Private jet charter in Strasbourg

A jet that leaves the London fields after breakfast can be on the ground at Strasbourg before the morning is over, ten kilometres from the cathedral, and that proximity is the reason this page treats the city's own airport as the destination and not as a fallback. Private Jets UK builds the charter around the calendar of the place. 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. Strasbourg-Entzheim has a 2,400 m runway, a customs and immigration office, a general aviation terminal and a compulsory handling agent, so the airport rarely decides the trip. The dates do: the weeks when the European Parliament sits and the weeks of the Christmas market take the hotels, the cars and the good tables long before they take the aircraft.

 

 

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 Strasbourg 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 to Strasbourg-Entzheim, 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 Strasbourg?

About an hour and ten minutes from Biggin Hill in a light jet and a little under two hours from Edinburgh, and the clock on arrival reads one hour ahead of Britain, because France keeps Central European time. Strasbourg is an easy city to fly into: the aircraft stops ten kilometres from the old town, not at a field an hour's drive away. From the British fields we use it is 351 to 648 nautical miles, which means a light jet from the south of England and a super-midsize from Scotland. The table gives the sector from each field.

 

 

 

Prices for the private jet flights to Strasbourg

Typical trips from Britain, cheapest first, all of them priced to Strasbourg-Entzheim with the handler included in the plan. The weeks of the European Parliament and the Christmas market can price above these figures, and the calendar block further down explains when.

The same Biggin Hill departure in a Citation CJ3+, priced to the five airfields that can serve Strasbourg, one way:

The flight price separates the options less than it seems. Saarbrücken is nearer to London, 312 nautical miles against 351, and the ticket is lower, but the drive to Strasbourg takes about an hour and forty minutes, and Colmar-Houssen and Karlsruhe/Baden-Baden are a few miles farther in the air and still leave a drive of 53 to 68 km. A charter to Strasbourg is therefore decided by road time and by what the airfield can do at the hour you land. The airports section below sets out which one fits which trip.

 

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 Strasbourg

Strasbourg sits where France, Germany and Switzerland meet, so a flight out of it goes in every direction at short range. Zurich is under an hour away in a turboprop, Brussels and Luxembourg are the institutional neighbours, Paris is a light-jet hour, and the Riviera and the Gulf are the longer sectors. Airline flights to Paris from the airport ended when the TGV took the traffic, so a private flight to Le Bourget is now the air route on that sector for those who want it. 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.

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 Strasbourg:

 

 

 

This is a small part of what is available. Light and midsize jets based at Zurich, Basel and Frankfurt are typically within an hour of Strasbourg, so an aircraft is often close at hand, and outside the Parliament and Christmas weeks that is frequently where the better price comes from.

Business aviation airports for Strasbourg

One airport serves Strasbourg properly and four others serve it in particular circumstances. Which of them is right depends on the hour of the day, the size of the aircraft and whether the programme stays in Alsace or reaches across the Rhine.

 

Four things to settle before a Strasbourg landing:

 

 

Hours, night rules and customs at Strasbourg-Entzheim

Air traffic control at Strasbourg runs round the clock, and the hours that matter to a private jet are the narrower ones around it. The French aeronautical publication gives times in UTC, and in summer they are one hour earlier. France is one hour ahead of UTC in winter and two in summer, so on the clock in Strasbourg the airfield is the same all year: customs and immigration from 06:00 to 23:00 with 24 hours' notice requested outside them, and the general aviation terminal from 06:00 to 22:00. Fuel is supplied by Shell Aviation from about 05:30 to 22:30 local time from Sunday to Friday and until 21:30 on Saturday. Outside those hours it is available on call for a fixed fee, but the airport limits that service to scheduled or delayed airline flights, State flights and air ambulances, so a business jet should not plan on it.

The night rules are separate. For aircraft that meet the noise standard, take-offs are prohibited from 23:30 to 06:00 local time and landings from 00:00 to 06:00. Exemptions exist for emergencies, weather diversions, State and security flights, medical flights and humanitarian flights, and late arrivals of scheduled passenger flights are judged by the airport operator, but a private party should treat the rules as firm. A booking that would land close to midnight is not a Strasbourg booking, and we bring the departure forward. Engine tests are barred from 22:00 to 06:00 local time, and an auxiliary power unit may run for only 60 minutes before departure and 20 minutes after arrival.

 

Border, customs and the General Aviation Report

Passports and customs are dealt with at the airport itself, and the handler arranges the formalities so that the party does not queue in the airline terminal. Strasbourg is in Schengen, and so are Germany and Switzerland, which means that a drive across the Rhine at Kehl or on to Basel brings no passport check on a normal day, although the Schengen states can reintroduce controls for a limited time and a passport should always be in the pocket. Customs is another matter: declare watches, art and anything of value, and ask us about the wine and the foie gras for the flight home, since UK allowances apply to what you bring back.

For the return, the General Aviation Report for Britain is filed not earlier than 48 hours and not later than 2 hours before departure. We prepare it with the flight plan and confirm in writing the handler and the authority for the sector. A British charter operator can also need a permit from the French aviation authority for the route, and we track that with the aircraft paperwork before the quote leaves us.

 

 

From the apron to the Grande Ile

Strasbourg has about 294,000 inhabitants and around 875,000 in the metropolitan area, and it lies on the Ill, about four kilometres from the Rhine, which forms the border with Germany. The historic centre is an island, the Grande Ile, small enough to walk across in half an hour and joined to the rest of the city by 21 bridges and footbridges. The distances below are by road from the city unless they say otherwise, and the road times are our planning figures for an ordinary day.

 

A day in Strasbourg, the Grande Ile and the Neustadt

Strasbourg's centre is on the UNESCO list in two parts: the Grande Ile, which was inscribed first, and the Neustadt, the German-built district around it, which was added to the listing later. The island is the part that visitors come for, and it works on foot. The Cathedral of Notre-Dame is the first stop and the one you cannot miss, since its spire rises 142 m. It was the tallest building in the world for more than two centuries, building work stretched over four centuries before the tower was completed, and a platform at 66 m looks out over the roofs of the old town. Inside, the astronomical clock built by Jean-Baptiste Schwilgué is a mechanical calendar that also shows the positions of the sun and the moon, and its procession of figures, with the apostles and the cock, runs at 12:30, so a visit is planned around the half hour and the queue that forms before it.

The Petite France quarter is the second stop, the old district of tanners, millers and fishermen on the western end of the island, with timber-framed houses along the canals of the Ill. Next to it stands the Barrage Vauban, the dam and covered passage built in the seventeenth century to flood the land south of the city in a siege, which has a free panoramic terrace over the Ponts Couverts and the quarter below. The Palais Rohan, built in the first half of the eighteenth century to the plans of Robert de Cotte for the prince-bishop Armand Gaston de Rohan, holds three museums: the Archaeological Museum in the basement, the Museum of Decorative Arts on the ground floor and the Museum of Fine Arts above. Marie Antoinette spent her first night on French soil in the palace. The Neustadt is the other side of the story: an eclectic district laid out when the city was the capital of the German imperial territory of Alsace-Lorraine, with the Palais du Rhin and the Place de la République, the former Place Impériale, and the church of Saint-Paul with its neo-Gothic spires.

 

The institutions, and what the plenary weeks do to the booking

Strasbourg is the seat of the Council of Europe, which has been based there since its foundation, and of the European Court of Human Rights, whose building in the Robertsau district opened in the middle of the 1990s. It is also the official seat of the European Parliament, which holds twelve four-day plenary sessions a year in the Louise Weiss building, typically from Monday to Thursday, with its committees and shorter sessions mainly in Brussels. The Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe meets in Strasbourg for four one-week sessions a year, in January, April, June and the autumn. The city is also the home of Eurocorps and of the broadcaster Arte.

For a private client this produces a pattern that is easy to forecast and harder to beat. During a plenary week the city fills with members, assistants, lobbyists and journalists, the hotels in the old town and around the European quarter go first, the good tables fill, and cars become hard to find at short notice. The aircraft is rarely the constraint; the ground is. The plenary calendar is published by the Parliament, and we check the dates against your plan before we confirm, so that a client who wants quiet streets can choose a week without a session and a client who needs to be among the delegations can book early.

 

Winstubs and the Alsatian table

A winstub is a traditional Alsatian tavern, and Strasbourg has many of them in the old streets, so a lunch in one is the best way to spend the hour after the museum. The menu is the cooking of the whole region. Choucroute garnie is the symbol of Alsace, sauerkraut layered with salt and juniper and served with pork, sausages and potatoes. Baeckeoffe is the slow dish, potatoes, vegetables and three meats baked for hours in a covered terrine with Alsace white wine. Flammekueche, the tarte flambée, is a thin crust with fromage blanc, crème fraîche, bacon and onions, and it is shared at the table in the evening. Foie gras is the starter, usually with a late-harvest white wine, and kougelhopf, the yeast cake baked in a fluted mould, is the thing to take home because it travels.

For a long table there is the Maison Kammerzell, in the half-timbered house on the cathedral square that dates from the fifteenth century and has served as a restaurant since the nineteenth century, where the choucroute and the duck foie gras are on the menu in a dining room that is a sight in itself. Beyond the old town the wine begins. The Alsace Wine Route runs for about 170 km through some 70 communes at the foot of the Vosges, and about 90 per cent of the region's wine is white, with Riesling and Gewurztraminer leading and Crémant d'Alsace as the sparkling wine. We book a table in a winstub in the same message as the car, because the best ones are small and the tables go first in the weeks of the Christmas market and the Parliament.

 

The wine route, the castles and the roads across the Rhine

Strasbourg is a good base for a day on the wine route, because the northern end of the route is a short drive away and the villages get smaller and prettier as you go south. Obernai, just over 25 km from the city, is the first stop: a town of about 12,000 people with a clock tower, a Wheat Market, a six-bucket well from the sixteenth century and the birthplace of Saint Odile, the patron saint of Alsace. Mont Sainte-Odile, the hill associated with her, is about 43 km from Strasbourg. Further south the Haut-Koenigsbourg castle, about 62 km away on a spur above the plain, was burned during the Thirty Years War, left in ruins and rebuilt in the first years of the twentieth century for the German emperor Wilhelm II, and it receives more than half a million visitors a year. Riquewihr, just under 70 km from Strasbourg, is a village of fewer than a thousand residents inside its medieval walls, a member of the association of the most beautiful villages of France, known for Riesling and busy in the weeks of the Christmas markets.

The other direction is Germany. Kehl lies directly opposite Strasbourg on the far bank of the Rhine, and tram line D runs over the river to it, about a quarter of an hour from the centre of the city, so a lunch in Germany is as easy as a walk to the tram. From Kehl a regional train reaches Baden-Baden in about half an hour, and the Black Forest begins beyond the Rhine plain. Europa-Park at Rust, an amusement park with more than five million visitors a year, is 64 km from Strasbourg airport and a little over an hour away by road, which makes it a realistic day trip for a family that lands in the morning. A Black Forest programme from Strasbourg is a car and not a second flight, and for a party that wants to land closer we price Karlsruhe/Baden-Baden at £5,900 from Biggin Hill, and Strasbourg itself at £5,800.

 

Flying to Strasbourg with a dog or a cat

For a pet the paperwork is the part of a Strasbourg trip that needs planning, and the flight is the easy bit: the animal sits beside you in the cabin, never in a hold, and on a sector of an hour and ten minutes most simply sleep. The date on the health certificate is the detail that goes wrong, because the certificate for entry to the EU is valid for only ten days.

 

 

France applies the EU rules to a pet that arrives from Britain. What the French authorities ask:

• An ISO microchip, fitted before or at the same time as the rabies vaccination;
• A rabies vaccination given when the animal was at least 12 weeks old, with 21 days elapsed before entry. No blood test is needed for an animal travelling from Great Britain;
• 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. The animal is shown to customs on arrival, and we confirm in writing the airport and the entry point for the animal;
• A dog must have at least one adult tooth. Dogs of the type that France places in category 1 (attack-type dogs without a stud book registration) cannot be imported, and category 2 dogs may enter only if they are registered in a stud book;
• 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.

Requirements for cats, ferrets, birds and anything less usual are collected on our flying with pets guide. The certificate is valid for the return as stated on it, and an animal that does not meet the British rules can be placed in quarantine for up to four months. We confirm the entry point and the paperwork for the animal in writing before the flight.

 

The Strasbourg calendar: plenary weeks, wine, harvest and the Christmas market

Strasbourg has no off-season in the way a resort has, because the Parliament sits for four days almost every month, and on top of that sit the seasons of the wine route and the Christmas market, which is the one weeks-long event that moves the whole city. Knowing which week you want matters more than choosing an aircraft.

 

Ways to bring the Strasbourg price down

• Move the dates by a few days where you can. A week without a plenary session, or the days before the markets open, is calmer than the peak days;
• Ask where the aircraft is based. A jet that already sits in Zurich, Basel or Frankfurt takes less positioning than one coming from Britain, and on a sector this short positioning is a meaningful part of the bill;
• Take the light jet unless the luggage says otherwise. Four people and four bags do not need a midsize, and the saving buys a car and a table in a winstub.

 

Types of flights

Strasbourg produces a different mix from a resort or a capital: part political, part business, part pure pleasure, and the three often overlap in the same week.

• Institutional and diplomatic visits, for the Parliament, the Council of Europe and the Court, with officials, delegations and advisers on short notice;
• Business visits in Alsace and across the Rhine, with Strasbourg as the base for the evening;
• Christmas market weekends, small parties who arrive on the Friday and leave on the Sunday, often with a dog;
• Wine and gastronomy trips on the wine route, with an estate visit and a table booked a long time ahead;
• Family trips to Europa-Park, which lies a little over an hour from the airport;
• Onward trips to the Black Forest and Baden-Baden, usually by road across the Rhine at Kehl.

The day trip deserves a look. Touch down a little after nine, be back at the aircraft by five in the afternoon local time and you reach the London fields at about ten past five, UK time, which leaves nearly eight hours in the city, with the airport transfers taking about an hour of that. 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. Strasbourg is a short sector from London, and its empty legs follow the rhythm of the Parliament and the markets, so it helps to know what produces them.

Because the Alsace corridor is 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 Strasbourg match the day an operator releases it.

 

 

Helicopter charter

Around Strasbourg a helicopter is a tool for the ground that a car handles badly: the castles on the Vosges ridge, the crossing of the Rhine into the Black Forest and the transfer from the apron to a place with no road access. The old town and the institutions are close to the airport and a car does the work. The airport keeps stands A29 and A30 for helicopters, and a helicopter landing there is arranged with the handler in advance.

The machines on this ground are the Airbus H125 for the hills, the wider H130 for villa and country-house transfers, the H135 and the Bell 429 where a twin is wanted, and the H155 for larger parties. The short scenic loops from the Neuhof aerodrome are flown in a small Robinson piston helicopter that takes three passengers, which is a different thing from a private charter, and we book the charter helicopters alongside the jet so that both crews work to one timetable.
