Send the dates, the party size and where you are staying. We come back with aircraft options, the right London airport and a written price, usually within the hour.

When London fills up

London is busy all year, but on these dates the airports' slots and parking go first and the aircraft based here are spoken for.

  1. June Royal Ascot and the summer season Five days of racing and a full social calendar. Farnborough is at capacity for arrivals from the Gulf and the US.
  2. Late June to July Wimbledon Two weeks of steady inbound traffic, with the finals weekend the tightest.
  3. July, even years Farnborough International Airshow Farnborough closes to most business traffic for the show week; flights move to Luton, Biggin Hill and Stansted.
  4. October Frieze London Collectors and galleries arrive in the same week. Biggin Hill and Farnborough parking fills early.
  5. December to January Christmas and New Year Outbound to the Gulf, the Caribbean and the Alps peaks in the fortnight before Christmas; the return wave is the first week of January.

On the ground in London

Passport details go ahead, Border Force meets you in the terminal, and the rest of the stay is arranged in the same conversation as the flight.

01

Immigration and customs

UK Border Force clears private arrivals inside the FBO, usually in minutes. Passport details go to the handler in advance; most nationalities need an ETA or visa, which we confirm when we book.

02

Travelling with a pet

Dogs and cats fly in the cabin. Entering the UK, a pet needs a microchip, rabies vaccination and a health certificate, and must arrive at an approved airport; we arrange the paperwork with the handler.

03

The car

A chauffeured car meets the aircraft on the ramp at Farnborough or whichever airport you land at, and the driver knows the private terminal, not the commercial one.

Popular routes into and from London

Each route has its own page: flight time, the airports at both ends, the aircraft that suit the leg and an indicative price.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a private jet to London cost?

It depends where you leave from. Indicative one-way prices for the whole aircraft start at about £6,500 from Paris in a light jet, about £8,500 from Geneva, about £35,000 from Dubai and about £37,000 from New York in a super-midsize jet with one stop, and about £91,000 from Los Angeles in a heavy jet. Repositioning, overnight parking and handling are quoted separately once we know your dates.

Which London airport should I fly into?

Farnborough for the west of London and Surrey, Biggin Hill for the City and Canary Wharf, Luton for late arrivals, the north and the largest cabins, Stansted for VIP airliners, and London City for smaller jets on short European flights. Each is described above with its opening hours, drive time and handling agents.

Can I charter a jet to London today?

From anywhere in Europe, usually yes: a light jet from Paris, Geneva or Nice can often depart within a few hours. From New York or Dubai, twenty-four hours is the realistic minimum because of crew duty times, though we have done it faster.

How long is a private jet flight to London?

About 1 hour from Paris, about 1 hour 30 from Geneva, about 2 hours from Nice, about 6 hours 45 from New York, about 7 and a quarter hours from Dubai, and about 10 hours from Los Angeles. Eastbound transatlantic flights are shorter than the return because of the jet stream.

Do I need a visa to land in London by private jet?

Most nationalities need an Electronic Travel Authorisation or a visa to enter the UK. Passport details go to the handler in advance and UK Border Force clears you inside the private terminal, usually in minutes. We confirm what you need when we book.

When is London hardest to fly into?

Royal Ascot and the summer season in June, Wimbledon in late June and July, the Farnborough Airshow week in even years when Farnborough closes to most business traffic, Frieze in October, and the fortnight before Christmas. On those dates Farnborough's parking goes first and we hold Luton or Biggin Hill as the fallback.

Can I pay for the charter with crypto?

Yes. Bank transfer in any major currency; crypto also accepted. Tell us your preferred coin and we confirm the network and payment instructions with the contract.

Where would you like to fly?

Tell us what you have in mind. Our team will take care of the charter arrangements and discuss crypto payment if you prefer.
