Private Jet Hire from the United Kingdom

From a London departure lounge the other three capitals are closer than most people expect: Cardiff in about thirty-five minutes, Belfast and Edinburgh in roughly an hour. Private Jets UK plans a British trip as a chain of short sectors, because the United Kingdom is four nations with their own airports, their own handler hours and, in one case, their own pet rules. 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. Across the kingdom that means pairing the right field with each stop and keeping the handler's hours in view.

 

 

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 the United Kingdom 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 Farnborough, a Cessna Citation CJ3+ to Cardiff 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 the United Kingdom?

The whole kingdom keeps one clock, Greenwich Mean Time in winter and British Summer Time from spring to autumn, in Belfast and Cardiff as in London and Edinburgh. Dublin keeps it too, while the Continent is an hour ahead, so a morning departure from Paris or Geneva lands in Britain before it left by the local watch. These are typical sectors into the capitals and the London gateway, gate to gate:

The exact flight time depends on the model of the business jet, as well as the speed of the tail or head wind. Our consultant will make a detailed calculation of the flight time for the chosen business jet.

 

 

Prices for the private jet flights to the United Kingdom

Typical private jet charter prices into the four nations, listed cheapest first. A light jet from London to the Welsh capital sets the entry price, and the table then climbs with the distance and the size of the cabin:

 

 

Private jet flights between the four nations and to the neighbours

The hops that clients ask for most are the ones that join the nations to one another and to the islands around them: Belfast to Glasgow in place of a ferry and a drive, Cardiff to Dublin across the Irish Sea, Aberdeen to Wales for a week that mixes work and rugby. These are the sectors we quote most often:

 

 

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:

 

 

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 a trip across the United Kingdom:

 

 

Because every row between two British airports needs a British-registered aircraft, a quote for a multi-nation week often names Farnborough, Manchester or Edinburgh as the place the aircraft starts from, and the positioning flight to you is priced in.

Business aviation airports of the United Kingdom

The kingdom has no single gateway, and the trip usually enters through London before it spreads out. London carries the arrivals from abroad, Manchester and Birmingham join the English regions, and each of the other nations has its own pair or trio of fields. The thirteen rows below are the ones we plan around:

 

Four rules settle most multi-nation quotes before they go out:

 

Flying between the nations: borders, permits and VAT

Great Britain is one customs and immigration area, and Northern Ireland is part of the United Kingdom, so there is no frontier between any two of the four nations. A flight from Cardiff to Edinburgh is a domestic hop, and so is one from Belfast. The handler still takes the passenger names, and photo identification is worth carrying because an airfield or a hotel may ask for it. The rules change at the edge of the kingdom:

 

 

Which airport for which part of the kingdom

The airport is nearly always settled by one address: a stadium, a course, a glen, a quay. These are the pairings we use across the four nations:

 

Parliaments, fairways and stadiums: why clients cross the kingdom

Business draws the first call, and in four capitals it speaks four accents. London is the City and Canary Wharf, Edinburgh the financial centre and the seat of the Scottish parliament, Cardiff the seat of the Senedd in Cardiff Bay, where the old coal docks have become a waterfront, and Belfast a city whose Titanic Quarter now holds both the Titanic Belfast museum and the studios where Game of Thrones was filmed.

Golf is the second pull and the most international. Celtic Manor near Newport built a course for the Ryder Cup, which Europe won by 14.5 to 13.5 before about 50,000 spectators. Royal Porthcawl on the Bristol Channel has held the Walker Cup, the Curtis Cup and the Senior Open. Royal Portrush is the only club outside Great Britain to have hosted The Open, and the Old Course at St Andrews sits on the same championship rota. A golf party of four to eight is a light or midsize jet with the bags in the hold.

Then the stadiums. The Principality Stadium in Cardiff holds 73,931 under a closing roof and takes the Wales home matches of the Six Nations, the autumn internationals and the largest concerts. The North West 200 in May fills the Antrim coast with more than 150,000 people for a road race on a 14.4 kilometre circuit between Portstewart, Coleraine and Portrush.

The landscape fills the gaps: the 40,000 basalt columns of the Giant's Causeway, protected as a World Heritage Site, the Dark Hedges of County Antrim, the dark-sky reserve of Bannau Brycheiniog and the Pembrokeshire coast, where the national park is mostly shoreline. None of it needs a long sector.

 

The British year: when the four nations fill and when the weather closes them

Each nation has its own high season, and a good itinerary uses the gaps between them:

 

The calendar of the four nations: rugby, festivals, shows and races

The dated events cluster between February and September, and Wales and Northern Ireland supply many that the London-centred diaries miss:

 

 

Flying across the United Kingdom with a dog or a cat

Between England, Scotland and Wales no import rules apply to a dog or a cat, and the animal sits in the cabin with you. The operator has the last word, so we ask in advance and confirm in writing. Northern Ireland is the one place inside the kingdom where the paperwork changes, and a journey from abroad into any of the four nations has its own list.

• No more than five animals, because a larger number brings the commercial import rules into play;
• A rabies vaccination given when the animal was at least 12 weeks old, with the microchip fitted before it or on the same day;
• A vet's travel document from the country of departure, and for a flight that leaves the United Kingdom the certificate that the destination country asks for.

Requirements for birds, rabbits and the less usual species, along with the countries where the timeline runs to months, are set out on our flying with pets guide.

 

 

Empty Legs

An empty leg is a repositioning flight with nobody aboard, offered at a fraction of the usual price. The kingdom produces them in pairs, because a jet that carries a party to one nation has to go back to its base, and the party often wants only one direction.

A client who can offer a few days has a far better chance of a match, though the operator owns the date and a leg can disappear when the original booking changes. Whatever is free is listed on our empty legs page. A selection of British empty legs follows:

 

 

 

Helicopter charter

Across the kingdom the helicopter is the last mile. London has one licensed heliport, Battersea, and Cardiff has a heliport on Foreshore Road about two miles from the centre, a grass site of 300 metres owned by the city council and operated by the Welsh air ambulance charity. The ambulance flights come first, and any other landing is agreed in advance. Elsewhere the work is a transfer from a jet to a stadium, a course or a lough shore:

The London times are those quoted by operators; the others are straight-line estimates at a cruise of about 115 knots plus a few minutes for start-up and landing, and the operator confirms the route for your date.

 

 

UK airports for private flights across the four nations

Most of the traffic starts at the London fields, with Manchester, Birmingham and Edinburgh behind them and Dublin and the Continent at the long end. The airports below are the ones our clients ask about most. Our clients have access to all airports of the UK and Europe. Due to the unique partnership conditions, we can offer our clients the best prices for business aviation services.
