Leave London after dinner and land in Dubai for breakfast. Four private airports around the capital, a non-stop flight of about seven hours, and immigration cleared in the terminal before the car pulls up.
Bank transfer or cryptoPriced in US dollars for this route.
London to Dubai is about 3,400 miles, which a heavy or ultra-long-range jet flies non-stop in six and a half to seven hours. Dubai runs three hours ahead of London in summer and four in winter, so the classic pattern is a late-evening departure that lands early the next morning, rested, with the whole day ahead.
The private terminals at both ends do the rest. In London you drive to the aircraft at Farnborough or Luton and are airborne within fifteen minutes of arriving. In Dubai, passport control and customs happen inside the FBO lounge, and the chauffeur is waiting on the apron side of the door.
Because the route is flown so often, aircraft based in London, Dubai and the Gulf are all in play, 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; overnight parking in Dubai, repositioning and handling are quoted separately once we know your dates.
A return with the aircraft waiting in Dubai for a few days is usually priced well below two one-way flights. Tell us your dates and we confirm the figure in writing, in dollars or the currency you prefer.

Figures in US dollars, one way, indicative. Bank transfer in any major currency; crypto also accepted.
Super-midsize jets need a fuel stop, usually in Cyprus or Turkey, adding about an hour to the journey.
London has more private airports than any other city in Europe. The choice comes down to where you start, how late you want to leave, and how large the aircraft is.
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.
Dubai has two airports of its own and a third next door in Sharjah. Al Maktoum carries most private traffic these days; Dubai International puts you closer to Downtown and DIFC at a higher fee and with tighter slots.
Flying private to Dubai from anywhere: airports, aircraft and prices
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.
Non-stop London to Dubai needs a heavy or ultra-long-range cabin. Two aircraft in our own fleet, the Legacy 650 and the Gulfstream G650, both do it comfortably; for larger groups the Lineage 1000 and the VIP airliners follow. Super-midsize jets can fly the route with a fuel stop, which trades an hour for a lower price.
Aircraft pages for this route: Bombardier Challenger 350, Embraer Praetor 600, Bombardier Challenger 605, Embraer Legacy 650, Dassault Falcon 7X, Gulfstream G650, Embraer Lineage 1000, Airbus Corporate Jets, Boeing Business Jets, Airbus ACJ319neo, Boeing BBJ 737 MAX 7, Boeing BBJ 787-8.
Twelve to fourteen seats, a stand-up cabin and a range that covers the route with margin. The Legacy 650 in our fleet is the usual first proposal.
See the Legacy 650Thirteen to sixteen seats, a quieter cabin and a lower altitude feel for a better night's sleep. The Gulfstream G650 in our fleet flies London to Dubai in about six and a half hours.
See the Gulfstream G650Eighteen seats and above in the Embraer Lineage 1000, Airbus Corporate Jet or Boeing Business Jet, with bedrooms and a full galley, from Stansted or Luton.
See the whole fleetDubai's season runs from November to April, and on these dates the aircraft based in the Gulf are spoken for early. A week or two of notice keeps the choice of cabin open.
The return leaves from Al Maktoum, Dubai International or Sharjah and lands at whichever London airport suits the rest of your day. Westbound the headwinds add thirty to forty-five minutes, so allow seven to seven and a half hours in the air.
Two things to plan for. Farnborough closes at 10 pm and Biggin Hill at 11 pm, so an evening departure from Dubai usually means an arrival at Luton or Stansted. And during the winter season, Dubai departure slots and overnight parking are the scarce resources, so we secure the return at the moment we book the outbound.
A one-way charter starts at around $47,000 in a super-midsize jet with a fuel stop, about $65,000 non-stop in a heavy jet, $88,000 in an ultra-long-range jet, and from $155,000 for a VIP airliner, for the whole aircraft. Overnight parking, repositioning and handling are quoted separately once we know your dates.
About six and a half to seven hours non-stop in a heavy or ultra-long-range jet. Super-midsize jets need a fuel stop, which adds roughly an hour. The return into the headwind takes thirty to forty-five minutes longer.
Yes, in a heavy jet or larger. The Legacy 650, Falcon 900LX, Gulfstream G450 and above all fly London to Dubai without a stop. Lighter cabins refuel on the way, usually in Cyprus or Turkey.
From London: Farnborough, Luton, Biggin Hill and Stansted, with London City for smaller aircraft that make a fuel stop. Into Dubai: Al Maktoum International, which has the dedicated business-aviation terminal, Dubai International for the shortest drive to Downtown, and Sharjah as the alternative.
Both are cleared inside the private terminal at each end, usually in a few minutes. UK passport holders receive a visa on arrival in the UAE; for other nationalities we confirm the requirement when we book. Passport details go to the operator in advance so the handler is ready.
Yes, in the cabin. The UAE requires an import permit, microchip, vaccination record and health certificate in advance, and we arrange the paperwork with the handler when we book. Allow a week or two for the permit.
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.
Yes. We coordinate chauffeured cars on both ends, so a car meets you at the aircraft in Dubai, whether you are heading to Downtown, the Palm or straight to a meeting in DIFC.
