Private jet charter in Rovaniemi

A light jet needs a little over three hours to carry a family from a London airfield to the Arctic Circle, and the clocks on the ground read two hours ahead of Britain's. The reason for going decides everything else: Santa Claus Village in the weeks before Christmas, the northern lights from a glass-roofed room, a summer of light that never quite ends, or a meeting in the capital of Finnish Lapland. 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. Rovaniemi has one airport, a 3,002 m runway and no real alternative within easy reach, so the decisions that matter are the season, the size of the cabin and how far into Lapland you are going.

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 Rovaniemi 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 London Luton, 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 Rovaniemi?

A Phenom 300E out of Luton needs 3 hours 5 minutes, a Citation CJ3+ from Biggin Hill about 20 minutes longer, and a Phenom from Edinburgh or Newcastle about 20 minutes less, because the northern fields are the closer ones: Edinburgh is only 1,082 nautical miles from Rovaniemi against 1,245 from Biggin Hill. Put your watch two hours forward on arrival, since Finland keeps Eastern European time and changes its clocks on the same dates as Britain. The sectors in the table run from 1,082 to 1,310 nautical miles, which is long for a light jet and routine for a midsize one.

Private jet flights from Rovaniemi

Rovaniemi is the door to the whole of Finnish Lapland. Kittilä, for Levi and Ylläs, and Ivalo, for Saariselkä and Inari, are short turboprop hops. Tromsø in Norway and Kiruna in Sweden are across the border in about an hour to an hour and a quarter, Helsinki is a light-jet sector of about 1 hour 15 minutes, and Stockholm, Oslo and Copenhagen all fit inside a short working day. 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:

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 Rovaniemi:

This is a small part of what is available. Rovaniemi sits at the far north of the European fleet, so a jet is rarely based within an hour of the airport; aircraft more often come from Helsinki, Stockholm, Oslo or Britain, and the positioning is part of the price. The weeks before Christmas are when booking early matters most.

Business aviation airports in Rovaniemi

One airport does the work. The others on this list matter because the trip is really to another part of Lapland, because a quote names them, or because winter weather makes a diversion plan part of the booking.

Four points settle most Rovaniemi arrivals:

Border, passport and the way home

Because Finland is inside Schengen, the first landing is where the formalities happen, and a hop on to Kittilä or Ivalo is a domestic flight with no further border check. Customs and immigration at Rovaniemi work within the airport's hours, with four hours' notice outside them, and the passenger details go to the border guard and customs before departure. Bring passports that are in date, declare anything that may be prohibited or subject to duty, and leave the meat and milk products at home, since the usual EU limits on them apply to what you carry in. The way 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 airfield. Visitors who need no visa for Britain still need an Electronic Travel Authorisation unless they are British or Irish citizens, and we file the paperwork on our side.

From the apron to the Arctic Circle

Rovaniemi looks young for a reason. About nine tenths of its buildings were destroyed in the Lapland War, at the end of the Second World War, and Alvar Aalto had a hand in the rebuilding, which gave the street plan the outline of a reindeer's head. The centre stands where the Kemijoki meets the Ounasjoki, about 6 km south of the Arctic Circle, with the Arktikum science museum on the river bank and the Ounasvaara hill, and its small ski centre, across the water. Everything that draws families north, Santa Claus Village, SantaPark and the glass-roofed hotels, lies out towards the airport.

Flying to Rovaniemi with a dog or a cat

Finland asks a little more of a dog than most of its neighbours, and the extra step has a clock on it. The flight itself is the easy part: the animal sits beside you in the cabin, never in a hold, and on a sector of three hours most simply sleep. What matters is that every date on the paperwork falls inside its window.

What Finland, as an EU country, asks for:

• An ISO microchip, fitted before or at the same time as the rabies vaccination, never after it;
• A rabies vaccination given when the animal was at least 12 weeks old, with 21 days elapsed before entry;
• 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 British pet passport is not accepted for entry to the EU;
• No more than five animals per traveller. The Finnish Food Authority lists Helsinki-Vantaa as the only airport where a pet arriving from outside the EU can be presented to customs, and Rovaniemi is not on that list, so we confirm in writing that the rule applies to your private flight, plan the first landing at Helsinki, clear the animal there, and fly on to Rovaniemi as a domestic leg;
• For dogs, a tapeworm treatment on the way in, which not every EU country asks for: praziquantel given by a vet between 24 and 120 hours before arrival in Finland and recorded on the certificate. The Finnish authority gives a tighter limit for some journeys from outside the EU, so we check the window for your dates. Cats are exempt;
• For dogs returning to Britain directly from Finland, no tapeworm treatment is needed; it is required, from a vet between 24 and 120 hours before arrival and recorded with product, date and time, only if the dog has been in another country or the routing includes one, and we confirm that in writing.

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 Rovaniemi calendar: a year ruled by light

Rovaniemi runs on light more than on events. Winter brings snow, the aurora and Christmas, early summer brings a sun that does not set, and between them lie quieter weeks that are good value. Knowing which season you want matters more than choosing an aircraft.

Ways to bring the Rovaniemi price down

• Move the dates away from 20 to 26 December. The first week of December and the first week of January are calmer, and the shoulder months of September and the spring are calmer still;
• Ask where the aircraft is based. A jet that already sits in Helsinki, Stockholm or Oslo needs less positioning than one flown out from Britain, and on a sector of this length positioning is a visible slice of the invoice;
• Count the bags before the seats. Four people with four bags do not need a midsize jet, and the money saved pays for the car, the igloo and the husky ride.

Types of flights

Rovaniemi produces a mix of its own, because the city is a family destination in December, a lights and fishing destination for the rest of the year and the regional capital all through it.

• Family Christmas trips to Santa Claus Village and SantaPark, usually three to five nights, with winter clothes taking most of the hold;
• Northern-lights breaks between late August and April, built around a glass-roofed room and often a reindeer or husky outing in the Village;
• Winter-sports weeks that start at Rovaniemi and end at Levi, Ylläs or Saariselkä, with a turboprop or a second jet for the leg north;
• Midnight-sun trips in June, with fishing, canoeing and hiking as the main draw;
• Business and university visits to the Lapland capital, with a small team, fixed dates and a request for a quiet passage through the terminal.

A same-day Santa trip sits at the edge of what is sensible. Leaving Luton at seven puts you on the ground just after midday local time, and an early afternoon departure for home would leave only a couple of hours in a Village that is dark by teatime in midwinter. Most families take two or three nights, and on this route we quote the aircraft either waiting or going home and returning, 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 Rovaniemi route they follow the Christmas calendar more than the working week, and it helps to know what produces them.

Because the corridor to Lapland is much 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 Rovaniemi match the day an operator releases it.

Helicopter charter

In Rovaniemi a helicopter is a tool for the edges of a trip and not the middle. The Village is about 3 km from the terminal, which a car covers in minutes. The places where rotary flight changes the journey are the lodges away from the road, the wildlife park at Ranua and the long run north to the fells.

The machines usually offered for this kind of work are the Airbus H125 for short scenic flights, the wider H130 for lodge and lakeside 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.
