Leave Al Maktoum after breakfast and land at Farnborough for a late lunch. Seven and a quarter hours non-stop in a heavy or ultra-long-range jet, from the private terminals at both ends.
Bank transfer or cryptoPriced in pounds sterling for this route.
Dubai to London is 3,400 miles. A heavy or ultra-long-range jet flies it non-stop in about seven and a quarter hours. Super-midsize jets refuel in Cyprus or Turkey and arrive about an hour later for a lower price.
London runs three hours behind Dubai in summer and four in winter. A 9 am departure from Al Maktoum lands at Farnborough around 1 pm local time with the afternoon ahead. Immigration and customs are cleared in the FBO at both ends.
Aircraft based in Dubai, London and across the Gulf are all in play on this route, which keeps pricing competitive and usually allows a departure within twenty-four hours of your request.
Prices below are indicative one-way figures for the whole aircraft, not per seat. They cover the flight, crew and fuel; parking in London, repositioning and handling are quoted separately once we know your dates.
A return with the aircraft waiting in London is usually priced well below two one-way flights. Tell us your dates and we confirm the figure in writing, in sterling or the currency you prefer.

Super-midsize jets refuel in Cyprus or Turkey, adding about an hour. VIP airliners land at Stansted or Luton.
Leaving Dubai, Al Maktoum is the easiest airport to depart from on a busy week, and Dubai International the closest to Downtown and DIFC. Sharjah is the fallback when both are full.
Dubai's dedicated business-aviation terminal. Open around the clock, slot-friendly and the easiest arrival on busy weeks. Immigration and customs cleared in the lounge.
Closest to the centre. Higher handling fees and constrained slots, especially at peak evening hours, so it is worth booking early.
Lower fees and easy parking for VIP airliners. A sensible alternative when Dubai's slots are gone.
Arriving in London, the airport follows the rest of your day: Farnborough for the west and Surrey, Biggin Hill for the City, Luton for the north and for late arrivals, Stansted for the largest cabins.
Flying private to London from anywhere: airports, aircraft and prices
Europe's purpose-built business airport. Operating hours 7 am to 10 pm, with limits on weekend movements, so a late-night flight means Luton or Stansted.
Open around the clock and handles every cabin size up to VIP airliners. The workhorse for overnight flights.
Six-minute helicopter transfer to Battersea. Open 6.30 am to 11 pm on weekdays, 8 am to 10 pm at weekends.
Open around the clock with a long runway, so the natural home for Boeing Business Jets and Airbus Corporate Jets.
The closest runway to the Square Mile. Its short, steep approach limits the aircraft types, and it closes overnight and on Saturday afternoons.
Non-stop Dubai to London needs a heavy or ultra-long-range cabin. Two aircraft in our own fleet, the Legacy 650 and the Gulfstream G650, both fly it non-stop; for larger groups the Lineage 1000 and the VIP airliners are also available. Super-midsize jets fly the route with a fuel stop, which trades an hour for a lower price.
Aircraft pages for this route: Embraer Legacy 650, Dassault Falcon 2000LXS, Embraer Lineage 1000.
Twelve to fourteen seats, a stand-up cabin and enough range for the route with fuel reserves. The Legacy 650 in our fleet is the usual first choice.
See the Legacy 650Thirteen to sixteen seats, better cabin pressure and less noise than heavy jets. The Gulfstream G650 in our fleet flies Dubai to London in about seven hours.
See the Gulfstream G650Eighteen seats and above in the Embraer Lineage 1000, Airbus Corporate Jet or Boeing Business Jet, into Stansted or Luton.
See the whole fleetLondon is busy all year, but on these dates the airports' slots and parking go first and the aircraft based here are spoken for.
The return leaves from Farnborough, Luton, Biggin Hill or Stansted and lands at Al Maktoum, Dubai International or Sharjah. Allow six and a half to seven hours non-stop. A late-evening departure from Luton lands in Dubai early the next morning.
Farnborough closes at 10 pm, so overnight departures use Luton or Stansted. During winter, Dubai's arrival slots and parking are scarce, and we secure the return when we book the outbound.
Indicative one-way prices for the whole aircraft start at about £35,000 in a super-midsize jet; about £49,000 in a heavy jet; about £66,000 in a ultra-long-range jet; about £115,000 in a vip airliner. Repositioning, overnight parking and handling are quoted separately once we know your dates, and a return with the aircraft waiting is usually priced well below two one-way flights.
About 7 and a quarter hours from boarding to landing for the cabins shown on this page, depending on the aircraft, the winds and the airports at each end. Every cabin class listed flies it without a stop.
From Dubai: Al Maktoum International, Dubai International and Sharjah International. Into London: Farnborough, London Luton, Biggin Hill, London Stansted and London City. Each is described above with its drive time and the operators that handle private flights there.
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.
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.
