Private jet charter to Reykjavik

Reykjavik is two hours and thirty-six minutes from Luton, and a little over two from Aberdeen, which makes Iceland a shorter flight than most people expect. The part that catches them out is the arrival. Two airports serve the capital: the city field two kilometres from the centre, and Keflavik fifty kilometres down the peninsula. Which one you use is settled by how much tarmac your aircraft needs rather than by preference, because the city runway is only 1,567 metres. A light jet or a super-midsize fits on it and lands ten minutes from your hotel; anything larger goes to Keflavik and forty-five minutes of road. Our customers have access to 6500 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. For 15 years of successful work, we have established partnerships with the world’s largest airlines and VIP terminals, which means we can offer you the most favorable 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 aircraft we quote for Iceland sit at the London fields, in Scotland and across Scandinavia, and Scottish departures are the shortest run to Reykjavik from anywhere in Britain. Reykjavik Airport closes overnight, so an arrival after eleven at night means Keflavik whatever the aircraft, and our brokers check the timing against those hours before quoting.

 

 

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 to Reykjavik 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).

 

 

Every price on this page is indicative and put together the way a real quote is: a named aircraft on a named sector, the passenger count shown. The tables below give current levels, and a personal calculation takes our consultant about 20 minutes through any form here.

 

How long does it take to fly to Reykjavik?

Two hours thirty-six minutes from Luton over a sector of 996 nautical miles. From Scotland it is considerably shorter: two hours and six minutes from Aberdeen, two ten from Edinburgh, two seven from Glasgow. The city airport is two kilometres from the centre and about ten minutes by road.

 

These are the sectors we fly most often into Reykjavik. Times include the climb and the descent, and the arrival airport shown is the city field rather than Keflavik:

Prices for the private jet flights to Reykjavik

Below are the approximate prices for recent flights from across the UK, sorted from the lowest price. Every aircraft here fits the city runway, and Scotland sits closer to Iceland than anywhere else in Britain, which puts Aberdeen at the top of the table rather than London:

We can arrange flights from any city in the UK. If you have any questions about the departure or the flight itself, please use the form below:

 

Private jet flights to Reykjavik from Europe and the North Atlantic

Iceland sits between two continents and the second table shows it. Akureyri in the north is forty-eight minutes on a turboprop, the Faroes an hour and a half, and Nuuk in Greenland is closer than Oslo:

 

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:

• Turboprops - from 1400 GBP per flight hour;
• Small jet - from 1800 to 2500 GBP per flight hour;
• Light jet - from 2300 to 3200 GBP per flight hour;
• Medium-sized jet (identical to Cessna Citation XLS+, Hawker 800XP, etc.) - from 2900 to 3700 GBP per flight hour;
• Large medium-class jet (similar to Challenger 300, etc.) - from 4500 to 5000 GBP per flight hour;
• Large jet (similar to Legacy 600) - from 4900 to 5700 GBP per flight hour;
• Long-haul jet (similar to Global 5000, Gulfstream G550, Falcon 7X, etc.) - from 6500 to 8500 GBP per flight hour;
• Business liners - from 10000 GBP per flight hour.

 

 

Also, we have prepared a table with the general prices of the most popular planes:

 

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 holds over 6500 business jets. On this route the classes divide along one line, which is whether the aircraft fits the city runway or has to use Keflavik:

 

This is only a part of what is available. The aircraft on your contract is chosen for the sector and the date, and on this route the runway decides as much as the cabin does.

 

How to book a private jet?

You can book a private jet flight to Reykjavik 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.
3. Commercial offer – we will send you a final offer on a specific model taking into account all your wishes.

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

 

How to rent a business jet with a crew

5 main stages:

• 

  Sending an application

• 

  Clarification of details and search for options

• 

  Preparation and coordination of optimal options

• 

  Registration of documents. Payment of the invoice.

• 

  Departure on the route.

 

Business aviation airports in Reykjavik

Two airports serve the capital and they are not interchangeable. Reykjavik Airport sits inside the city, two kilometres from the centre, and takes private traffic up to the super-midsize classes. Keflavik is the international gateway fifty kilometres down the Reykjanes peninsula, with two runways of three thousand metres and everything else the larger aircraft need. Both are run by Isavia.

The other constraint at the city airport is the clock. It works from seven in the morning until eleven at night, an hour later on weekend mornings, so a flight that lands at midnight goes to Keflavik regardless of what is flying it. Keflavik is open around the clock and is also the standard technical stop on the North Atlantic ferry route, which is why the ramp there holds a mix of arriving business jets and aircraft simply passing between continents.

 

 

Flying to Reykjavik with a dog or a cat

This is the rare destination where the honest answer is usually no. Iceland has no rabies and protects that status with the strictest animal import rules in Europe, and a pet cannot simply travel with you the way it can to France or Denmark.

If you are moving to Iceland rather than visiting, the outline is:

• An import licence from the Icelandic Food and Veterinary Authority, applied for well before travel and granted before the animal leaves Britain;
• An ISO microchip, a rabies vaccination and a rabies antibody blood test, with the timings dictated by the licence conditions;
• Additional testing and treatments that go beyond the European standard, including parasite work not required elsewhere;
• A booked place in the quarantine facility, which has limited capacity and is the item that usually sets the date of the move.

Requirements for ferrets, birds and anything less usual are set out on our flying with pets guide, though for Iceland specifically the licence is the governing document in every case.

 

Types of flights

Our company provides all types of business flights. Due to a wide variety of jets, we can arrange:

1. private flights;
2. corporate flights;
3. business class flights;
4. concert tours;
5. medical flights (with doctors and special equipment on board);
6. tourist flights for large and small groups;
7. sports charters for teams and coaching staff;
8. combined flights (partly by business jet, and partly by helicopter);
9. exclusive flights on luxury jets for businessmen, celebrities, and politicians;
10. cargo flights, etc.

A flexible approach and a wide experience allow us to solve problems of any complexity. In 90% of cases, we manage to arrange urgent flights (on the day of application). But to be sure, we recommend you send a request at least 2-5 days before the desired date of departure.

 

 

Empty Legs

Another way to fly cheaper is to use Empty Legs. This service allows you to save on regular charter rates. As you know, part of the flights is one-way (for example, when the passenger flies from England to Reykjavik). After the flight, the jet returns to its home base (for example, to London Farnborough airport) empty. Such flight is called “Empty Legs”. Empty leg flights can be as cheap as 50-75% off the standard charter price. This option is profitable for both the passengers and the charter companies. The clients can enjoy the services of business aviation at a very good price, while the airlines recoup part of the cost of fuel and jet maintenance.

It is almost impossible to find Empty Leg flights, as the information about them is stored in special databases available only to the aviation brokers and specialized companies. You should know that Empty Leg flights offer the same service as private jet charters. The passengers enjoy a 100% private jet flying experience. Services and flight conditions are discussed individually. We should note that our company cooperates with the world’s largest home bases, so we can offer our clients a wide choice of return flights. Just send a request to our manager who will help you find the best flight options. Please note that Empty Leg flights are sold out very quickly. To avoid such a problem, you can leave us a deposit, and we will contact you as soon as the flight of your choice becomes available. For additional information, check with the operators.

 

 

 

Jet Sharing

Today, Jet Sharing is just as popular as private jet charter. This service involves the joint rental of a business jet with other passengers (that is, the cost of the flight is divided equally between all passengers of a specific flight). This type of flight has become especially popular in the last few years. Many people like Jet Sharing because it allows you to enjoy all benefits of business aviation at favorable prices.

We should note that the number of passengers per Jet Sharing flight varies from 3 to 8, while the cost of the flight ranges from 1200 to 6000 pounds (depending on the destination). This way, you can get a comfortable flight on a business jet (and maybe even meet new business partners) at a very good price. You can check out the schedule of Jet Sharing flights by filling in the online form or contacting our operators by phone or WhatsApp.

Main advantages of this service:

• All privileges of business aviation, including the use of the business aviation terminal and the check-in 30 minutes before the flight, are retained;
• You can also use the services of the VIP Lounge (included in the price of the flight);
• No baggage restrictions;
• Affordable price: jet sharing is much cheaper than private jet charter;
• Pets can be carried directly in the aircraft cabin.

 

Our consultants will be happy to help you choose the best flight.

 

 

Helicopter charter

Iceland is the strongest case for rotary work anywhere we operate, and not because the roads are slow. Much of the interior has no roads at all, glaciers cannot be driven onto, and an active fissure is closed to the public on the ground while being perfectly visible from the air. The helicopter is not a shortcut here; it is the access:

 

 

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

Reykjavik as a destination

Reykjavik is a capital of about a hundred and forty thousand people, roughly the size of Cambridge, and it works accordingly: everything is walkable, everyone seems to know everyone, and the whole thing sits under a mountain with the North Atlantic at the end of the street. Almost nobody flies here for the city alone. It is the door to the island.

What people come for is geology doing things in real time. Iceland straddles the mid-Atlantic ridge, the Reykjanes peninsula has been erupting repeatedly in recent years, and the ground is warm enough that the city heats itself and its swimming pools from underneath. The waterfalls, the glaciers and the black beaches are all within a few hours of the runway.

The seasons here are not a matter of degrees but of light. In late June it does not properly get dark; in late December the sun clears the horizon for about four hours. Both are reasons to come, and they are entirely different trips.

Where to stay

• The Reykjavik EDITION on the old harbour, the newest of the serious hotels and the one most business visitors book;
• Hotel Borg on Austurvollur square, art deco from 1930 and the address with the history;
• The Retreat at the Blue Lagoon, built into the lava field twenty minutes from Keflavik, which is a destination rather than a place to sleep;
• Deplar Farm in the north, a former sheep farm turned lodge, reachable by helicopter and booked by the week;
• The Hotel Ranga on the south coast, out under dark skies, which is where people go for the aurora rather than the town.

What to do

• The Golden Circle: Thingvellir where the parliament met from 930 and the continents are visibly pulling apart, Geysir, and Gullfoss;
• Swim. Every settlement has a geothermal pool and the locals use them daily; the Sky Lagoon and the Blue Lagoon are the polished versions;
• The south coast to Vik, the black sand at Reynisfjara and the icebergs at Jokulsarlon;
• Glacier and volcano flights, which is the part of Iceland that a car cannot reach;
• The aurora between September and April, on a clear night and with the patience to wait for one;
• Eat. Reykjavik does lamb, langoustine and cod better than its size suggests, and the tasting menus book out.

When the island is busy

• June to August, the midnight sun, when the country is full and the light lasts all night;
• New Year in Reykjavik, which the city celebrates with fireworks on a scale that has to be seen;
• February and March for the aurora, which is the second peak and a very different crowd;
• Any week when an eruption is in progress, which fills the hotels within days and is entirely unpredictable;
• October to November and late April, the shoulder weeks, when the island is quiet and this route is at its cheapest.
