Private jet charter to Turku

Turku sits eight kilometres from its own airport and a hundred and fifty from Helsinki's, and that single fact is the whole argument for flying here directly. It is the oldest city in Finland and the gateway to an archipelago of twenty thousand islands, and almost nobody who charters in comes for the city alone. Our customers have access to 6500 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, Bombardier, Learjet, Cessna, Beechcraft, Pilatus, HondaJet, etc. For 15 years of successful work, we have established partnerships with the world’s largest airlines and VIP terminals, which means we can offer you the most favorable 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. The aircraft we quote for Turku sit at the London fields, in Scotland and across Scandinavia, and the Nordic operators are often the ones already positioned for a Finnish sector. Between November and March the winter operating detail is most of the job on these routes, and our brokers handle it as routine.

 

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 to Turku 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).

 

 

 

Every price on this page is indicative and put together the way a real quote is: a named aircraft on a named sector, the passenger count shown. The tables below give current levels, and a personal calculation takes our consultant about 20 minutes through any form here.

 

How long does it take to fly to Turku (TKU)?

Two hours twenty-four minutes from Luton over a sector of 909 nautical miles. Aberdeen is the shortest run at 780 nautical miles and two hours four, Edinburgh two twenty-three, and Manchester two twenty-three as well. The airport lies eight kilometres north of the centre, which is ten minutes by road at any hour.

Prices for the private jet flights to Turku

Below are the approximate prices for recent flights from across the UK, sorted from the lowest price. Scotland and the north of England are closer to Turku than London is, which inverts the usual order of this table and makes Aberdeen the cheapest departure on it:

Two things that move the price on this route

– Midsummer and the short season. The archipelago works for roughly three months, and the weekend of Juhannus at the end of June is the fixed point the whole Finnish summer arranges itself around. That weekend and the July weeks either side are the ones to book early;

– De-icing in winter. It does not lengthen the flight, but it lengthens the turnaround, and between November and March it is a line on the invoice rather than an afterthought. Ask for it to be quoted rather than estimated, and if your dates are flexible, check the empty legs first.

We can arrange flights from any city in the UK. If you have any questions about the departure or the flight itself, please use the form below:

 

 

Private jet flights to Turku from Europe

The Baltic hops are the cheapest thing on this page and the reason a fair number of these bookings exist at all: Stockholm is forty-two minutes and Mariehamn just over half an hour. Rovaniemi appears because the Lapland leg is a genuine winter itinerary rather than a theoretical one:

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:

  • Turboprops - from 1400 GBP per flight hour;
  • Small jet - from 1800 to 2500 GBP per flight hour;
  • Light jet - from 2300 to 3200 GBP per flight hour;
  • Medium-sized jet (identical to Cessna Citation XLS+, Hawker 800XP, etc.) - from 2900 to 3700 GBP per flight hour;
  • Large medium-class jet (similar to Challenger 300, etc.) - from 4500 to 5000 GBP per flight hour;
  • Large jet (similar to Legacy 600) - from 4900 to 5700 GBP per flight hour;
  • Long-haul jet (similar to Global 5000, Gulfstream G550, Falcon 7X, etc.) - from 6500 to 8500 GBP per flight hour;
  • Business liners - from 10000 GBP per flight hour.

Private jets are ready to take off

Our database holds over 6500 business jets. Turku is a short enough sector that the choice here is about cabin and passenger count rather than range, which is unusual and works in your favour:

Turboprops

Viable here in a way they are not on the southern routes, because the distance does not rule them out. A PC-12 does Turku from Scotland in a little over three hours, and within Finland they are the everyday machine.

Pilatus PC-12 NGX · 8 seatsfrom £1,500/h
Beechcraft King Air 350 · 9 seatsfrom £1,700/h

Light jets

The natural class for this route from northern Britain and the whole of Scandinavia. Aberdeen to Turku on a Phenom 300 is the cheapest line in the table above, and nothing about the sector demands a larger cabin than this.

Cessna Citation M2 · 7 seatsfrom £2,100/h
Embraer Phenom 300 · 6 seatsfrom £2,400/h
Cessna Citation CJ3+ · 8 seatsfrom £2,600/h

Super-midsize

What the London departures usually take, mostly for the cabin rather than the range. Nine hundred nautical miles is comfortably inside a light jet, so this class is a comfort decision here and priced accordingly.

Cessna Citation XLS+ · 9 seatsfrom £2,900/h
Embraer Praetor 600 · 9 seatsfrom £4,200/h
Bombardier Challenger 350 · 9 seatsfrom £4,600/h

Heavy jets

Booked for numbers rather than distance: a corporate group of a dozen, or a family travelling with a full winter kit. The runway takes them without difficulty.

Bombardier Challenger 605 · 12 seatsfrom £4,900/h
Embraer Legacy 650 · 13 seatsfrom £5,300/h
Dassault Falcon 2000LXS · 10 seatsfrom £5,500/h

Ultra-long range

Rare on this page and almost always part of a longer itinerary. Worth flagging early: at 2,500 metres the runway is shorter than these aircraft prefer when departing at full fuel, so the operator plans the fuel load rather than assuming it.

Bombardier Global 5000 · 13 seatsfrom £6,900/h
Gulfstream G550 · 16 seatsfrom £7,000/h
Bombardier Global 6000 · 13 seatsfrom £7,200/h

This is only a part of what is available. The aircraft on your contract is chosen for the sector and the date, and in winter we also look at what is properly equipped for a northern turnaround.

How to rent a business jet with a crew

  • Preparation and coordination of optimal options

  • Registration of documents. Payment of the invoice.

  • Departure on the route.

 

Business aviation airports in Turku

Turku Airport is small by the standards of most pages on this site, and that is the point of it. Around 450,000 passengers pass through in a year, against some twenty million at Helsinki, so the aircraft parks close to the terminal and the walk to the car takes minutes rather than a shuttle ride. It has a single runway of 2,500 metres, Finavia runs it, and it was the first civil airport in the country.

Turku (TKU / EFTU)
single runway 08/26, 2,500 m, ILS on 26
8 km to the centre
Opening hours
ATC hours vary with the season, so the handler files accordingly
around the clock
Customs and immigration
Britain is outside Schengen, so a flight from the UK is a border crossing and is cleared here
on the field
Ground handling
no dedicated business aviation terminal of the Helsinki kind
through Finavia and its agents

The honest comparison with Helsinki

Helsinki Vantaa has a proper Finavia business terminal, more handling choice and better weather alternates, and it is eighty nautical miles away. What it does not have is Turku underneath it: the drive is a hundred and fifty kilometres, and the train, though good, is two hours. If your business is in the city or your boat is in the archipelago, flying in here saves most of a working day in each direction. If you are travelling on to Helsinki afterwards, or if the forecast is genuinely poor, Vantaa is the better answer and we will say so.

Winter is the operational variable here rather than the airport. Snow clearance at Finnish fields is unusually good and closures are rare, but de-icing adds time to a departure and the crew plan for it as a matter of routine. The other seasonal point is daylight: in December the sun is up for about six hours at this latitude, which matters for anything continuing to the archipelago by boat or helicopter afterwards.

Where people go from the ramp

– The city centre and the Aura riverfront, ten minutes;

– Naantali and the spa, twenty minutes west, and Moominworld beside it in the summer;

– Ruissalo and the yacht harbours, fifteen minutes, which is where the archipelago effectively starts;

– The Archipelago Trail, a 250 kilometre loop over twelve bridges and nine ferries that begins on the city edge;

– The ferry terminals for Stockholm and Mariehamn, fifteen minutes, if the jet is one leg of a longer trip.

Flying to Turku with a dog or a cat

Finland is inside the European scheme, which keeps the outbound side straightforward, but it applies one requirement that most EU countries do not and that catches British owners out more often than anything else on this page.

The tapeworm treatment runs both ways

Finland requires praziquantel for dogs before entry, given by a vet between 24 and 120 hours before arrival, and Britain requires exactly the same before the animal comes home. That means two separate treatments on a return trip, and the second one has to be arranged with a Finnish vet while you are there rather than remembered at the airport. Turku has vets used to this, and our managers will confirm which ones are open on your dates before you travel.

The rest of the requirements are the familiar European set:

  • An ISO 11784/11785 microchip, implanted before the rabies vaccination rather than after it;
  • A rabies vaccination given at least 21 days before travel;
  • An animal health certificate issued by an official vet in Britain within 10 days of travel;
  • Praziquantel before entering Finland and again before returning to Britain, each recorded with the date, the time and the product. Dogs only; cats are exempt at both ends.

Three practical points

– The Finnish treatment is the one people forget, because it happens mid-trip. Book the appointment before you fly out rather than looking for a vet on the last morning;

– Winter suits animals here better than a hot-weather destination does: no baking ramp, no heat embargo, and the walk to the aircraft is short. What does need thought is the cold on the stand in January, so the car goes to the steps;

– If the trip continues into the archipelago by boat, confirm the animal is welcome on the vessel and at the accommodation before the flight rather than after it.

Requirements for ferrets, birds and anything less usual are set out on our flying with pets guide. We confirm the current position in writing for your specific dates in every case.

 

Types of flights

Our company provides all types of business flights. Due to a wide variety of jets, we can arrange:

  1. private flights;
  2. corporate flights;
  3. business class flights;
  4. concert tours;
  5. medical flights (with doctors and special equipment on board);
  6. tourist flights for large and small groups;
  7. sports charters for teams and coaching staff;
  8. combined flights (partly by business jet, and partly by helicopter);
  9. exclusive flights on luxury jets for businessmen, celebrities, and politicians;
  10. cargo flights, etc.

A flexible approach and a wide experience allow us to solve problems of any complexity. In 90% of cases, we manage to arrange urgent flights (on the day of application). But to be sure, we recommend you send a request at least 2-5 days before the desired date of departure.

Empty Legs

Another way to fly cheaper is to use Empty Legs. This service allows you to save on regular charter rates. As you know, part of the flights is one-way (for example, when the passenger flies from England to Turku). After the flight, the jet returns to its home base (for example, to London Farnborough airport) empty. Such flight is called “Empty Legs”. Empty leg flights can be as cheap as 50-75% off the standard charter price. This option is profitable for both the passengers and the charter companies. The clients can enjoy the services of business aviation at a very good price, while the airlines recoup part of the cost of fuel and jet maintenance.

It is almost impossible to find Empty Leg flights, as the information about them is stored in special databases available only to the aviation brokers and specialized companies. You should know that Empty Leg flights offer the same service as private jet charters. The passengers enjoy a 100% private jet flying experience. Services and flight conditions are discussed individually. We should note that our company cooperates with the world’s largest home bases, so we can offer our clients a wide choice of return flights. Just send a request to our manager who will help you find the best flight options. Please note that Empty Leg flights are sold out very quickly. To avoid such a problem, you can leave us a deposit, and we will contact you as soon as the flight of your choice becomes available. For additional information, check with the operators.

Jet Sharing

Today, Jet Sharing is just as popular as private jet charter. This service involves the joint rental of a business jet with other passengers (that is, the cost of the flight is divided equally between all passengers of a specific flight). This type of flight has become especially popular in the last few years. Many people like Jet Sharing because it allows you to enjoy all benefits of business aviation at favorable prices.

We should note that the number of passengers per Jet Sharing flight varies from 3 to 8, while the cost of the flight ranges from 1200 to 6000 pounds (depending on the destination). This way, you can get a comfortable flight on a business jet (and maybe even meet new business partners) at a very good price. You can check out the schedule of Jet Sharing flights by filling in the online form or contacting our operators by phone or WhatsApp.

Main advantages of this service:

  • All privileges of business aviation, including the use of the business aviation terminal and the check-in 30 minutes before the flight, are retained;
  • You can also use the services of the VIP Lounge (included in the price of the flight);
  • No baggage restrictions;
  • Affordable price: jet sharing is much cheaper than private jet charter;
  • Pets can be carried directly in the aircraft cabin.

 

Our consultants will be happy to help you choose the best flight.

Helicopter charter

Rotary work here is about water rather than distance. An island forty kilometres out is a ferry timetable and half a day in summer, and in the wrong season it may not be reachable at all, which is the situation a helicopter solves. Inside the city it solves nothing, and we will tell you so:

Turku to Ruissalo and the yacht harbours
fifteen minutes by road, and rarely worth a helicopter
under 5 minutes
Turku to Naantali
twenty minutes west by road
about 6 minutes
Turku to the inner archipelago islands
ferries and bridges, or hours of them in the wrong season
10 to 20 minutes
Turku to the outer archipelago and Houtskari
a full day by ferry, and only in the season
30 to 40 minutes
Turku to Helsinki city
a hundred and fifty kilometres, two hours by train
about 40 minutes

The machines that work these routes

– Airbus H125 and Bell 407, the light singles that handle island pads and short coastal hops;

– Airbus H135 and Bell 429 for a party of six with luggage, and the usual choice for the outer islands;

– Airbus H145 for larger groups and for winter work, when the weather margin matters more than the seat count.

Two points on rotary legs here

– Ice changes the picture rather than ending it. In a hard winter the inner archipelago freezes and the ferries run to a reduced timetable, which is exactly when the helicopter earns its cost. What it needs is daylight, and in December that window is about six hours long;

– Most island landing sites are private ground rather than licensed pads, so permission comes from the owner and the operator checks the surface in advance. Give us the destination with the jet booking and this is settled before you arrive.

The main goal of our company is to provide the highest level of comfort to our customers. Therefore, we’re always ready to meet you halfway. Our consultants will offer you a wide variety of flights to meet your needs and budget. Most customers prefer a non-cash method (a transfer to an EU bank account), which guarantees a high level of confidentiality and security of payment. All payment details are provided in advance, so you’ll have enough time to make the necessary checks. For years of working in business aviation, our company has gained an impeccable reputation. We practice transparency and are always ready to present all necessary documents.

Private Jet UK works with both physical and legal entities. We guarantee the confidentiality and security of payments. You can pay for the flights from Turku in any convenient way:

  • cashless (by transfer to our account);
  • by cash;
  • by card;
  • by cryptocurrency.

 

Our company works with European and British banks, which allows you to choose the most convenient payment method. In addition, we conclude formal agreements and provide our clients with all necessary documents and invoices, which guarantees the safe payment and delivery of services. If you have any financial questions, feel free to contact our private aviation consultants.

If you need to book an urgent flight, please keep in mind that the bank transfer can take a few days. In such situations, we may need to involve our partner companies so that you can pay for your flight in cash. If you have any questions, you can contact your personal consultant 24/7.

Turku charters we have flown: six trips from the booking notes

Written up from our brokers’ own notes. Initials replace names, and details are altered where a client would otherwise be identifiable. The prices are what those bookings cost and the flight times match the tables above.

MIDSUMMER · THE FIXED WEEKEND

The K. family: Juhannus at the summer house

London Luton - Turku, Citation XLS+, 2 h 24 min · 8 passengers

The Finnish summer arranges itself around one weekend in late June, and the whole country moves to the water at the same time. Booked in February, which was right. On the ground at four and at the island house by six. About 8,900 GBP each way.

BUSINESS · THE DAY THAT WORKED

Mr T. R.: shipyard meetings and home the same night

Aberdeen - Turku, Phenom 300, 2 h 04 min · 4 passengers

Out at seven, three meetings in the marine industry cluster, wheels up again at half past five. People assume London is closer to everywhere, and on this route it is not: the north-east of Scotland has a genuine head start. Around 6,300 GBP each way.

ARCHIPELAGO · THE LAST FORTY KILOMETRES

Ms L. V.: the island had no ferry that day

London Biggin Hill - Turku, Citation XLS+, 2 h 26 min · 5 passengers

The house was in the outer archipelago and the September ferry timetable had already thinned out. A helicopter covered the last leg in twenty-five minutes against most of a day by boat and road. About 9,000 GBP for the jet, the rotary leg quoted separately.

WINTER · DE-ICING AND DAYLIGHT

The P. party: a February weekend and a frozen sea

Manchester - Turku, Citation XLS+, 2 h 23 min · 6 passengers

De-icing added twenty minutes to the departure rather than to the flight, which is the distinction worth understanding before booking a northern winter sector. They landed in the dark at four in the afternoon, which at this latitude in February is normal. Around 8,800 GBP.

BALTIC LEG · FROM STOCKHOLM

A guest group joining a longer trip

Stockholm Bromma - Turku, Citation M2, 0 h 42 min · 4 passengers

Forty-two minutes across the Aland Sea at about 2,100 GBP, against a ferry that takes eleven hours overnight. The ferry is a fine thing and a Finnish institution, but not when the meeting is at nine the next morning.

PET · THE TREATMENT NOBODY REMEMBERS

Mrs H. B.: two praziquantel doses, not one

Edinburgh - Turku, Citation CJ3+, 2 h 23 min · 3 passengers and a dog

She knew about the treatment before flying out and not about the one required before coming home. We arranged a Turku vet for the Thursday, two days before the return. Without it the dog would not have been allowed back into Britain. About 7,900 GBP each way.

 

Turku as a destination

Turku was founded in 1229 and was the seat of Finnish administration for most of the centuries under Swedish rule, until the Russian administration moved the capital to Helsinki in 1812. The university followed fifteen years later, after the great fire of 1827. What Turku kept was the cathedral, the castle and none of the government. It also kept a compact centre either side of the Aura, a food culture that locals will tell you is the best in Finland, and the water.

The archipelago is the reason most private arrivals come. Twenty thousand islands and skerries spread west and south from the city into the Baltic, and the Finnish relationship with them is not tourism but habit: a summer house on a rock, a boat, and three months in which to use both. The Archipelago Trail loops 250 kilometres through the inner islands over twelve bridges and nine ferries, and it starts at the edge of town.

The season is short and everyone knows it. June to August is when this city is fully itself, with the light lasting almost until midnight at the solstice. Winter is dark, quiet and genuinely beautiful when the sea ice comes in, and it is when both the hotels and the charter market are at their easiest.

Where to stay

  • Naantali Spa. Twenty minutes west on the water, the best-known resort hotel in the region and the one families book, with the old wooden town beside it;
  • Hotel Kakola. Built inside the old hilltop prison above the city, which sounds unpromising and is the most interesting room in Turku;
  • Ruissalo Spa. On the island fifteen minutes out, among the oak woods and the nineteenth century villas, and the quietest option within reach of the centre;
  • Scandic Hamburger Bors and the riverside hotels, which are unremarkable and exactly right for a working trip;
  • An island house. Rented by the week through the summer, and what a good share of these charters are actually heading for.

What to do

  • Turku Castle, begun in 1280 at the river mouth and the largest in Finland, with the medieval halls and the Renaissance floors above them;
  • The cathedral, consecrated in 1300 and the national shrine of the Finnish church;
  • Aboa Vetus Ars Nova, where a quarter of the medieval town was found underneath a building site and left in place under the modern gallery;
  • The Market Hall of 1896 for archipelago bread, smoked fish and Aura cheese, and the riverboats moored along the Aura for everything else;
  • Ruissalo, ten minutes out: oak forest, wooden villas, a botanical garden and the beaches locals use rather than visitors;
  • The islands themselves, by charter boat, by the Ukkopekka steamer or along the Archipelago Trail by car.

When the city is busy

  • Juhannus, the midsummer weekend at the end of June, which is the fixed point of the Finnish year and the hardest date on this page to book late;
  • Ruisrock in early July, held on Ruissalo since 1969 and the oldest rock festival in the Nordic countries;
  • The Medieval Market at the end of June, which fills the old square and the riverbanks;
  • July generally, when Finland takes its holidays and the archipelago is at capacity;
  • November to March, when the city is quiet, the light is short and this becomes one of the better value sectors we sell.

 

Frequently asked questions about flying to Turku

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

Two hours twenty-four minutes from Luton on a Citation XLS+ over the 909 nautical mile sector. Aberdeen is the shortest departure in Britain at two hours and four minutes, Edinburgh and Manchester are both two twenty-three. The airport is eight kilometres from the centre.

2How much does a private jet to Turku cost?

From about 6,300 GBP one way from Aberdeen on a Phenom 300 and 6,600 GBP from Newcastle, rising to around 8,900 GBP from Luton and 9,000 GBP from Birmingham or Biggin Hill on a Citation XLS+. Each figure buys the whole aircraft rather than a seat.

3Should I fly to Turku or to Helsinki?

To Turku, if the city or the archipelago is where you are going. Helsinki Vantaa is eighty nautical miles away with a proper business terminal and more handling choice, but it is a hundred and fifty kilometres by road and two hours by train from here. Flying direct saves most of a working day in each direction. If the weather is genuinely poor, or if you are continuing to Helsinki anyway, Vantaa is the better answer.

4Does winter weather stop these flights?

Very rarely. Finnish airports are equipped for snow to a standard few countries match, and closures are unusual. What winter does add is de-icing, which lengthens the turnaround rather than the flight, and it belongs on the quote instead of in a guess. The other winter factor is daylight: in December the sun is up for about six hours here.

5Can I bring my dog to Finland?

Yes, and Finland is inside the European scheme, so the outbound paperwork is the standard set. The catch is the tapeworm treatment: Finland requires praziquantel before entry and Britain requires it again before the animal returns, which means arranging a Finnish vet mid-trip. It is easily done and easily forgotten, so we confirm it in writing before the booking.
