Private jet charter in Trondheim

Trondheim is a little over two hours from a London airfield by light jet, and the field that serves it is shared with the Royal Norwegian Air Force. A charter there is shaped by three things: the permission to land, which has to be in place two days ahead, what the weather does between November and March, and what the Norwegian border expects of the passengers, the bags and any animal on board. Private Jets UK arranges the charter around all three. 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. Trondheim is a long light-jet sector with a short list of firm rules. Værnes has one main runway and compulsory handling, business flights need prior permission, Norway sits outside the EU although it is inside Schengen, and a dog has to enter through Oslo, so the decisions that matter are the date, the paperwork and who meets you at the apron.

 

private jet charter

 

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 Trondheim 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 City, 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 Trondheim?

About two to two and a half hours from the London fields we use, with an hour of clock difference to add on arrival, because Norway keeps Central European time. The British fields in the table lie between 561 and 888 nautical miles from Værnes, which makes Trondheim a long light-jet sector rather than a short hop, and is why the choice of cabin below matters. Aberdeen is the closest at 1 hour 45 minutes in the air. The table gives the sector from each British field we use.

Door to door, and the clock on the wall

Take off from London City at seven and you land at Værnes at about twenty past ten local time, since Norway is an hour ahead of Britain. The airport is at Stjørdal, about 32 km by road from the centre of Trondheim, and a car typically needs 35 minutes or so, so a client who left central London soon after six is at a table in the city by eleven. A commuter train covers the same stretch in about 38 minutes. Add the drive to the British airfield and the short processing at both ends, and central London to central Trondheim comes to about five hours, without a terminal queue anywhere in it.

Light jet or midsize: the question that actually comes up on this route

– Up to about four people with ordinary bags, a light jet is the sensible choice: 2 hours 25 minutes in a CJ3+ from Biggin Hill, less from the north. It is a long time in a small cabin, but the saving over a midsize jet is large;

– Six or more people, skis, golf bags or a team with presentation kit are the cases where we quote a midsize jet beside the light one. A Citation XLS+ covers the same sector in 2 hours 15 minutes from Birmingham, with a cabin where people can stand and a hold that takes the luggage;

– A heavy jet is worth it for a large party, for one aircraft that stays with you across several stops in Norway, or when Trondheim is only the first leg of a longer itinerary to the Arctic.

Prices for the private jet flights to Trondheim

Typical trips from Britain, cheapest first, all of them into Trondheim Værnes. The weeks around the St Olav festival at the turn of July and August, the winter weeks with de-icing and the busy cultural weekends can sit above these figures, and the calendar block further down explains when.

Private jet flights from Trondheim

Trondheim sits in the middle of the Norwegian coast, which makes it a good base for both directions. Kristiansund and Ålesund are turboprop hops of under an hour, Oslo takes about an hour, Bergen and Bodø are a little over an hour and a quarter, and Stockholm, Copenhagen and Tromsø are jet sectors. Typical one-way prices:

Norway from the air: where a turboprop beats the road

Kristiansund is 90 nautical miles from Trondheim and Ålesund 147, so a Pilatus PC-12 covers either in under an hour, where the road has to cross fjords and sounds by tunnel and ferry. Oslo is 204 nautical miles away, about an hour in a turboprop. Bodø, at 254, is the first stop in the north, and Tromsø, at 436, is a real jet sector, the one clients choose when the trip carries on to the Arctic. Once the first landing in Norway is done, each of these hops is a domestic flight with no border control.

Before you accept a Norwegian onward quote

– Check the runway at the far end. Røros has 1,720 metres at 626 metres above sea level, and Namsos and Rørvik are listed at 838 and 880 metres. A quote built on a jet that needs more will be revised once the real aircraft is chosen;

– Check whether the legs are one booking. Trondheim, Kristiansund and Oslo over three days cost less as a single trip, because the aircraft and crew stay with you instead of going home between stops;

– If a dog or a cat is aboard, check the order of the stops. The animal has to enter Norway through Oslo, so the first landing is Gardermoen and Trondheim comes second.

 

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:

Turbopropsfrom £850/h
Small jet£1,700 - 2,500/h
Light jet£2,100 - 3,000/h
Medium-sized jet (Citation XLS+, Hawker 800XP)£3,000 - 3,700/h
Large medium-class jet (Challenger 300)£4,600 - 5,500/h
Large jet (Legacy 600)£4,900 - 5,800/h
Long-haul jet (Global 5000, G550, Falcon 7X)£5,800 - 8,800/h
Business linersfrom £10,300/h

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 Trondheim:

 

Light jets, for a long sector in a small cabin

Two hours or a little more from London, so a light cabin is a real commitment. It suits up to four or five people with ordinary luggage, and the saving over a midsize jet shows plainly in the price table.

HondaJet Elite · 5 seatsfrom £1,900/h
Cessna Citation CJ3+ · 7 seatsfrom £2,400/h
Embraer Phenom 300E · 8 seatsfrom £2,600/h
Cessna Citation CJ4 Gen2 · 8 seatsfrom £2,700/h

Midsize, for skis, golf bags and a team's kit

A cabin where you can stand and a hold that takes ski bags, winter clothing and conference kit. For six or more people on this sector it is the better value.

Learjet 75 Liberty · 8 seatsfrom £3,000/h
Cessna Citation XLS+ · 9 seatsfrom £3,100/h
Cessna Citation Latitude · 9 seatsfrom £3,900/h
Embraer Praetor 600 · 9 seatsfrom £3,400/h

Super-midsize and large

For a delegation travelling as one party, for a team that works in the air, and for itineraries that go on from Trondheim to Tromsø or across Scandinavia rather than turning round.

Bombardier Challenger 350 · 9 seatsfrom £4,000/h
Bombardier Challenger 605 · 12 seatsfrom £4,350/h
Dassault Falcon 2000LXS · 10 seatsfrom £4,900/h
Gulfstream G450 · 13 seatsfrom £5,800/h

Turboprops

The right aircraft for the domestic coast: Kristiansund, Ålesund and Oslo are an hour or so in the air, and the shorter runways of the regional fields suit a turboprop better than a jet.

Pilatus PC-12 NGX · 9 seatsfrom £1,400/h
Beechcraft King Air 350 · 9 seatsfrom £1,650/h

Helicopters

Not for the flight from Britain but for the last stretch: the Trondheimsfjord, the island of Hitra and a lodge with no runway. Where a helicopter may land away from an aerodrome is limited, so the site is agreed before the quote.

Airbus H125 · 5 seatson request
Airbus H130 · 6 seatson request
Airbus H135 · 6 seatson request
Bell 429 · 6 seatson request

 

online private jet directory

 

This is a small part of what is available. Trondheim is a long way from the busiest charter bases, so the better price often comes from an aircraft already in Norway or Sweden, positioned from Oslo, Bergen or Stockholm, or one coming home from the north, and we look at those first.

Business aviation airports in Trondheim

One airport does the work, and it comes with a condition to plan around: business flights need prior permission. The others on a quote are smaller fields, one of them military, and one is in Oslo for a reason that has nothing to do with the destination.

Airport What it gives you
Trondheim Airport, Værnes
TRD / ENVA
The answer for every jet trip. The airport is at Stjørdal, about 32 km from the centre by road, with a main runway, 09/27, of 2,996 by 45 metres, grooved, with a Category I precision approach, and air traffic service listed as round the clock. It is an airport of entry with a customs office on site, and it is shared with the Værnes air station of the Royal Norwegian Air Force. Business and general aviation flights need prior permission at least 48 hours ahead and the airport is slot-coordinated
Kristiansund, Kvernberget
KSU / ENKB
A regional airport about 160 km west-south-west of Trondheim in a straight line, with a single runway, 07/25, of 2,393 by 45 metres, de-icing provided by the airport operator and handling by Widerøe Ground Handling or Aviator. A sensible diversion when Værnes is closed by weather, and the destination in its own right for the oil and gas supply business and the clipfish trade of the coast
Ørland
OLA / ENOL
A shared military and civil field about 71 km west-north-west across the fjord, with a runway of 3,278 by 45 metres and the home of the 132 Air Wing of the air force. Prior permission from the air station is required for every aircraft, and the aerodrome information lists no customs service there. A reserve for Værnes and the airport of the Fosen district; with no customs service listed, it is not where we would plan a first landing from Britain
Røros
RRS / ENRO
A regional field about 100 km south of Trondheim in a straight line and 2 km from the World Heritage mining town, with a 1,720 by 40 metre runway at 626 metres above sea level. Handling is compulsory and provided by Røros Flyservice, fuel comes from fixed pumps, and there is no customs service in the listing. A runway of that length suits light jets and turboprops, for a winter weekend in the mountains
Namsos and Rørvik
OSY / ENNM, RVK / ENRM
Two regional airstrips to the north, about 117 and 154 km from Trondheim in a straight line, with runways of 838 and 880 metres. Runways of that size are turboprop territory, and a quote that puts a jet on one of them deserves a second look
Orkanger
no airfield
The industrial town at the head of the Orkdal Fjord, about 42 km south-west of Trondheim on the E39, has no airport of its own. Guests for the industry there fly into Værnes and drive
Oslo Gardermoen
OSL / ENGM
Not an alternative to Trondheim, but a stop that pets make necessary. Animals arriving from outside the EU and the EEA, Britain included, may enter Norway only through Oslo Airport Gardermoen or the Storskog crossing at Kirkenes. Gardermoen is 204 nautical miles from Trondheim, about 50 minutes in a light jet

 

Four points settle most Trondheim arrivals:

Permission before handling

The aerodrome information makes prior permission mandatory for business and general aviation flights, requested from the airport operations centre not later than 48 hours before arrival or departure, and says it must be approved before the handler is contacted. Slots are coordinated by Airport Coordination Norway. Treat two clear working days as the minimum, and a week as the sensible figure for a festival date.

Choose the handler

Listings for Værnes name Sundt Air Executive Handling, Access Oslo Executive Handling and FCG Ops Trondheim Handling, and the airline handlers on the field are Aviator and Widerøe Ground Handling. Handling is compulsory, so the choice is made together with the permission, and we ask the operator which it prefers.

Border and passport

Norway is in Schengen and Britain is not, so passport control comes on arrival. The customs office at the airport keeps weekday hours from 08:00 to 15:30, so an evening or weekend arrival is something we confirm in writing first. British passport holders need no visa for a short visit, with a passport issued less than ten years before entry and valid for three months beyond departure. Norway is not in the EU, so customs apply: goods up to NOK 6,000 (about £450) after more than 24 hours abroad are duty-free, and cash above NOK 25,000 (about £1,900) must be declared.

Winter, wind and the road

De-icing is ordered through the handler before start-up and done on platforms M1A or M1B, so tell us early on a frozen morning. Wind shear is published for the final approach to runway 09 in strong southerly wind and to runway 27 in strong westerly wind. The commuter train takes about 38 minutes to the city and a private party takes a car; give us the handler as well as the flight, so the driver waits at the right door.

 

business aviation

 

Border, passport and the way home

Because Norway is inside Schengen, the first landing is where the formalities happen, and a later hop to Kristiansund or Bodø is a domestic flight with no border control. Norway is not in the EU, however, so the customs side of the arrival is a real one: the quotas for food, alcohol and tobacco apply to everyone entering the country, and the value and cash limits above apply to every member of the party. The way home follows the British rules. The operator files the General Aviation Report with the British border authorities not earlier than 48 hours and not later than two hours before departure, British and Irish citizens need no electronic travel authorisation, and any passenger of another nationality should check whether one is required for the return.

From the apron to Nidaros Cathedral

Trondheim is a compact city on the south shore of the Trondheimsfjord, where the river Nidelva meets the water. Nidaros Cathedral, started in 1070 and the northernmost medieval cathedral in the world, stands in the centre, Rockheim, the national museum of popular music, sits on the pier, and the Hurtigruten coastal express calls every morning, southbound and northbound. The distances that matter run outward, along the coast and into the interior.

about 32 km by road, with a commuter train of about 38 minutes as the public option and a car for everyone else
typically 35 minutes
Trondheim to Orkanger by road

about 1 h 20 min

 

Flying to Trondheim with a dog or a cat

Norway asks more of a pet than most of Europe, because it sits outside the EU and keeps its own rules, and one of those rules decides the route of the whole flight: an animal arriving from Britain must come in through Oslo. The animal still travels beside you in the cabin, never in a hold. From Oslo the aircraft flies on to Trondheim as a domestic leg of about 50 minutes in a light jet.

 

private flight with animals

 

What Norway asks for:

  • An ISO microchip, fitted before the rabies vaccination and not after it;
  • A rabies vaccination given when the animal was at least 12 weeks old, valid from 21 days after the primary vaccination is completed;
  • A health certificate from an official veterinarian, following the EU model for animals from third countries, for each trip;
  • For dogs, a tapeworm treatment with praziquantel or an equivalent product, given by a vet 24 to 120 hours before entering Norway and recorded in the certificate. Cats and ferrets are exempt;
  • A rabies antibody blood test, unless the country of departure is treated as a listed country; the Norwegian Food Safety Authority, Mattilsynet, confirms the position for your dates and we put it in writing;
  • Notice to Mattilsynet at least 48 hours before arrival, and entry through Oslo Airport Gardermoen or Storskog, with no other crossing allowed;
  • No more than five animals on a non-commercial trip.

What catches owners out on the Trondheim run

– The first landing is Oslo. Trondheim cannot be the point of entry for an animal from Britain, so the aircraft lands at Gardermoen first, the animal and its papers are presented there, and the flight carries on to Værnes on a domestic leg of 204 nautical miles. Værnes also needs its prior permission in the usual 48 hours, so the two stops have to be planned together and priced from the start;

– The tapeworm treatment is needed once, for the way in. Norway wants it 24 to 120 hours before entry, so a dog sees a vet in Britain before leaving, and a direct flight home from Norway needs no second treatment unless the dog has been in another country or the routing includes one;

– A dog in a cold month is an ordinary booking. Settle the hotel, the car and any helicopter before the quote, because each one has to accept the animal separately, and ask the handler about the apron on a frozen morning.

Requirements for cats, ferrets, birds and anything less usual are collected on our flying with pets guide. For the flight home, a dog flying directly from Norway to Britain needs no tapeworm treatment; it is needed only if the dog has been elsewhere or the routing includes another country, and we confirm the entry point, the routing and the paperwork for the animal in writing before the flight.

 

The Trondheim calendar: a saint, a student city and a very long winter night

The year here swings between extremes. At midsummer the sun rises at about three in the morning and sets near midnight, and at midwinter it is up for about four and a half hours. Add a pilgrim festival at the end of July and a university with about 36,000 students, and the calendar has a clear shape.

January
Trondheim Calling, a showcase of local bands on a number of stages around the city, falls in late January. The days are short, the sun is up from about ten to half past two at midwinter, and winter operations matter: this is the month to ask about de-icing
March
The Kosmorama international film festival takes place in the first half of March. Cultural rather than corporate, with modest demand for charters
Early May
The Trondheim Jazz Festival runs for about five days in the first half of May. A leisure draw for city-break weekends
June and July
These are the weeks of the longest light and the best time for the fjord, the island of Hitra and the coast. Book helicopter and lodge together with the jet
End of July to early August
The St Olav Festival, Olavsfest, runs from about 28 July to 3 August around Nidaros Cathedral, with the night vigil at the cathedral on 29 July. Pilgrims, concerts, a market and a large family programme fill the centre. This is the busiest cultural week of the year, and the one for which we ask clients to book early
August
The Trøndelag Food Festival comes in the first half of the month, and Pstereo, a music festival by the river in the shadow of the cathedral, follows later in August. Weekend demand from music and food travellers
September
The Trondheim Chamber Music Festival runs for about a week in September, with the Transform world festival at roughly the same time
November to March
Moderate snowfall, often mixed with rain, with a mean temperature near minus one degree in January. Aircraft are de-iced on platforms M1A or M1B at the handler's request, and a morning departure can take longer than the summer timetable suggests

Why the St Olav week costs more

Not the flying. The Scandinavian light and midsize fleet is large and Trondheim sits in the middle of the coast. What gets tight is the prior permission and the slot at Værnes, the handlers' apron, and the good rooms and cars in a compact city, all in the same days. A booking made a fortnight before the festival can still be done, but it pays more, and it may mean an aircraft positioned from Oslo or Bergen. The same booking made five or six weeks earlier is simpler and cheaper. Outside those days Trondheim is an easy city to fly into, once the 48-hour permission is in place, and a charter can usually be arranged in a few days.

 

Ways to bring the Trondheim price down

  • Shift the dates by a few days where the diary allows. The week after the festival is calmer, and so are the weeks outside the summer and the Christmas season;
  • Ask where the aircraft is based. A jet already in Oslo, Bergen or Stockholm needs less positioning than one coming from the south of England, and on a long sector the positioning is a large share of the bill;
  • Take the light jet unless the luggage says otherwise. Four people and four bags do not need a midsize, and the money saved pays for the car, the hotel and a helicopter hour.

 

Types of flights

Trondheim produces a different mix from the Alpine or Mediterranean destinations we cover, because it is a university and research city with a coast of oil, clipfish and islands around it.

  • Business travel to a technology and research centre, with meetings at the university, the research institutes and the university hospital on fixed dates, a small team and a request to be back in Britain the same evening;
  • Pilgrim and festival weeks, centred on Nidaros Cathedral at the end of July and on the music weekends in summer;
  • Coast and island trips that start with the jet and continue by road or helicopter to Hitra, Kristiansund and the Fosen peninsula;
  • Industrial visits to Orkanger and to the oil and gas supply base at Kristiansund;
  • Onward flights to Bodø and Tromsø in the dark months, for the northern lights.

Trondheim is a workable day trip, with a long day. Wheels up at seven, on the ground at about twenty past ten local time, and off again at five in the afternoon gives you about five hours in the city and puts you back in Britain by twenty past six. The crew waits at the airport during the meetings and that waiting time is charged, yet the total is usually below two one-way charters, and we price the route both ways so you can compare.

 

Empty Legs

Some jets cross the North Sea with nobody aboard, on their way to the next job, and the operator will sell that leg cheaply rather than fly it for nothing. That is an empty leg. On the Trondheim route they follow the festivals and the weekends, and it helps to know what produces them.

Where Trondheim empty legs come from

– Festival weekends. Aircraft bring guests in on the Friday and leave empty on the Sunday, and that evening leg back towards London or Aberdeen is the one most often offered;

– Summer coast weeks. Operators bring parties for a week of islands and helicopter days and then reposition, and the legs that follow between Trondheim, Oslo and Bergen can be cheap;

– North Sea and Scandinavian rotation. Operators positioning between Aberdeen, Oslo, Bergen and Trondheim put short legs on the market.

The corridor is thinner than the busiest London routes, so a client who can name a few days rather than one has a far better chance than one who needs a particular evening. The trade is the usual one: 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 Trondheim match the day an operator releases it.

Helicopter charter

In Trondheim a helicopter is a way of seeing the fjord and the islands, not of crossing the city. The centre is small enough to cover on foot, and the places where flying changes the day are the Trondheimsfjord itself and the island of Hitra to the west, which is the largest island south of the Lofoten and is joined to the mainland by an undersea tunnel of about 5.6 km.

City and Trondheimsfjord by helicopter
a sightseeing flight over the city and the fjord, sold by the seat with up to five on board; a private flight is arranged on request
about 30 minutes
Helitrans at Værnes
the operator has its main base and technical department at the airport, with Airbus H125 and Bell 205 helicopters for cargo, personnel transport, sightseeing and taxi flights
on request
Hitra, by helicopter or by road
island of about 570 square kilometres, known for its red deer, with the Hitra Tunnel to the mainland and a catamaran from Trondheim
tunnel of about 5.6 km

Before you plan around a helicopter

– Landing sites are limited. A helicopter may land away from an aerodrome only where the site has been agreed, so the lodge, the island jetty or the field is settled with the operator before the quote;

– Weather sets the schedule. Low cloud on the fjord can stop a helicopter on a day when the jet lands without trouble, so a fjord flight needs a road alternative and, if you can spare it, a second day;

– The machines are small. The tour helicopters carry up to five passengers, so a party of six or more needs two aircraft or a different type, and for the festival week and the summer the helicopter should be booked together with the jet.

The machines on this ground are the single-engine Airbus H125 for the fjord and the islands, the wider H130 for scenic and lodge transfers, the H135 and the Bell 429 where a twin is wanted. We book them alongside the jet so that both crews work to one timetable.

Trondheim 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.

DAY TRIP · OUT AND BACK

A day in Trondheim and home for the evening

London City - Trondheim and return, Citation CJ3+, about 2 h 20 min each way · 4 pax

Four people left a London airfield at seven, landed at Værnes at about twenty past ten local time and were at a table in the city by eleven. The aircraft and crew waited at the airport rather than going home, which is a real line in the quote and still comes in below two separate one-way charters. They left Trondheim at five and were back in Britain by twenty past six.

ST OLAV WEEK · BOOKED EARLY

Six people for the festival

Farnborough - Trondheim, Phenom 300E, about 2 h 15 min · 6 pax

A long weekend built around the vigil at Nidaros Cathedral and the concerts of the festival week. The booking went in six weeks ahead, which is what kept the permission, the handler and the car available in the busiest week of the Trondheim year. A booking made ten days out would have cost more and might have meant an aircraft brought from Oslo.

RESEARCH AND TECHNOLOGY · FIXED DATES

A delegation for two days of meetings

London Luton - Trondheim, Citation XLS+, about 2 h 15 min · 8 pax

The dates were set by the meetings and not by the client. Eight people, laptops, printed folders and a request for a car at the aircraft door. The permission was filed three days ahead, the handler arranged the passport check at the terminal, and the customs allowance was explained to the group before they left Britain.

COAST AND ISLANDS · THE HITRA DAY

Five people and a day on the island

Biggin Hill - Trondheim, Citation CJ3+, about 2 h 25 min · 5 pax

They had set aside a single day for the island. A car met the aircraft, the road led west and then under the Trondheimsleia through the Hitra Tunnel, and a helicopter slot over the fjord was booked together with the jet, with a road plan in reserve in case the cloud sat down on the water. It lifted by lunchtime.

A DOG ON BOARD · OSLO FIRST

Four adults and a spaniel for a long weekend

Southampton - Oslo - Trondheim, Citation XLS+ · 4 pax + dog

The dog could not enter Norway at Trondheim, so the aircraft landed at Gardermoen first for the animal check and carried on to Værnes. The tapeworm treatment was timed inside the 24 to 120 hour window before the way in, and the direct flight home from Norway needed none. The hotel agreed to the dog, and the whole plan was settled in a single exchange of messages.

EMPTY LEG · SUNDAY EVENING WEST

A jet already going your way

Trondheim - London Luton, Phenom 300E empty leg, about 2 h 10 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 Trondheim

1How long is a private jet flight from London to Trondheim?

About 2 hours 25 minutes from Biggin Hill or 2 hours 20 minutes from London City in a light jet, and around 2 hours 10 minutes to 2 hours 15 minutes from Luton or Farnborough in a Phenom, covering roughly 813 to 854 nautical miles. From Manchester allow about 2 hours, and from Edinburgh or Aberdeen 1 hour 55 minutes or 1 hour 45 minutes. Trondheim is one hour ahead of Britain, so a seven o'clock departure from London City lands at about twenty past ten local time.

2How much does a private jet to Trondheim cost?

From about £11,350 one way on a light jet out of London City, and £11,500 from Biggin Hill. A Phenom from Luton or Farnborough runs £11,200 to £11,700, a midsize cabin costs £13,750 from Birmingham and £14,850 from Bristol, and from Aberdeen a light jet starts at £8,250, from Edinburgh £9,250. The St Olav week, the winter weeks with de-icing and the busy festival weekends can price above these figures.

3Which airport should a private jet use for Trondheim?

Trondheim Airport, Værnes (TRD / ENVA) for every jet trip. It is at Stjørdal, about 32 km from the centre, has a main runway of 2,996 m, air traffic service round the clock and a customs office on site, and it is shared with the Norwegian Air Force. Business flights need prior permission at least 48 hours ahead and handling is compulsory. Kristiansund (KSU) is the diversion, and Namsos and Rørvik suit turboprops only.

4When should I book a private jet to Trondheim?

Allow at least two clear working days, because the airport requires prior permission 48 hours before arrival or departure, and a week is the sensible figure. For the St Olav Festival at the turn of July and August, and for the summer and Christmas weekends, allow four to six weeks. Permission, handling, apron space, hotels and cars all get tight in the same days, and a late booking tends to pay more for an aircraft positioned from Oslo or Bergen.

5Can I fly on from Trondheim to Kristiansund, Oslo or the Arctic?

Yes. Kristiansund is 90 nautical miles and Oslo 204, so a Pilatus PC-12 does the first in under an hour and the second in about an hour, once the first landing in Norway is done. Bodø is 254 nautical miles and Tromsø 436, the second a light-jet sector. For the island of Hitra and the fjord, a helicopter flight over the city and the Trondheimsfjord takes about 30 minutes, and the Hitra Tunnel links the island to the mainland by road.

6Can I take my dog to Trondheim on a private jet?

Yes, but the first landing must be Oslo. The dog travels in the cabin with you, and Norway asks for a microchip fitted before the rabies vaccination, a vaccination at least 21 days old, a health certificate, notice to the Norwegian Food Safety Authority at least 48 hours before arrival and a tapeworm treatment from a vet 24 to 120 hours before entering Norway. Animals from Britain may enter only through Oslo Gardermoen or Storskog. A direct flight home from Norway to Britain needs no tapeworm treatment for a dog, which is needed only if the dog has been in another country or the routing includes one, and cats are exempt.
