Rhenish Elegance at the Heart of Europe

Frankfurt, the financial heart of Germany and Europe, is a dynamic metropolis that combines modern skyscrapers with historic charm. Its central location makes it an essential economic and cultural hub.

Which aircraft for a flight
to or from Frankfurt

Frankfurt am Main Airport accommodates all types of private jets, from turboprops to long-range aircraft, thanks to its 4,000-meter runways. However, the private terminal is open from 5 AM to 11 PM, and a night curfew prohibits flights outside these hours. Your aircraft choice will therefore depend on distance and passenger count. Here are the three scenarios.

For intra-European hops, a light jet or super-light jet is more than sufficient. A turboprop remains a viable option for the shortest distances (Zurich, Stuttgart), although bizav demand in Frankfurt leans towards jets. The cabin is comfortable for 2 to 5 passengers for these durations.

Estimated private jet charter prices from Frankfurt

The distances and durations below are indicative for a private jet from Frankfurt-Main (EDDF). The actual price depends on the chosen aircraft, number of passengers, period (Messe schedule, ECB weeks, conference season), and availability.

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

An empty leg to or from Frankfurt 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 in Frankfurt

In Frankfurt, the primary price factor is not the season, it’s the Messe schedule. Every major trade fair (Automechanika in September, Frankfurter Buchmesse in October, Ambiente in February…) compresses aircraft availability and drives up prices, sometimes weeks before opening. Booking three to four weeks in advance is the rule during these periods.

Next, airport choice. EDDF (Frankfurt-Main) accommodates international flights with customs, all aircraft categories, but imposes slots (reserved takeoff or landing times) and handling in a very busy environment. Egelsbach (EDFE), 10 km away, is suitable for light jets within the Schengen area, without international customs, with simplified logistics and lower handling costs.

Finally, the Nachtflugverbot. The legal night curfew at EDDF (23:00-05:00) is one of Europe’s strictest: no planned private flights are allowed during this window, except in proven emergencies. A late departure or arrival must therefore be scheduled before 23:00, which can influence aircraft choice and total travel time.

AIRPORTS & PRIVATE SERVICES

EDDF or Egelsbach: which gateway for your private jet to Frankfurt?

Frankfurt-Main (EDDF / FRA) is 12 km west of the city center, 20 to 30 minutes depending on traffic. Four runways, including two 4,000-meter runways (07C/25C and 07R/25L), a third 4,000-meter runway (18/36), and a 2,800-meter runway, at 111 meters (364 ft): the length does not block a loaded long-haul aircraft. Jet A-1 is permanently available, as are customs and immigration, 24/7. Before confirming the flight, airport approval, a PPR (Prior Permission Required), is needed.

The private terminal only accommodates passengers from 05:00 to 23:00 local time. From 23:00 to 05:00, a legal curfew, confirmed by the German Federal Administrative Court, prohibits all planned flights, private or commercial, except in proven emergencies. A dinner that extends beyond 23:00 cannot be caught up on the same evening. At 10 km (5 NM), Egelsbach (EDFE / QEF), open from 08:00 to 21:00, is suitable for light jets remaining within the Schengen area.

Upon your arrival

You arrive at the private terminal, away from the commercial halls. Customs and passport control are done on site.

The car picks you up at the foot of the aircraft: 20 to 25 minutes for the Bankenviertel, the ECB in the Ostend district or the Römerberg, and 25 to 30 minutes for the Messe Frankfurt halls.

From Egelsbach, the vehicle awaits you at FAS Frankfurt Aviation Service and reaches the center in 20 to 30 minutes.

Technical specifics for Frankfurt
Your PJC broker handles everything

If arrival slips past midnight

An arrival scheduled before 23:00 can still land until midnight, if the delay is not your fault. After midnight, the aircraft must divert to another airport. Medical, weather, and health emergencies remain possible throughout the night. This is one of the strictest curfews in Europe: takeoff time is set before 23:00, not after.

Slots are reserved, especially during Messe

Frankfurt is Level 3 coordinated: every takeoff and landing, including private jets, needs a slot allocated by the coordinator. The request is submitted in advance to the company handling the aircraft on the ground. During major Messe fairs, these slots become scarce: a late application results in an imposed schedule, or another day.

Egelsbach, short runway and no customs

Frankfurt-Egelsbach is Germany's largest general aviation airfield. Its 1,400-meter runway accommodates light jets and turboprops, mainly under visual flight rules, when weather permits. There are no international customs: a flight outside the Schengen area cannot pass through. Services are provided by FAS Frankfurt Aviation Service, with simpler logistics and lower costs.

Why we come here for business

The financial capital of the Eurozone

Frankfurt am Main concentrates, within a few kilometers, the European Central Bank (ECB, Sonnemannstrasse 20, Ostend district), the Deutsche Börse AG (operator of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange), the German or European headquarters of major global banks, and the headquarters of groups like Commerzbank, DWS, and numerous international consulting firms. It’s not just another business hub: it’s the city where Eurozone monetary policy is decided and where key interest rates that guide billions in assets are set.

For business aviation, this concentration changes the nature of flights: trips are often short (Paris, London, Zurich) or intercontinental (New York, Dubai, Singapore), with few intermediate durations. Delegations arrive within very tight windows around committee dates, ECB publications, or fund roadshows. EDDF is calibrated for this: available slots, professional GAT, 24/7 customs.

Messe Calendar

Trade Fairs that Drive Private Traffic

Frankfurt doesn’t have a private jet tourist season: it has a Messe calendar. Major trade fairs attract thousands of international professional visitors over five days, with private jet arrivals two to three days before opening. These windows compress slots at EDDF and drive up handling fees.
Early February
Ambiente International trade fair for consumer goods, tableware, and design at Messe Frankfurt. Exclusively professional, buyers and brands from around the world. Dense bizav flow from Paris, Milan, London.
September (biennial, even years)
Automechanika Frankfurt World leader in the automotive aftermarket, at Messe Frankfurt. 2026 edition: September 8-12. Over 112,000 trade visitors from 173 countries according to 2026 figures.
October
Frankfurter Buchmesse The world's largest book fair since 1949. 2026 edition: October 7-11, Guest of Honor Czech Republic. 4,350 exhibitors and over 238,000 visitors recorded in 2025.
All year round
ECB and Deutsche Börse Agenda Meetings of the ECB Governing Council, quarterly publications, and roadshows by major funds create a regular flow of travel, without a marked seasonal peak but consistently present.
Formalities and safety

Formalities, safety and private flight regulations in Germany

Private jet travelers to Germany must verify entry requirements with competent authorities, as formalities vary by nationality, country of origin, itinerary, and aircraft operation type. Contact the national civil aviation authority for specific private flight regulations and consult official travel advice for border, customs, and immigration procedures.

Thorough preparation ensures compliance and avoids delays.

Experiences on the ground

Iconic Activities and Cultural Discoveries

Beyond its financial role, Frankfurt offers a wealth of activities for all tastes. Art and history enthusiasts will appreciate the Museumsufer (Museum Embankment), home to a dozen prestigious museums, including the Städel Museum and the Museum of Modern Art.

A stroll through the historic Römerberg district, with its reconstructed half-timbered houses, offers a charming glimpse into old Frankfurt. For a more contemporary experience, the Sachsenhausen district is renowned for its traditional taverns serving local apple wine (Apfelwein) and its lively nightlife.

Shopping enthusiasts will find their paradise on Zeil, one of Germany’s busiest shopping streets. Whether you’re in town for a short stay or an extended period, our private jet charter services allow you to maximize your time and fully enjoy every moment.

We take into account your preferences, passenger count, preferred aircraft type and schedule to propose the best option — comfort, flexibility and discretion included.

03

EDDF or Egelsbach: which airport for my private jet?

EDDF (Frankfurt-Main) is the default choice for international flights, large jets, and any non-Schengen passenger: customs are permanent, and the four runways accommodate all aircraft. Egelsbach (EDFE) is an alternative for light jets and turboprops in the Schengen area only, with simplified handling and often lower costs. Both are 12 to 15 km from the city center.

04

What is the Nachtflugverbot, and how does it affect my flight?

The Nachtflugverbot is Frankfurt’s legal night curfew, confirmed by the German Federal Administrative Court: no planned takeoffs or landings are allowed between 23:00 and 05:00 local time, whether for a commercial or private flight. Only proven emergencies (weather, medical repatriation) are exceptions. In practice, a planned flight must be scheduled before 23:00. If your meeting ends late, this is a parameter to consider when booking.

05

How long does it take to reach the city center, the ECB, or the Messe from the airport?

From the GAT at Frankfurt-Main, allow 20 to 25 minutes for the Bankenviertel (financial district), the ECB (Ostend district), or the Römerberg, and 25 to 30 minutes for the Messe Frankfurt halls. Traffic can extend this time during peak hours or a major trade fair.

06

Do I need to book a slot to land in Frankfurt?

Yes. EDDF is a Level 3 coordinated airport: every movement, including in business aviation, requires a slot allocated by the coordinator. We handle this as part of the charter, but it requires anticipation, especially during Messe weeks or around ECB meetings. Outside these peaks, bizav slots are generally available with a few days’ notice.

07

What aircraft can land at Frankfurt-Main?

All of them. The 4,000-meter runways and an altitude of only 111m pose no performance constraints. From turboprops to Gulfstream G700s, Global 7500s, or Airbus ACJs, all aircraft are admitted. The choice depends on distance, group size, and budget, not runway limitations.

08

Can private jets arrive with passengers from outside the Schengen area?

Yes. EDDF’s GAT has permanent customs and immigration (designated transit airport). Non-Schengen passengers enter or transit normally with their usual travel documents. For Egelsbach (EDFE), there are no customs on site: this option is only suitable for intra-Schengen flights.
