Private jet charter in Split
From a London airfield to the Dalmatian coast takes a little under two and a half hours in a light jet, and what changes the trip more than the flight time is the month. Private Jets UK builds the charter around it. 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. Split Airport at Resnik has a 2,550 m runway and customs on duty round the clock, but handling is compulsory and general aviation parking thins out fast between June and September, so in July the aircraft is the easy part and the apron is the hard one.
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 Split 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 Split?
About two and a half hours from Biggin Hill or London City in a light jet, closer to three from Edinburgh, and an hour of clock difference on arrival, because Croatia keeps Central European time. At 839 to 1129 nautical miles from the British fields we use, Split is a long light-jet sector from the south of England and a job for a bigger cabin from Scotland. The table gives the sector from each field.

Door to door, and the clock on the wall
Leave a London airfield at seven in the morning and you are on the ground at Resnik at about half past ten local time. The airport sits between Trogir and Split, about 19 km from the old town, and a private transfer from the terminal to the Riva typically takes about half an hour outside the peak weeks. A client who walked out of a London office at half past six can be sitting down to lunch beside the Diocletian's Palace walls before one, and the whole journey from central London to central Split comes to roughly five hours. A scheduled flight with a change rarely does it in a working day.
Light jet or midsize: how the choice usually goes on this route
– Up to four people with ordinary bags, a light jet is the right answer and the saving over a midsize cabin buys the boat for the day. Two and a half hours in a CJ3+ or a Phenom is comfortable, though it is the longest sit we recommend a light jet for;
– With six people, snorkelling and diving gear, a sailing party's soft bags, or a week of formal and beach clothes, we quote a midsize jet alongside so you see both figures. On the Dalmatian run the hold decides before the seat count does;
– A heavy jet earns its place only for a large party, for a trip that carries on from Split to the Gulf or beyond, or when the same aircraft stays with you across several European stops. Runway length is not the issue: the 2,550 m runway is long enough for anything we would send, and only the largest business liners need fire cover arranged in advance.

Onward from Split: when the aircraft wins and when the boat does
The coast looks close on a map and slow on the ground, so the choice between a flight and a road or sea leg is made leg by leg. Brač is only 23 nautical miles from Resnik and a PC-12 does it in about 25 minutes, but the Split to Supetar car ferry crosses in 50 minutes and costs far less, so the aeroplane is for a party that wants to land at the island airport and skip the harbour. Zadar is 56 nautical miles and Mostar 72, both about 35 minutes in the air; Dubrovnik, at 109, is about 45 minutes and spares you a long coast road. Hvar and Vis have no runway for a jet, so the last stretch to them is by sea or by helicopter, and the next section deals with both.
Before you accept a Croatian onward quote
– Which airport at the far end, and what it can do for you. Brač is described as suited to light and midsize jets, Mostar is in Bosnia and Herzegovina and so needs its own landing permission and border formalities, and Hvar's airfield is a short grass strip that jets cannot use;
– Whether the legs are one booking. Split to Brač to Dubrovnik over three days costs noticeably less arranged as a single trip, because the aircraft and crew stay with you instead of returning to base between stops, and the slots at each end can be asked for together.
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 Split:
Light jets, the usual choice for four or five people
At two and a half hours this is the longest light-jet sector we are happy to recommend. Nothing here lacks the range, so the money is better spent on the boat and the hotel than on a larger cabin you will not fill.
Midsize, for dive bags, sailing kit and beach luggage
The hold fills faster than the seats on the Dalmatian run: snorkels and wetsuits, soft sailing bags, a week of linen and evening clothes for the harbour towns.
Super-midsize and large
For a team that wants to work in the air, a party travelling as one group, or a trip that carries on from Split to the Gulf. The 2,550 m runway is long enough for all of these.
Turboprops
The right aircraft for the hops along the coast: Brač, Zadar, Mostar and Dubrovnik are about an hour or less in the air, and the saving over a jet on those distances is large.
Helicopters
Not for the flight from Britain but for the last stretch: a harbour on Hvar, a beach on Brač or a hotel terrace on Vis. Where a helicopter may land is agreed before the quote, never on the day.
This is a small part of what is available. Split sits at the edge of the Central European fleet, so for a booking in the summer peak an aircraft is often positioned from Zagreb, Venice, Vienna or Munich, and the quote may name one of those cities as the starting point. That is normal for a coastal airport with few based aircraft, and it is frequently where the better price comes from.

Business aviation airports in Split
One airport does the work and a handful of others matter for particular reasons. Which one is right depends on where you are sleeping, not on the aircraft.
| Airport | What it gives you |
|---|---|
| Split, Resnik SPU / LDSP |
The answer for almost every trip to Dalmatia. The airport lies in Kaštela, between Trogir and Split, about 19 km from the centre of Split and about 6 km from Trogir. One runway, 05/23, measures 2,550 m by 45 m with a published strength of PCN 49; the threshold of runway 23 is displaced by 160 m, which leaves 2,390 m for landing, so nothing we send is short of tarmac. Customs, immigration and fuelling are listed as available at any hour, while the aerodrome and its handling keep roughly 06:00 to 22:00 local time |
| Brač BWK / LDSB |
The island alternative, on Brač near Bol, with a 1,760 m asphalt runway, open all year but busy mainly in summer, and able to take aircraft of up to 100 seats by day and night. A broker listing describes it as suited to light and midsize jets, with Euro Jet as handler and hours on request. The island's main ferry port, Supetar, is about 30 km away. Worth a look when Resnik has no parking, or when the whole trip is on the island |
| Dubrovnik DBV / LDDU |
The long-runway alternative for the south: 3,300 m, the longest in the country, about 15.5 km from Dubrovnik and a different corner of the coast from Split. It is the airport to use if the trip is to Dubrovnik itself. One broker describes the coastal airports as strictly slot-coordinated through the peak summer months, so the slot is asked for at the same time as the quote |
| Zadar ZAD / LDZD |
Two runways, 2,500 m and 2,000 m, about 8 km from Zadar and shared with the Croatian Air Force. Prior permission is normally required for flights not already confirmed through schedule coordination. For Split it is a fall-back when the apron at Resnik is full: you land in the north of Dalmatia and the car does the rest |
| Mostar OMO / LQMO |
Not in Croatia but in Bosnia and Herzegovina, with a 2,400 m runway about 7.4 km south-east of Mostar. It serves charters for the pilgrimage to Medjugorje, which is roughly 25 km from Mostar. Outside the EU, so landing permission, customs and passport control are arranged separately |
| Hvar airfield LDSH |
Listed as a short unsealed grass strip that jets cannot use, so Hvar is reached by Split, Brač, the sea or a helicopter, never by a jet of ours |
Four points settle most Split arrivals:
Handling and the terminal
Handling is compulsory at Split. Private arrivals are normally served through the general aviation terminal, with a crew and passenger lounge in the main building, and the industry directories list Euro Jet as the FBO. Listings differ, so we ask the operator which handler it wants and confirm it in writing before the quote. Fuel is Jet A-1, available at any hour.
Hours, slots and parking
Handling runs roughly 06:00 to 22:00 local time; outside those hours a prior permission request goes to the airport and needs the operator's approval. Directories list slots as required, and in the peak months the general aviation apron is short of space and overnight parking can be unavailable, so an aircraft may be sent to an alternate airport such as Zadar and called back for pick-up.
Border and passport
Croatia is in the EU and the Schengen area and Britain is in neither, so you clear the border inside the terminal. British passport holders need no visa for up to 90 days in any 180, with a passport issued less than ten years before arrival and valid three months beyond departure. A first-time visitor may be asked for a photograph and fingerprints at the EU entry system, and the hotel registers your stay with the police within 48 hours.
Car, boat and late nights
Give us the handler as well as the flight, because a driver told only "airport" may wait at the passenger terminal. In the peak weeks allow extra time on the road between Resnik and Split, and plan a late departure with the car and the boat in the same message. In strong north-easterly wind, the bura, the approach to runway 05 can be gusty and turbulent.
Border, passport and the road to Bosnia
Medjugorje and Mostar are the exception to the rule that the border is crossed once. Bosnia and Herzegovina is outside the EU, so a car from Split meets a second border check on the way, and the airport at Mostar needs its own formalities. British citizens may enter Bosnia for up to 90 days in any six months, with a passport valid for at least 90 days beyond departure, and foreigners must register with the police within 72 hours, which hotels usually do. For the flight home, the General Aviation Report for Britain is filed not earlier than 48 hours and not later than 2 hours before departure, and any passenger who needs an Electronic Travel Authorisation for the UK must hold it before boarding.
From the apron to Diocletian's Palace
Split is a city built inside a Roman emperor's retirement palace, and you reach it from the airport in less time than it takes to read a briefing. The old town is a walk, the harbour is the starting point for everything that floats, and the distances that matter are the ones that run outward: to Trogir, to the islands, to Krka and over the mountains into Bosnia.

about 185 km, with a border crossing into Bosnia and Herzegovina on the wayhalf a day with the border
Flying to Split with a dog or a cat
Croatia asks for more paperwork than the flight takes time, and the flight is long enough for a dog to settle and sleep. The animal sits beside you in the cabin, never in a hold. The detail that goes wrong is the date on the health certificate, which is valid for only ten days for entry to the EU.
What Croatia asks for when a pet arrives from Britain:
- An ISO microchip, fitted before the rabies vaccination or at the same time;
- A rabies vaccination given when the animal was at least 12 weeks old, with 21 days elapsed 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;
- No more than five animals per traveller, presented at a designated point of entry: Croatia lists airports among them, and up to five pets are checked by Customs officers;
- 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.
What catches owners out on the Split run
– Croatia asks for no tapeworm treatment on the way in. Britain asks for it on the way home, so it is a vet appointment you book in Split or Trogir towards the end of the stay, and a flight that moves by a day can move the 24 to 120 hour window out of reach;
– The type of dog matters. Croatia does not allow pit bull type terriers that are not registered with the FCI, nor their crossbreeds, and some other listed breeds must be leashed and muzzled in public places, so we ask for the breed on the booking form, not at the terminal;
– A July week with a dog is an ordinary booking, but a hotel, a boat and a helicopter each have to accept the animal separately. Settle all three before the quote, because boat owners and helicopter operators each set their own rules.
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 Split calendar: a coast that lives by the season
Split is two different airports in one year. From October to March it is a quiet regional field; from May to September it is the second busiest airport in Croatia, with the busiest weekend days bringing more than 200 flights and about 50,000 passengers. Knowing which week you want matters more than choosing an aircraft.
Why a July weekend costs more
Not the flying. The European light and midsize fleet is large and Split is reachable from every part of it. What gets tight is the general aviation apron at Resnik, the slot at either end, the harbour berth and the car, all in the same days. A booking made two weeks before a festival weekend or the August peak can still be done, but it may mean an aircraft positioned from Zagreb, Venice or Vienna, and that costs more. The same booking made five or six weeks earlier is simpler and cheaper. Outside June to September, Split is one of the easier coastal airports to fly into, and a charter can usually be arranged in a day or two.
Ways to bring the Split price down
- Move the dates out of July and August where you can. The same coast in the second half of September is warm, quiet and cheaper to reach;
- Ask where the aircraft is based. A jet that already sits in Zagreb, Venice or Vienna takes less positioning than one coming from Britain, and on a sector of this length positioning is a meaningful part of the bill;
- Compare the airports. On the same light jet from Biggin Hill, Zadar is priced about £650 lower than Split and Dubrovnik about £1,250 higher, Brač about £250 higher. The saving at Zadar is real but you then drive, so let the place you are sleeping decide.
Types of flights
Split produces a different mix from the city or business destinations we cover, because it is a gateway: most clients land here to be somewhere else within the hour.
- Yacht and sailing parties, flying in for a charter handover or to join a boat in Split or Trogir, usually with soft bags and a firm departure date;
- Island weekends on Hvar, Brač and Vis, with a helicopter or a boat for the last stretch and the jet waiting on the apron or going home empty;
- Festival and event travel in July and August, from the music weekends to the opera nights at the Peristyle;
- Pilgrimage travel to Medjugorje, flown to Mostar or Split, often by a small family or parish group rather than a large charter;
- Excursions to the mainland, to Trogir, to Krka and the waterfalls near Skradin, and to the interior;
- Hops along the coast and over to Dubrovnik, Zadar and Zagreb, often tied in with a Split stop.
The day trip is the one to look at closely. Land a little after half past ten, leave at five in the afternoon local time and you are back on the British side before half past six UK time, with six 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 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. On the Split route they follow the rhythm of the season, and it helps to know what produces them.
Where Split empty legs come from
– Summer weekends. Aircraft that bring a party to the coast on the Friday often leave empty on the Sunday, and the evening leg to the London area is the one most often offered;
– The start and the end of the season. In spring and autumn operators move aircraft between Britain and the Adriatic, and a one-way repositioning flight can appear on either side of a charter week;
– Festival and event weeks. A large group arrives on several aircraft and the aircraft leave empty a day or two later, which produces outbound legs to Zagreb, Venice, Vienna and further north.
Because the Split corridor is thinner in autumn and winter than in the peak, 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 Split match the day an operator releases it.
Helicopter charter
Along this coast a helicopter and a boat compete for the same job, which is the last stretch from the airport to somewhere with no runway. Hvar, Vis and most of the Brač beaches are islands, the ferries run to a timetable, and the places where rotary flight changes the day are the islands, the hotel terraces above the harbours and the trips into Krka and the hinterland.

23 nm across the water to the south coast of Brač, against a ferry to Supetar and a road across the islandabout 20 minutes
29 nm out to the island of Vis, against 1 hour 10 minutes on the fastest catamaranabout 25 minutes
Trogir, the Kaštela castles and Diocletian's Palace from the airtypically 30 minutes
Before you plan around a helicopter
– A helicopter cannot land wherever it likes. A landing away from an aerodrome needs an agreed site and the landowner's consent, so we check the status of a hotel terrace or a harbour pad before the quote is written, not after it. Brač Airport has served as a helicopter base, but the right pad depends on the hotel;
– Weather sets the schedule. The bura and the summer afternoon wind can stop a helicopter on a day when the jet lands without trouble, so an island transfer needs a boat or road alternative planned into the same day;
– The sea is the other answer. A private speedboat from the Split quay reaches Hvar in as little as an hour, and the catamarans and car ferries run to published timetables, so we price the helicopter against the boat and let you choose.
The machines on this ground are the Airbus H125 for coastal and island work, the wider H130 for villa and harbour 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.

Split charters from the booking notes: six typical trips
What the corridor looks like once a quote turns into a flight. Six typical jobs of the kind that come through our booking notes, described in outline, with the particulars changed.
YACHT HANDOVER · SOFT BAGS AND A FIXED DATE
Eight people to join a boat in Trogir
Southampton - Split, Citation XLS+, about 2 h 25 min · 8 pax
The handover was set by the charter company and not by the client. Eight people, sailing bags, a case of provisions and a request for a driver to take the party straight from the aircraft to the marina. The booking went in six weeks ahead, the slot was requested with the quote, and the crew went home with the aircraft rather than waiting.
ISLAND WEEKEND · THE LAST STRETCH BY AIR
Six people to Hvar by jet and helicopter
London Luton - Split, Citation XLS+, about 2 h 20 min · 6 pax
Hvar has no runway for a jet, so the party landed at Resnik and flew on by helicopter, about twenty minutes against the best part of an hour on the water. The helicopter and the jet were booked together, the landing site at the hotel was agreed before the quote, and a boat was held as the fallback for the afternoon wind.
PILGRIMAGE · THE OTHER AIRPORT WON
A family group for Medjugorje
Birmingham - Mostar, Latitude, about 2 h 35 min · 8 pax
They asked for Split because it is the name everyone knows. Medjugorje is about 25 km from Mostar and about 185 km from Split by road with a border in between, so we quoted Mostar, arranged landing permission and passport control for a Bosnian arrival, and saved the party most of a day on the road each way.
FESTIVAL WEEKEND · THE APRON SET THE TERMS
Six friends for a July music weekend
Farnborough - Split, Phenom 300E, about 2 h 15 min · 6 pax
Everyone wanted the same weekend, so the slot request went in with the first message and the aircraft, parked at Zadar for the stay, came back to Split for the pick-up. Cars and rooms were the other half of the booking, and the client was told about all three at once.
A JUNE WEEK · A DOG ON BOARD
Four adults and a labrador on the Dalmatian coast
Southampton - Split, Citation XLS+, about 2 h 25 min · 4 pax + dog
The Animal Health Certificate had to be dated inside ten days of arrival, and the vet appointment in Split for the tapeworm treatment had to fall between 24 and 120 hours before the flight home. We booked both with the aircraft, the hotel took the dog, and the whole thing was settled in a single exchange of messages rather than three.
EMPTY LEG · SUNDAY EVENING WEST
A jet already going your way
Split - London Luton, Phenom 300E empty leg, about 2 h 15 min · 3 pax
The aircraft had brought a party in for the weekend and was going home empty. The client gave us a three-day window instead of a date, which is what makes these work, and paid well below a fresh one-way charter for a Sunday evening departure to the London fields.
Frequently asked questions about flying to Split
1How long is a private jet flight from London to Split?
About 2 hours 25 minutes from London City and Biggin Hill in a light jet, and around 2 hours 15 minutes from Luton or Farnborough in a Phenom, covering roughly 839 to 865 nautical miles. From Birmingham, Manchester or Bristol allow about 2 hours 30 minutes to 2 hours 35 minutes, and from Edinburgh or Glasgow around 2 hours 50 minutes. Croatia is one hour ahead of Britain, so a seven o'clock departure lands at about half past ten local time.
2How much does a private jet to Split cost?
From about £11,500 one way on a light jet out of Biggin Hill, £11,550 from London City, and £11,800 to £11,850 in a Phenom from Luton or Farnborough. A midsize cabin runs £14,800 to £15,650 from the south and Midlands, and from Scotland allow £22,400 to £22,850. July and August, the festival weeks and the sailing weekends can price above these figures.
3Which airport should a private jet use for Split?
Split Airport at Resnik (SPU / LDSP) for almost every trip. It is about 19 km from the centre, has a 2,550 m runway and lists customs and immigration at any hour, with handling compulsory and roughly 06:00 to 22:00 local time. Brač (BWK / LDSB) is the island alternative with a 1,760 m runway, Zadar and Dubrovnik are fall-backs, and Mostar (OMO / LQMO) is for Medjugorje. On the same light jet from Biggin Hill, Zadar is priced about £650 lower than Split.
4Do I need a visa or customs clearance for Split?
Britain is outside the EU and Schengen and Croatia is inside both, so you clear passport control and customs on arrival, inside the airport. British passport holders need no visa for up to 90 days in any 180, with a passport issued less than ten years before arrival and valid for three months beyond departure. A first-time visitor may be asked to register a photograph and fingerprints, and your hotel registers your stay with the police. The operator and our team handle the aircraft paperwork, including landing permission where it applies.
5Can I fly on from Split to Hvar, Brač, Vis or Medjugorje?
Hvar and Vis have no runway for a jet, so the last stretch is by helicopter, about 20 to 25 minutes from Split Airport, or by sea: a catamaran to Hvar takes 50 to 80 minutes and to Vis about 1 hour 10 minutes. Brač has an airport, 23 nautical miles from Split and about 25 minutes in a Pilatus PC-12. For Medjugorje fly to Mostar, 72 nautical miles and about 35 minutes, because the road from Split is about 185 km and crosses into Bosnia and Herzegovina.
6Can I take my dog to Split on a private jet?
Yes. The dog travels in the cabin with you, and Croatia asks for a microchip fitted before or with the rabies vaccination, a vaccination given at 12 weeks or older and at least 21 days old, and an Animal Health Certificate valid for ten days for entry. A British pet passport cannot be used, and pit bull type terriers not registered with the FCI are not allowed. Croatia asks for no tapeworm treatment on arrival, but a dog needs one from a vet between 24 and 120 hours before arriving back in Britain. Cats are exempt from the treatment.
