Private jet charter in Seoul

From a London airfield Seoul is about 4,800 nautical miles in a straight line and nearer 6,000 on the southern track we fly through the Caucasus and Central Asia, which makes this a trip for a true long-range jet and for a plan made days ahead, not hours. Private Jets UK plans the whole chain, from the first quote to the car at the other end. 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. Seoul has three airports a private jet can use, and they could hardly be more different: Incheon never closes, Gimpo is close to the city but shuts for the night, and Seongnam is an air force base. The questions to settle early are the airport, the permit and the date.

 

 

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 Seoul 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 Bombardier Global 6000 with a stop in Baku 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 Seoul?

About 13 h 15 min from Biggin Hill including a fuel stop, and a little under fourteen hours from the Scottish airports. On the map the line from London to Seoul is short, but the track we plan runs well to the south: through Turkey and the Caucasus, across the Caspian Sea and Central Asia, then over north-western China to the Korean peninsula. That adds more than a thousand miles. The result, near 6,006 nautical miles, is at the edge of what a Global 6000 (rated at about 6,000 nm) can fly with passengers, so the standard plan is two legs through Baku: about 2,392 nm from Biggin Hill, then 3,614 nm on to Seoul. The time shown allows about an hour on the ground at the stop.

 

 

 

Prices for the private jet flights to Seoul

Typical trips from Britain, cheapest first, each one including the technical stop in Baku and landing at Gimpo. The weeks of Chuseok and Seollal and the cherry blossom fortnight sit above these figures, and the calendar block further down explains when.

 

The figures are one-way and cover the aircraft, crew, fuel, the stop in Baku and positioning home. Landing and parking charges, permits and catering are quoted on top once the dates are fixed. A Global 6000 from Biggin Hill or London City starts at £161,350; the same aircraft from Manchester is £164,550 and from Glasgow £167,850. There is no light-jet price on this page because no light or midsize jet can fly the sector: a Citation XLS+ has a range of roughly 2,100 nm and would need several stops, with a permit for each. If a broker quotes one, ask where it lands.

 

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 Seoul

Seoul is a good base for a north-east Asian loop. Tokyo and Beijing are comfortable light-jet and midsize sectors, Taipei and Hong Kong a midsize jet's work, and Jeju is a short hop over the sea. Typical one-way prices from Gimpo:

 

 

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

If you want to make an urgent calculation of the cost of a private plane flight, use our 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 Seoul:

 

 

 

This is a small part of what is available. A suitable long-range jet is rarely waiting in Seoul, so a charter normally starts with an aircraft positioned from Europe, the Gulf or elsewhere in Asia, and that is why the price is built from the London leg and not from a local base. A jet returning empty from a drop-off in Tokyo, Hong Kong or Singapore is the opening for a better price, and we look for it on every enquiry.

Business aviation airports in Seoul

Two airports do the work and a third is a special case. Each has its own hours, its own permit routine and its own idea of a private jet, and a quote that names one should say why.

 

Four points settle most Seoul arrivals:

 

 

Border, passport and permits

Korea works to a permit calendar. A landing permit is required for every general aviation flight, business, private or technical stop, and it is applied for by the operator with a local business sponsor, the crew licences and the passenger details. The slot comes first, then the permit: usually three working days at a civil airport and seven at a military one, although the authority can be quicker when an experienced flight-support agent files. Change the aircraft, the registration, the time or the destination and the permit is revised. British citizens enter visa-free for up to 90 days on a full British passport with a return or onward ticket, and the passport must be valid beyond the date of departure. Korea also asks most visa-free visitors for a K-ETA; British nationals have been covered by a temporary exemption that the Korean government sets for a limited period, so we check the rule for the date of travel and, where it applies, approval can take up to 72 hours. The e-Arrival card is filled in online up to 72 hours before landing. Crews do not need a visa for a stay of up to 15 days. On the British side the flight is filed on a General Aviation Report, between 48 and 2 hours before departure. Britain is outside Schengen and so is Korea, and the stop is made in Azerbaijan, so no part of the trip lands in the Schengen area. Customs is generally quick, and the local handler assists with the formalities.

 

 

From the apron to the city

Seoul is a large city and the airports are on its western and south-eastern sides, so which one you land at decides the first hour. Gimpo is a half-hour drive from the middle, Incheon is an expedition, and Seongnam suits the south-eastern suburbs. The times below are for a car in normal conditions; Seoul traffic is heavy, and the evening peak adds to all of them.

 

Flying to Seoul with a dog or a cat

Plan the paperwork before the date, because Korea and Britain both have rules, and the return is the harder half. The flight is long, with a stop, and the animal stays beside you in the cabin.

 

 

What the two halves look like:

• Into Korea: the published conditions we have seen ask for an ISO microchip, a current rabies vaccination and, depending on the country of departure, a rabies antibody test result of at least 0.5 IU/ml, with a health certificate endorsed by the government vet service of the country of departure. An animal that arrives without a microchip or with an out-of-date test can be held in quarantine at the owner's expense. We confirm the entry point and the paperwork for your animal in writing before the flight;
• Into Great Britain: South Korea does not appear in the gov.uk table of listed countries, so the stricter rules for countries that are not listed apply. The animal needs a Great Britain pet health certificate and a rabies blood test;
• For dogs, a tapeworm treatment from a vet between 24 and 120 hours before arrival in Britain. Cats do not need it, and each animal travels with the pet travel document and a declaration;
• No more than five animals per traveller, and a risk of quarantine of up to four months if the rules are not met;
• The stop in Azerbaijan is a third country, so its rules for an animal in transit are checked as well.

Requirements for cats, 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 Seoul calendar: blossom, monsoon, harvest and snow

Seoul has four distinct seasons and a calendar that follows them. Spring and autumn are the comfortable ones and carry the densest list of festivals, summer is hot and wet, and winter is cold and dry. Two national holidays send much of the city out of town. Knowing which week you want matters more than choosing an aircraft.

 

Ways to bring the Seoul price down

• Move the dates by a week to stay clear of Chuseok, Seollal and the blossom fortnight. October and May are calm and pleasant;
• Ask where the aircraft is based. A Global 6000 already in the Gulf or in Asia needs less positioning than one in London, and on a route this long positioning is a large part of the bill;
• Look at the size of the party before the aircraft. Up to a dozen people, a Global 6000 does the job; a G550 costs more per hour and earns it only for a bigger group or when the margin matters;
• Think about parking. A stay of a week with the aircraft waiting at Gimpo is priced differently from an aircraft that flies home and returns, and the better answer depends on the number of days.

 

Types of flights

Seoul produces a different mix from the leisure destinations we cover, because the city is the head office of large Korean groups, the centre of a large entertainment industry, and a hub for northern Asia all at once.

• Corporate and delegation travel, where the dates are fixed by the meeting and the paperwork, not the aircraft, usually 4 to 10 people;
• Asian loops that take in Tokyo, Beijing, Taipei, Hong Kong and Singapore, with Seoul as one stop of several;
• Official and diplomatic visits, which use the air base at Seongnam and a diplomatic landing permit;
• Music, film and media work, with equipment, crews and a lot of luggage;
• Leisure trips around the blossom in spring and the autumn colour, often with an extension to Jeju;
• Winter travel to the south of Korea and onward to the warm parts of Asia.

One-way or return is the question that takes the longest to answer. A return with the aircraft waiting for a week is a large invoice, and a one-way flight out with a scheduled flight home is cheaper than it looks, because the crew would otherwise be paid to wait. We quote both ways so that the difference is visible before you decide.

 

Empty Legs

An empty leg is a repositioning flight with nobody aboard, offered at a fraction of the usual price. On a route as long as London to Seoul they are rare, and they come from the pattern of the traffic rather than from volume.

Because a long leg is unusual, a client who can name a window of several days 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 Seoul match the day an operator releases it.

 

 

Helicopter charter

Seoul is not a helicopter city for visitors. The airspace over the centre is prohibited, the west and the Gimpo area are restricted, and the air base has quiet hours. A helicopter earns its place only at the edges of a trip, once a site and a permit exist, so it is agreed before the quote and not after.

We book a helicopter alongside the jet when a site and a permit are in place, and the type is confirmed with the quote. For most clients the car is the answer for the middle of Seoul and the jet the answer for the rest.

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.
