festive fortnight sit above these figures, and the calendar block further down explains when.

Ras Al Khaimah costs about the same to reach as Dubai, because the two lie on almost the same bearing from Britain and the sector is the same length within a few miles. A Praetor 600 out of Biggin Hill is £48,800; the same aircraft out of Glasgow is £51,950, a difference of about £3,150. On a sector this long the flying dominates the bill, so the starting airfield matters less than the aircraft. A large-cabin or long-range jet moves the whole table up, and a round trip with the aircraft waiting at the resort is priced differently from two single legs. 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 Ras Al Khaimah

Ras Al Khaimah is a one-way destination for most clients, but a good number carry on. Dubai World Central is 63 nautical miles away and Abu Dhabi 112, both short enough for a small jet, while Muscat, Doha and Bahrain are an hour or so away across the Gulf. 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 Ras Al Khaimah:

This is a small part of what is available. The Gulf has a large home-grown business jet fleet, with operators based in Dubai, Abu Dhabi and the neighbouring capitals, and outside the winter peak there is sometimes an aircraft already in the region whose positioning we can share. For the flight out from Britain, though, the jet usually comes from a European base, and the positioning is part of the quote.

How to book a private jet?

You can book a private jet flight to Ras Al Khaimah in 6 easy steps:

1. Flight request - indicating the route and your preferences for the model of business jet and other points.
2. Coordination of flight details - our consultant will contact you to offer the possible flight options and answer all your questions.

Our experts will be happy to answer your questions and help you arrange your flight.

Business aviation airports for Ras Al Khaimah

One airport is the obvious answer and three more are worth knowing. They differ in purpose, and a quote that names the wrong one costs the guests an hour on the road.

Four points settle most Ras Al Khaimah arrivals:

Border, passport and the first hour

What the officers expect is in order before the aircraft leaves Britain: crew and passenger details and the general declaration filed with the handling agent, the landing permit confirmed, and a passport with six months left. UAE immigration clears crew and passengers on the field, and a party arriving on a private flight is usually through quickly because there are no queues of airline passengers. The free visitor visa is issued on arrival, but a visit visa does not allow work, and an overstay is fined for every day. Medication the UAE classes as narcotic needs approval in advance from the Ministry of Health, and the allowance is a supply of up to three months, so a traveller on prescription medicine should tell us early. On the way home Britain applies its own rule for private flights: the General Aviation Report is filed no earlier than 48 hours and no later than 2 hours before departure, and we file it for you.

From the apron to Al Marjan Island

Ras Al Khaimah is a strip of coast with a mountain behind it, and the resorts sit along the sea while the sights are inland. Most of what a guest does lies within a drive of about 40 minutes from the coast, which makes the choice of hotel more important than the choice of airport.

What private clients do on the ground

Most of the traffic is leisure. The list is short and it is easier to plan once you know how the pieces fit together.

• Al Marjan Island: a man-made island with a run of beach resorts, among them Rixos Bab Al Bahr and Rixos Al Mairid, DoubleTree by Hilton, Hampton by Hilton, Mövenpick, Pullman, Radisson and The Cove Rotana. The island is the centre of the emirate's beach holiday. Wynn Al Marjan Island, a casino and hotel resort with a tower of about 1,530 rooms, 22 restaurants and bars, a theatre and a marina, is being built here, and we check its opening status when you book;
• Al Hamra: a self-contained residential and resort district with Waldorf Astoria Ras Al Khaimah on the beach, an 18-hole par-72 golf course designed by Peter Harradine, a marina and a yacht club. The Ritz-Carlton Ras Al Khaimah, Al Hamra Beach is a villa resort of 32 beachfront villas with private pools;
• Jebel Jais: the highest mountain reached from the UAE side, with a launch point at about 1,680 m for Jais Flight, a zipline of 2.83 km that takes about three minutes and reaches speeds above 140 km/h. The rider must be at least 12, between 40 and 120 kg and at least 122 cm tall, and the whole visit takes 60 to 75 minutes. Beside it sit the Jais Sky Tour, a five-kilometre route over six ziplines, the Jais Sledder mountain coaster, a viewing deck park with seven platforms and telescopes, and 1484 by Puro, described as the highest restaurant in the UAE;
• Dhayah Fort: a twin-peaked mud-brick fort on a hill of about 70 m between the palm groves and the mountains, reached by a zigzag stair of more than a hundred steps. It was the scene of an early nineteenth-century battle between British troops and the local Qawasim, it sits on the UNESCO tentative list, and the climb has no lighting, so visit it in daylight;
• The mangroves: guided kayak trips run in the creeks near the town, and at Al Rams the Suwaidi Pearl Farm runs tours through the mangroves in a pearl diver's boat, with lunch on some of them;
• Dreamland Aqua Park: a 250,000 square metre water park with more than thirty slides, a wave pool and a lazy river. It stands in Umm Al Quwain, the next emirate south, not in Ras Al Khaimah, closes on Mondays and suits the drive up from Dubai better than a stay on the coast.

Flying to Ras Al Khaimah with a dog or a cat

The United Arab Emirates takes pets from Britain under a clear set of rules, but there are several steps and the order matters. The first practical step is the import permit, which the UAE Ministry of Climate Change and Environment issues online once the flight date is confirmed.

What the UAE typically asks for when a dog or cat arrives from Britain:

• A MOCCAE import permit, applied for online after the travel date is fixed;
• An ISO microchip and a valid rabies vaccination, with the animal at least 12 weeks old;
• An official veterinary certificate endorsed by the British competent authority, which for Britain means an export health certificate;
• No more than two pets per person per year, two dogs, two cats or one of each, except for resident animals returning home;
• No entry for the banned breeds, a list that covers pit bull types including the Staffordshire Bull Terrier, the mastiff types such as the Dogue de Bordeaux, Cane Corso and Presa Canario, the Japanese Tosa and their crosses, judged on appearance.

Requirements for ferrets, birds and anything less usual are collected on our flying with pets guide, and our managers confirm the position in writing for your dates before a booking is taken.

The calendar: a winter coast with a long hot summer

The emirate has two seasons for visitors. From about November to April the days are warm and the nights cool, the mountain is at its best and the events fill the diary. Summer is long and very hot on the coast, the mountains are cooler, and the diary is empty. The week you choose matters more than the aircraft.

Ways to bring the price down

• Move the dates by a few days, away from the marathon and golf fortnight and the festive weeks. The days in between are calmer and the permits are quicker to arrange;
• Ask where the aircraft is based. A jet that already sits in the Gulf needs less positioning than one coming from Britain, and on a sector this long positioning is a large share of the bill;
• Choose the cabin for the sector. A super-midsize jet flies the route without a stop, while a smaller one adds a stop, so the cheaper hourly rate is not always the cheaper trip;
• Book the return at the same time. A round trip with the aircraft waiting is priced differently from two single flights, and the difference is worth asking about.

Types of flights

The emirate produces a leisure-heavy mix that suits a private aircraft well, because the party often arrives together, with a lot of luggage and a plan that does not depend on an airline schedule.

• Family and winter-break travel from Britain between November and April, with a week or more at a beach resort and a day trip into the mountains;
• Golf and sports weeks, built around the February golf championship, the marathon and the triathlon, with bags, bikes and equipment in the hold;
• Weekend and incentive groups that use Ras Al Khaimah instead of Dubai for a quieter resort and a shorter transfer;
• Combined itineraries with Dubai or Abu Dhabi, where the jet lands on the coast and the business meetings are a drive or a helicopter hop away;
• Onward legs to Muscat, Doha, Bahrain, Riyadh or the Indian Ocean for clients whose aircraft carries on;
• Positioning flights, where a client travels on a leg that the aircraft was making anyway.

A same-day return from London is not a practical plan on this route. The aircraft and crew would spend the best part of a day in the air and the time on the ground would be short. A better pattern is to leave in the morning, spend a few nights on the coast and fly back with the aircraft waiting, which we quote next to two separate one-way flights 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. On the Ras Al Khaimah route they follow the pattern of the winter season and the Gulf fleets, and it helps to know what produces them.

Because the long sector between Britain and the Gulf is flown less often than a European city pair, 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 Ras Al Khaimah match the day an operator releases it.

Helicopter charter

The helicopter has two jobs here. One is the transfer between Dubai and the coast, which operators quote at under half an hour against a road time of about an hour and a quarter. The other is the view: the mountain, the island and the coast are worth seeing from the air, and the Hajar range is much more dramatic from above than from the car.

We do not publish a fixed fleet list for the UAE, because the machines that are available change with the operator and the task. Tell us the sites and the number of passengers, and we come back with the machine, the price and the permission status in one reply.
