Across the North Sea in under two hours

Farnborough to Copenhagen is 545 nautical miles, 627 statute miles. London City and Luton are about 30 nm closer, so from the east and north of London the flight is a few minutes shorter. Every cabin flies it non-stop, so the aircraft is chosen for the party and the luggage, not the range.

Denmark is an hour ahead of London all year. Leave London City at 8 am and you land at Kastrup at about 10.50 local time, in the centre before midday; leave Copenhagen at 6 pm and you are back in London at about 7 pm, London time. A meeting, a lunch at one of the city's restaurants and a flight home fit in one day.

Kastrup, on the island of Amager, is the arrival for almost every jet: the city centre is 8 km away, and the Øresund Bridge to Malmö starts at the airport. Roskilde, the city's business airfield 40 km west, is the alternative for a light or midsize jet heading to west Zealand.

Which London airport to leave from is set out in our guide to the private jet airports in London: FBOs, customs and curfews, side by side.

Copenhagen Airport or Roskilde for a private jet?

Copenhagen Airport at Kastrup is open around the clock, its main runway is 3,600 m long and the private passengers go through the executive entrance at Terminal 2, where Danish passport control and customs are handled away from the airline halls. ASE Handling, one of the executive handlers there, keeps its lounge open from 7 am to 10 pm and arranges later arrivals in advance. Kastrup is a busy airline airport, so the operator requests the arrival time with the flight plan.

Copenhagen Roskilde Airport, run by the same company, is a general aviation field about 35 to 45 minutes from the centre by car. Its longer runway is 1,799 m, enough for light, midsize and most super-midsize jets, and its published hours are 7 am to 10 pm Danish time. Outside them a flight needs prior permission, requested at least an hour before the airport closes, and customs and immigration, available at any hour, need an hour's notice. It suits Roskilde itself, the coast of west Zealand and the festival week at the end of June; for the city we land at Kastrup.

Passports and the Entry/Exit System at Copenhagen

Denmark is in the Schengen area and the UK is not, so a flight from London is an international arrival: Danish police check passports and customs clears the bags in the private terminal. Since April 2026 the EU's Entry/Exit System registers the fingerprints and a facial image of non-EU travellers the first time they enter, which takes longer on a first visit. British passport holders need no visa for stays of up to 90 days in any 180; ETIAS, the EU travel authorisation, is not yet in operation.

London to Copenhagen private jet cost

Prices below are indicative one-way figures for the whole aircraft, not per seat, for an aircraft already in London. They cover the flight, crew and fuel; Copenhagen's handling, the private terminal, parking and any positioning are quoted separately.

A day return with the aircraft waiting at Kastrup is usually priced well below two one-way flights.

The hourly rate for each cabin, and what moves a quote up or down, are in our guide to private jet charter costs.

Aircraft for under two hours to Denmark

A light jet such as the Phenom 300 or the PC-24 suits four to six passengers, and leaves from London City when the aircraft and the operator are approved for it. A team with bags, or a family that wants a stand-up cabin, moves up to a midsize or super-midsize jet; a heavy jet such as the Falcon 2000LXS makes sense for ten or more.

Aircraft pages for this route: Bombardier Challenger 350.

When Copenhagen fills up

Copenhagen's private traffic peaks with the fashion and design weeks and with the long Scandinavian summer.

  1. Late January and August Copenhagen Fashion Week Two editions a year, autumn-winter in late January and spring-summer in August, with buyers and press in the city for the week.
  2. June 3daysofdesign The city's design festival, with showrooms and studios open across the centre for three days.
  3. Late June to early July Roskilde Festival A week of music on the edge of Roskilde, a short drive from Roskilde Airport, which is busy for those days.
  4. Mid-November to December Christmas in Copenhagen Tivoli's Christmas season and the markets, with the restaurants booked for December weekends.

Copenhagen to London

The return leaves Kastrup or Roskilde and takes about the same time; with the clock going back an hour, a 6 pm departure lands in London at about 7 pm. UK Border Force clears the arrival from the details the operator files before take-off, remotely or in the private terminal on landing.

London City and Farnborough close in the evening, so a late return goes into Luton, open around the clock, or Biggin Hill before 11 pm on a weekday. Otherwise the aircraft stays in Copenhagen and brings you back the next morning.

How booking a London to Copenhagen flight works

  1. 01 Enquiry Send the date, the times, how many are flying, the bags, any dog, and whether the aircraft should wait in Copenhagen, by WhatsApp or the form below.
  2. 02 A shortlist of aircraft Two or three suitable aircraft, each with its layout, its hold and a written price for the one-way flight or the return.
  3. 03 Operator checks We confirm the operator holds an Air Operator Certificate for the aircraft and check its insurance, its availability and, for London City, its approval for the steep approach, before you choose.
  4. 04 Confirmation You sign the operator's contract and pay by bank transfer or crypto; the operator requests the arrival time at Kastrup or Roskilde with the flight plan.
  5. 05 Passports and terminal details Names and passport details go to the operator, which reports the flight to UK Border Force before departure and sends the passenger list ahead to Denmark. Before the day we send the terminal at each end, the registration and the crew's names.
  6. 06 Ground transfers A car in London and one at the private terminal in Copenhagen, timed to your landing, and waiting for the return on a day trip.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a private jet from London to Copenhagen cost?

Indicative one-way prices for the whole aircraft start at about €11,000 in a light jet, €13,500 in a midsize jet, €17,500 in a super-midsize jet and €24,000 in a heavy jet, from Farnborough. Handling, parking and any positioning are quoted separately, and a day return with the aircraft waiting at Kastrup is usually priced well below two one-way flights.

How long is the flight from London to Copenhagen?

About 1 hour 50 minutes in a light jet, stand to stand, and about 1 hour 35 in a heavy jet. Denmark is an hour ahead of London, so a flight leaving at 8 am lands at about 10.50 local time; Kastrup is then 15 to 25 minutes from the centre by car.

Which Copenhagen airport does a private jet use?

Copenhagen Airport at Kastrup for almost every flight: it takes any cabin, is open around the clock and clears passengers in the executive area at Terminal 2. Copenhagen Roskilde, 35 to 45 minutes west of the centre, has a 1,799 m runway and suits light, midsize and most super-midsize jets.

Do I need a passport to fly privately from London to Copenhagen?

Yes. Denmark is in the Schengen area, so passports are checked on arrival in the private terminal, and non-EU travellers are registered in the EU's Entry/Exit System on their first visit. British passport holders need no visa for up to 90 days in any 180.

Can my dog fly with me to Copenhagen?

Yes, in the cabin. From Great Britain a dog needs a microchip, a rabies vaccination given at least 21 days before travel and an animal health certificate issued within ten days of travel; Denmark requires no tapeworm treatment. Denmark bans some breeds, including the pit bull terrier, so we check the breed first.

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.
