Which aircraft for a flight
to or from Cologne

Cologne Bonn Airport is one of the few in Germany that can accommodate all types of private jets, from turboprops to long-range aircraft, 24/7. Its long 3,815-meter runway and absence of a curfew offer you total flexibility. The choice of your aircraft will therefore depend solely on the distance to be covered and the number of passengers.

Rates & Routes

Estimated Private Jet Charter Prices to Cologne

The distances and durations below are indicative for a private jet from Cologne Bonn (EDDK/CGN). The actual price depends on the chosen aircraft, the number of passengers, the period (Gamescom, Anuga, Carnival, Rhenish Christmas) and availability.

Route	Duration	Light Jet 6-8 pax	Midsize Jet 7-9 pax	Super Midsize Jet 8-12 pax	Heavy Jet 10-14 pax

An empty leg to Cologne,
if the sky lines up.

An empty leg to or from Cologne is a repositioning flight already on the schedule: the aircraft needs to reach another base or its next mission. These trips are offered at a reduced fare, often around 30% to 75% off a classic charter, in exchange for less flexibility on dates and routing.

On every enquiry, we systematically scan the sky for these opportunities. The goal: whenever possible, a more competitive quote, on price as well as on the aircraft category available.

Understanding the Price

What determines the price of a private flight to Cologne

In Cologne, the first price peak of the year arrives in August with Gamescom: the world’s largest video game fair, hosted at Koelnmesse, the event attracts hundreds of thousands of professional and general public visitors over a week. Bizav aircraft are in high demand for three to four days around the opening, from Paris, London, Amsterdam, Scandinavia. Anticipating three to four weeks minimum is the norm during this period.

The Cologne Carnival (Kölner Karneval) in February, one of Europe’s largest, generates a shorter but real peak in private traffic, especially from European capitals. imm cologne (furniture, January) and Anuga (biennial food fair, October of odd-numbered years) each create their own window of high demand.

Regarding pricing structure, Cologne Bonn’s 24/7 advantage plays a concrete role: a flight scheduled for a late or very early hour does not require a destination upgrade or rerouting to another airport (unlike German airports subject to Nachtflugverbot). This flexibility can, in some cases, reduce the total cost of a trip whose schedule depends on meeting availability rather than airport time constraints.

AIRPORT & PRIVATE SERVICES

Private Flights to Cologne from Cologne Bonn Airport

Cologne Bonn Airport (EDDK / CGN) is approximately 15 km southeast of Cologne city center, 20 to 30 minutes depending on traffic, at 302 ft (92 m). Three runways: the main one (13L/31R) is 3,815 m x 60 m asphalt, the secondary (06/24) is 2,459 m x 45 m concrete, and the third (13R/31L) is 1,863 m x 45 m. A loaded long-haul aircraft is not limited by length. Jet A-1 arrives by tanker truck, max capacity 80 m³.

Open 24/7, permanent customs (airport of entry), no legal night curfew. A late arrival or pre-dawn departure is confirmed as a daytime flight. The private terminal is approximately 550 m northwest of runway 13R/31L. Two hangars for visitors: Hangar 3 (100 x 65 m, 14 m door, heated) and Hangar 1 (70 x 30 m, 5.5 m door, unheated). Fire safety level 10, the highest ICAO standard: the largest aircraft are covered.

Ground welcome

You land. Everything is already in place.

Upon your arrival

You arrive at the private terminal, away from the main terminal. Customs clearance is done on site for an international flight outside the Schengen area.

The car picks you up at the foot of the aircraft: 20 to 30 minutes to the historic center of Cologne (cathedral, Altstadt), 30 to 40 minutes to Bonn and its institutions, the former federal capital.

Door-to-door service

Your journey doesn't end on the runway

From the Cologne Bonn GAT, your vehicle will meet you directly at the aircraft. Allow 20 to 30 minutes for Cologne city center (cathedral, Altstadt, Deutzer Brücke) depending on traffic. Bonn, the former federal capital and Beethoven's city, is 30 to 40 minutes south. For the media district (Mediapark) or RTL Group headquarters, the journey is approximately 25 minutes.

Helicopter transfer

Connection to the Rhine Valley, the Ardennes, or surrounding areas

A helicopter transfer allows you to reach addresses in the Rhine Valley, the Belgian Ardennes, or the shores of Lake Ahrweiler, without using the motorway. The segment is coordinated from a platform near the airport and is timed to your actual landing time.

An arrival at 01:30 remains a normal flight

According to the DFS AIP, flights are permitted 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. An arrival at 01:30 or a departure at 04:00 can be planned without special permission, which unblocks a tight schedule, an aircraft repositioning, or an intercontinental connection. Before departure, temporary restrictions are checked: they can close a slot even without a permanent curfew.

FedEx and UPS cargo, useful for private jets

Cologne Bonn is one of FedEx and UPS's main European cargo hubs, with 845,000 tons of freight handled in 2024 according to airport data. This leaves reinforced concrete areas, full de-icing, and an electrical backup that restarts in 0.4 seconds. For your flight, fewer closures for maintenance, and rare equipment for an airport of this size.

Easier slot, except for Gamescom and Anuga

Slots, movement times reserved in advance, are managed, but it's not the level 3 of Frankfurt or Amsterdam: outside of peak times, they are easier to find. PPR (Prior Permission Required) is not required for a standard flight, to be confirmed with the company hosting the aircraft. During Gamescom or Anuga, submit the application one to two weeks in advance. Customs is on site for a flight outside the Schengen area.

Cologne's Discreet Advantage

24/7 with no curfew: what it changes for your private flight

Most major airports in Central Europe impose strict legal night restrictions: no flights scheduled between 11:00 PM and 05:00 AM, sometimes between 10:00 PM and 06:00 AM. These constraints force schedule restructuring, rerouting to a secondary airport, or foregoing a late departure. At Cologne Bonn, the AIP DFS confirms 24/7 operations with no planned restrictions of this type.

Concretely, this enables scenarios impossible elsewhere: a departure to the Gulf at 02:00 AM to reach Dubai or Riyadh in the early morning, a late arrival after a business dinner in Paris or London without having to return the next day, a night fleet repositioning to be in place at dawn. For operators managing multiple aircraft or multi-leg itineraries, Cologne’s flexibility changes the overall logistics of a trip.

Cologne Bonn was also designed as a night cargo hub for FedEx and UPS, which led the airport to maintain robust infrastructure at all hours: ground crews, fuel services, de-icing capability. This equipment exists at night, not just on paper.

Rhenish Calendar

Events that drive private traffic in Cologne

Cologne does not have a distinct tourist season for private jets: it has a dense event calendar, built around the major trade fairs at Koelnmesse, Carnival, and business expos. These windows compress aircraft availability and raise rates for three to four days around each opening.

Late January

imm cologne International furniture and interior design fair at Koelnmesse. Buyers and brands from around the world over four to five days. Bizav traffic from Milan, Paris, Scandinavia.

February (variable by calendar)

Kölner Karneval Cologne Carnival, dubbed the fifth season, culminates on Rosenmontag (Rose Monday) with a parade several kilometers long. One of Europe's largest popular gatherings: several days of festivities, private attendance from neighboring capitals.

August (last week)

Gamescom World's largest video game fair, hosted at Koelnmesse since 2009. Approximately 300,000 visitors over five days, including a professional trade show (Business Area) on the first two days. Major bizav peak from all over Europe and the United States. Anticipate three to four weeks in advance.

November (odd years)

Anuga The world's largest food and agro-food industry fair, held in Cologne in October/November of odd-numbered years. Over 7,000 exhibitors from 100 countries. Dense professional traffic from the Middle East, Asia, and the Americas.

Experiences on the ground

Iconic Activities and Attractions in Cologne

Cologne is brimming with activities and sights to discover. Cologne Cathedral (Kölner Dom), a UNESCO World Heritage site, is undoubtedly the most famous attraction.

Its imposing spires dominate the city and offer spectacular views. Art and history enthusiasts will appreciate the numerous museums, such as the Ludwig Museum, home to an impressive collection of modern art, and the Roman-Germanic Museum.

For a cultural immersion, a stroll through the Old Town (Altstadt) is a must, with its colorful houses and traditional breweries where you can sample Kölsch, the local beer. The banks of the Rhine also offer beautiful opportunities for cruises or relaxing walks.

For business travelers, trade shows and international fairs, such as Anuga or Gamescom, are major events that attract thousands of visitors each year. Booking a private flight allows you to arrive at these major events stress-free and with maximum time for business.
