Over the top of the world

New York to Tokyo is 6,740 miles by the polar route, which only the longest-range cabins fly non-stop: the Gulfstream G650ER, the Global 7500 and the Global 8000 make Haneda in about thirteen and a half hours. Other ultra-long-range cabins stop in Anchorage and land about two hours later.

Tokyo is fourteen hours ahead of New York in winter, so a morning departure from Teterboro lands the following afternoon. Haneda's business-jet terminal is twenty minutes from Marunouchi and Roppongi, but its slots are rationed and released in advance, and overnight parking is capped, so the aircraft often positions to Narita after dropping you.

Passport and crew details go to the Japanese authorities in advance, so we ask for them early and handle the slot requests at both airports.

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

What the flight costs

Prices below are indicative one-way figures for the whole aircraft, not per seat. They cover the flight, crew, fuel and overflight permits; parking in Tokyo, repositioning and handling are quoted separately.

Haneda caps overnight parking, so most clients keep the aircraft at Narita or send it on. We price the options and 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.

Departure airports in New York

Teterboro handles most of New York's private departures, but it caps aircraft weight and closes to noisy movements overnight, so the largest cabins and some late flights go from Westchester, Newark or JFK.

Arrival airports in Tokyo

Tokyo has two airports for private flights. Haneda is twenty minutes from the centre but rations its business-jet slots, so they are requested weeks ahead. Narita is an hour further out with easier slots and parking.

Aircraft that fly it non-stop

Non-stop New York to Tokyo needs the very longest-range cabins: the Gulfstream G650 in our fleet in its ER form, the Global 7500 and the Global 8000. Other ultra-long-range jets fly it with a stop in Anchorage for a lower price. For the largest parties, a widebody BBJ 787 or ACJ350 flies it non-stop from JFK; a 737-based BBJ needs a light load.

Aircraft pages for this route: Gulfstream G700, Bombardier Global 7500, Airbus ACJ350, Boeing BBJ 787-8.

When Tokyo fills up

Tokyo's private airports are slot-controlled all year, and on these dates Haneda's business-jet slots are allocated a month or more ahead.

  1. Late March to April Cherry blossom season The busiest inbound fortnight of the year; Haneda slots are gone weeks before.
  2. Late April to early May Golden Week Japan's own holiday week. Outbound traffic peaks and parking at both airports is tight.
  3. April and October Formula 1 at Suzuka Race weekend pulls aircraft to Nagoya and Tokyo together.
  4. Mid-August Obon A domestic peak; Haneda is busy with outbound flights.
  5. November Autumn leaves A second leisure peak, quieter than spring but Haneda is still slot-controlled.
  6. New Year 1 to 3 January The country's main holiday; the airports are quiet but the ground services run reduced hours.

Tokyo to New York

The return leaves from Haneda or Narita and lands at Teterboro, Westchester, JFK or Newark. Eastbound the jet stream helps: allow about twelve and a half hours non-stop, and the time difference means an afternoon departure from Tokyo lands in New York the same afternoon.

Haneda's departure slots are the scarce resource, particularly in cherry-blossom season and Golden Week, so we secure the return slot at the moment we book the outbound and keep Narita as the fallback.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a private jet from New York to Tokyo cost?

Indicative one-way prices for the whole aircraft start at about $165,000 in an ultra-long-range jet, with a stop; about $195,000 in an ultra-long-range jet, non-stop; about $300,000 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.

How long is the flight?

About 13 and a half hours flight time 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.

Which airports can I use?

From New York: Teterboro, Westchester County, John F. Kennedy International and Newark Liberty. Into Tokyo: Tokyo Haneda and Tokyo Narita. Each is described above with its drive time and the operators that handle private flights there.

How do immigration and customs work on arrival?

Immigration and customs are cleared in the business-jet terminal at Haneda or Narita. Most nationalities enter visa-free for up to ninety days; passport and crew details go to the authorities in advance, so we ask for them early.

Can my dog travel with me?

Japan has strict animal quarantine rules. A dog or cat needs a microchip, two rabies vaccinations, a blood test and advance notification at least forty days before arrival; without it, quarantine applies. Tell us early.

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.

Do you arrange the car at each end?

Yes. We coordinate chauffeured cars on both ends, so a car meets you at the aircraft in Tokyo and the driver knows the airport's private terminal.

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.
