About eight and a half hours non-stop from Farnborough or Luton to Nashville International, the only Nashville airport with customs. Its officers clear private arrivals in the afternoon and evening, so the London departure is timed to land inside that window. Indicative one way from $66,000 for the whole aircraft in a super-midsize jet with one stop, or from $86,000 non-stop in a heavy jet.

Farnborough to Nashville International is 3,618 nautical miles, 4,164 statute miles: about 600 nautical miles further than London to New York and a little short of London to Miami. A heavy or ultra-long-range jet flies it non-stop; a super-midsize such as the Challenger 350 stops once for fuel.
Nashville is six hours behind London for most of the year. Leave Farnborough at 1 pm and an ultra-long-range jet lands at Nashville International around 3.30 pm local time, fifteen minutes from Broadway, with the evening ahead.
That afternoon arrival is deliberate. US Customs and Border Protection inspects private arrivals at Nashville International from 3 pm to 9 pm Central Time, and the permission to land is secured before the aircraft leaves London. A morning departure from London would land before the officers start, so we plan the flight backwards from the customs window.
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.
CBP's fact sheet for Nashville International (November 2024) gives inspection hours for arriving aircraft of 3 pm to 9 pm, seven days a week, with the office open from 2 pm to 10 pm Central Time. The operator requests permission to land from the office no later than two hours before the aircraft leaves London, and the landing time it is granted holds to within thirty minutes either side, so a long delay at Farnborough means a new request.
The same sheet names the busy periods, when private arrivals may wait behind airline flights: 6 pm to 9 pm from Sunday to Friday, and all Saturday afternoon. Clearance at the private terminal is arranged in advance; larger aircraft, and some passenger lists, are cleared at the international arrivals facility in the main terminal instead. We confirm the current hours and the place of clearance with the booking.
A non-stop flight from London lands at Nashville International, because it is the only Nashville airport with customs. Atlantic Aviation and Signature Aviation run its private terminals, and its 11,030 ft runway takes every cabin on this route, VIP airliners included. Downtown, the Gulch, Brentwood and Franklin are fifteen to twenty-five minutes by car.
John C. Tune, on the west side of the city, is closer to Belle Meade, the West End and Green Hills, but it has no customs. From London, the car usually runs from Nashville International after clearance. A flight that already stops for fuel can sometimes clear customs at a US port of entry on the way and continue to John C. Tune as a domestic flight; whether that works on your date, and for your aircraft, is the operator's decision when it plans the flight.
Prices below are indicative one-way figures for the whole aircraft, not per seat, from Farnborough to Nashville International for an aircraft that is already in London. They cover the flight, the crew and the fuel; repositioning, overnight parking in Nashville, the crew's hotel nights, handling, customs fees and taxes are quoted separately.
A return with the aircraft waiting in Nashville is usually priced well below two one-way flights. Tell us your dates and we confirm the figure in writing.
The hourly rate for each cabin, and what moves a quote up or down, are in our guide to private jet charter costs.
| Cabin | Typical aircraft | Seats | Flight time | Indicative one way, from |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Super-midsize jet | Challenger 350, Praetor 600 | 8 to 9 | 10h 15m with a fuel stop | $66,000 |
| Heavy jet | Falcon 900, Legacy 650, Gulfstream G450 | 12 to 14 | 9h non-stop | $86,000 |
| Ultra-long-range jet | Global 6000, G650, Falcon 7X | 13 to 16 | 8h 30m non-stop | $114,000 |
| VIP airliner | ACJ319neo, Boeing Business Jet | 18 to 40 | 8h 45m non-stop | $203,000 |
Figures in US dollars, one way, indicative, reviewed November 2026. Bank transfer in any major currency; crypto also accepted.
Super-midsize jets refuel on the way, usually in eastern Canada or the north-eastern United States, adding about an hour. Against strong winter headwinds a heavy jet with less range, such as the Legacy 650, may also stop; the operator decides when it plans the flight.
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.
Private jet airports in London compared: FBOs, customs and curfews
The UK's only dedicated business aviation airport. Open 7 am to 10 pm on weekdays and 8 am to 8 pm at weekends, so a late flight means Luton or Stansted.
Open around the clock, with a slot for every flight; night slots are rationed to the quietest aircraft. Takes large cabins.
The longest runway around London, so the usual home for Boeing and Airbus business jets. Open around the clock by slot, with restricted nights.
Nashville International is the usual arrival: about six miles from Broadway, with Atlantic Aviation and Signature Aviation on the ramp and a runway for any business jet. John C. Tune Airport, west of the city, is quieter and closer to Belle Meade, Music Row and the West End; Smyrna, south-east, suits Murfreesboro.
An 11,030 ft runway and a tower open around the clock, so any cabin up to a VIP airliner lands here. The only one of the three with customs: CBP inspects private arrivals from 3 pm to 9 pm Central Time, with permission to land secured before departure.
In London the choice follows where you start and when you leave. In Nashville a non-stop flight from abroad lands at one airport, and the drive depends on where you are staying.
| If you start in | Airport | Why |
|---|---|---|
| West London, Surrey and Berkshire | Farnborough (FAB) | Every business jet cabin; open 7 am to 10 pm on weekdays and 8 am to 8 pm at weekends and bank holidays. |
| North London, Hertfordshire, early or late departures | London Luton (LTN) | Open around the clock, though night slots are scarce, and takes every cabin size, VIP airliners included. |
| VIP airliners and the largest groups | London Stansted (STN) | The longest runway around London, 3,049 m, so the largest jets leave at full weight; open around the clock. |
| If you are going to | Airport | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Downtown, Broadway and the Gulch | Nashville International (BNA) | About six miles from Broadway, with customs and two private terminals. |
| Belle Meade, the West End and Green Hills | Nashville International (BNA) | Customs first, then the car west, about twenty-five minutes; John C. Tune, closer, has no customs. |
| Brentwood, Franklin and Williamson County | Nashville International (BNA) | South-east of Downtown, so the drive south on I-65 avoids the city centre. |
Biggin Hill and London City suit shorter flights: for an eight-hour leg at full fuel we start from Farnborough, Luton or Stansted. Drive times are approximate and depend on the hour. The prices above are for Farnborough to Nashville International.
Eight and a half hours west into the prevailing wind puts range and rest first. An ultra-long-range jet such as the Global 6000 flies it with margin and room to sleep; a heavy jet is the lower price for a non-stop crossing. A super-midsize stops once for fuel, which suits a smaller party with an eye on cost. VIP airliners carry the largest groups, a label team or a family with staff, from Stansted or Luton.
Thirteen to sixteen seats and room to sleep or work: the Global 6000, G650 or Falcon 7X, about eight and a half hours from Farnborough to Nashville International.
See the Global 6000Twelve to fourteen seats and a rest area at the back, in a Falcon 900 or Gulfstream G450, non-stop in about nine hours.
See the Falcon 900Eight or nine seats in a Challenger 350 or Praetor 600, the lowest price on the route, with one fuel stop and about ten and a quarter hours including it.
See the Challenger 350Nashville's private traffic follows the music calendar and the football season, and a big weekend downtown fills the ramps at both Nashville International and John C. Tune.
The return leaves Nashville International or John C. Tune for whichever London airport suits the rest of your day. Eastbound the jet stream helps, and the same aircraft is usually about an hour quicker. An evening departure from Nashville lands in London the next morning, when every London airport is open.
Before landing in London the operator files the passenger details with UK Border Force; most non-British visitors need a UK ETA or a visa.
Flying into London from somewhere else? The airports, aircraft and prices from each city are on our page for private jet charter to London.
Each route has its own page: flight time, the airports at both ends, the aircraft that suit the leg and an indicative price.
Indicative one-way prices for the whole aircraft start at about $66,000 in a super-midsize jet with a fuel stop, $86,000 in a heavy jet, $114,000 in an ultra-long-range jet such as a Global 6000 and $203,000 in a VIP airliner, from Farnborough to Nashville International. Repositioning, overnight parking, handling, customs fees and taxes are quoted separately once we know your dates.
About 8 hours 30 non-stop in an ultra-long-range jet and about 9 hours in a heavy jet. A super-midsize jet stops once for fuel and takes about 10 hours 15. The return is usually about an hour quicker, with the jet stream behind it.
CBP's fact sheet for Nashville International (November 2024) gives inspection hours of 3 pm to 9 pm Central Time, seven days a week. Permission to land is secured no later than two hours before departure from London, so we time the flight to land inside that window. ESTA or a visa is required for most nationalities; we confirm when we book.
Not non-stop, because John C. Tune has no customs, so flights from London land at Nashville International first. A flight that already stops for fuel can sometimes clear customs at a US port of entry on the way and continue to John C. Tune; the operator decides whether that works for your date and aircraft.
Usually, in the cabin, if the operator accepts pets on the aircraft. A dog entering the US needs a microchip and a CDC Dog Import Form, and the vaccination documents depend on where it has been in the previous six months. Tell us when you enquire and we confirm the operator's policy and the paperwork for your dog.
