Private jet charter in Tampere

A London field and Tampere are a little over 1,000 nautical miles apart, which puts a light jet on the ground in about two and a half hours and leaves the day for whatever the trip is really about: a meeting at one of the factories around the city, a hockey night at the Nokia Arena, a weekend at Särkänniemi with the children, a sauna on the lakeshore. Private Jets UK arranges the charter around that purpose. 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. Tampere-Pirkkala has one 2,700 m runway, no hangar for visiting aircraft and four handling companies on its published list, so the choices that matter are the handler, the winter plan and, if a dog or a cat is travelling, the airport where the animal is cleared.

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 Tampere 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 Tampere?

Allow between about 2 hours 25 minutes and 2 hours 55 minutes, depending on where in Britain you start, and put your watch two hours forward on landing: Finland keeps Eastern European time and changes its clocks on the same dates as Britain. The sectors in the table run from 914 to 1,109 nautical miles, which is comfortable for a light jet and a long way inside the range of anything larger. That makes Tampere one of the Nordic sectors where the smaller cabin is a genuine option rather than a compromise, and the table shows the sector from each British field we use.

Private jet flights from Tampere

A Tampere trip is usually a round trip to Britain or Central Europe, but the same aircraft can also work the north and the Baltic. Helsinki is a short hop, Stockholm, Tallinn and Riga are an hour or less in a light jet, and Lapland is just over an hour away for a party that wants to ski or see the aurora after the meetings are done. 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.

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 Tampere:

This is a small part of what is available. Tampere is a regional airfield and not a business jet hub, so an aircraft is more often found in Helsinki or Stockholm than on the apron next door, and the cost of positioning from there is a visible part of some quotes. That is why the date you choose and the aircraft base matter more here than the model.

Business aviation airports in Tampere

One airport does the work for the city. The others on this list matter as a back-up, for a trip whose real destination is elsewhere in southern Finland, or because a quote names them and you should know why.

Four points settle most Tampere arrivals:

Border, passport and the way home

Because Finland is inside Schengen, the first landing is where the formalities happen, and everything after that, a hop to Helsinki or a drive to Mänttä, is free of border control. A first landing at Tampere is possible, because the airport is on the Finnish border crossing list, and that saves a stop for passengers; it is for animals that the picture changes, as the pets section below explains. A foreign operator's commercial charter that carries passengers in and out of Finland needs permission from the Finnish transport agency, requested at least 48 hours ahead and not counting weekends and public holidays, while a non-commercial private flight needs no such permission, only the flight plan and passenger details. We check which category your booking falls into when we confirm the operator. 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. You declare anything that may be prohibited or subject to duty, since the EU ban on bringing meat, milk and products containing them applies to what you carry into Finland.

From the apron to the lakes

Tampere is the third-largest city in Finland, with about 260,000 residents, and the most populous inland city in the Nordic countries. It stands on the isthmus between Näsijärvi and Pyhäjärvi, two lakes whose levels differ by 18 metres and which are joined by the Tammerkoski rapids, the rapids on which the Finlayson textile mill and, later, the pulp mill from which Nokia grew were built. The city is the capital of Pirkanmaa, a region of more than half a million people. Industry provides over half of the region's exports and jobs, and Business Tampere puts 80 per cent of Finnish industry within two hours of the city, which explains why so many private flights here are business trips. The rest is a long list of reasons to stay for the weekend.

Särkänniemi, on a peninsula about a kilometre from the centre, holds an amusement park, an aquarium, a planetarium, a children's zoo, the Sara Hildén Art Museum and the Näsinneula tower, which is 168 metres high. Tampere Hall, about half a kilometre from the railway station, is described as the largest congress centre in the Nordic countries and is the home of the city's opera and philharmonic orchestra; the Moomin Museum is in the same complex. Nokia Arena stands close to the station on a deck built over the railway line, and next to it is the Lapland Hotels Arena. Tampere also claims the largest number of public saunas in Finland, among them the oldest one still in use, Rajaportti, in the workers' district of Pispala, and the sauna at Kaupinoja, on the shore of Näsijärvi.

Flying to Tampere with a dog or a cat

For a pet the paperwork is the part of a Finnish trip that needs planning. The flight is the easy bit: the animal sits beside you in the cabin, never in a hold. Finland adds a fixed airport for the animal check, and the dates on the certificate need the same care.

What Finland, as an EU country, asks for:

• An ISO microchip (standard 11784, FDX-B or HDX) that can be read with a standard scanner, fitted before the rabies vaccination;
• A rabies vaccination given when the animal was at least 12 weeks old, with the 21-day wait observed after the first vaccination and the vaccination still valid on the day of entry;
• An Animal Health Certificate issued by an official veterinarian, valid for ten days for entry to the EU and for the return to Britain as stated on the certificate, together with the owner's declaration that the journey is not commercial. 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 Tampere-Pirkkala 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 Tampere as a domestic leg;
• A tapeworm treatment for dogs, given by a vet between 24 and 120 hours before the dog arrives in Finland and recorded on the certificate. Cats do not need it. A dog flying directly home from Finland to Britain needs no further treatment, which is required only if it 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 Tampere calendar: from the hockey season to the Christmas market

Tampere is a working city with a steady stream of congresses, matches and festivals, so there is no dead season, and the weeks that need planning ahead are the ones tied to a fixture or a market. Knowing which one you are flying into matters more than the choice of aircraft.

Ways to bring the Tampere price down

• Shift the dates if the diary allows. A midweek flight in January, or a weekend outside the play-offs and the Christmas market, costs less than the dates everybody wants, and Tampere has plenty to do on a quiet date;
• Ask where the aircraft is based. A jet that already sits in Helsinki or Stockholm costs less to bring to Tampere than one flown out from Britain, and a jet that is going home to Helsinki or Stockholm after your flight is the natural candidate for a cheaper leg back;
• Do not pay for waiting. A jet that stays at Tampere for a week is parked outside with no hangar, and the standing time is charged. For a stay of more than a couple of days, ask for a quote for a drop-off and a separate pick-up as well, and compare;
• Take the light jet when the party and the bags are small. Two people with cabin bags save real money in a Phenom on a sector of two and a half hours; six people with laptops and presentation cases do not, and the quote that looks cheap on paper is often the one that changes.

Types of flights

Tampere produces a mix of its own, because the same runway serves a factory visit, a hockey night and a family weekend.

• Business trips to the industrial and technology companies of Pirkanmaa, usually two to six people, often with a meeting at Tampere Hall or at a university;
• Congress and delegation travel, where the date is fixed by the programme and the car is booked for the handler's door;
• Hockey nights and concert weekends at the Nokia Arena, with a fixed date, a small group and a request for a hotel close to the arena;
• Family weekends built around Särkänniemi, the Moomin Museum, a lakeshore sauna and the Pyynikki ridge;
• Christmas market weekends in the last week of November and December, mostly couples and small groups;
• Combined trips that add Helsinki, Tallinn, Stockholm or Lapland to Tampere in one itinerary.

Tampere is possible as a day trip, but it is a long day. Leave a London field at seven, land at about half past eleven local time, and you have the afternoon on the ground; to be back in London at about half past five in the evening the aircraft leaves Tampere at five local time. Most clients prefer to stay one night, with the crew waiting at the airport or, if the aircraft goes home empty and returns for you, with a pair of positioning legs on the invoice. We price both ways so you can compare.

Empty Legs

Some jets fly to or from Finland with nobody aboard, moving to their next job, and the operator will sell that seat-free leg cheaply rather than fly it for nothing. That is an empty leg. On the Tampere route the supply follows the business calendar and the hockey season.

Because the Finnish 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 Tampere match the day an operator releases it.

Helicopter charter

A helicopter in Tampere is a tool for the edges of a trip. The centre is a short drive from the airport, so the aircraft does not save much time there; what it changes is the landing site. The places where rotary flight earns its fee are a transfer to a hotel or a company site outside the city, a day in Helsinki or Mänttä, and a flight over the two lakes and the Pyynikki ridge at the right hour.

The machines used on this ground are the Airbus H125 for short scenic work, the wider H130 for hotel and site 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. The figures above use a straight-line distance at a cruise of about 115 knots, and the final time is confirmed with the operator.

Flight payment options
