Private Jet Charter in London – Europe's Leading Financial Hub

London, the capital of the United Kingdom, is Europe's leading financial hub and one of the world's most active business aviation markets. The City, Canary Wharf, and Mayfair concentrate thousands of decision-makers for whom every travel hour counts.

Farnborough Airport (FAB), the country's only airport 100% dedicated to business aviation, is the natural gateway to the capital…

Which aircraft for a flight
to or from London

Farnborough's runway (2,440m) accommodates all aircraft on the market without restriction, from VLJs to Boeing Business Jets. Three profiles to cover the spectrum; your agent will refine the choice based on the route, group size, and time constraints related to airport curfews.

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

An empty leg to or from London 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 flight to London

London generates bizav demand all year round, driven by the City and Canary Wharf, two of the world’s leading financial centers. Quarterly earnings weeks, IPOs, and major M&A transactions create unpredictable peaks that do not follow the solar calendar. For a business trip with a fixed date, booking early remains the rule.

The first half of the year is busy with events: Royal Ascot in June, Wimbledon in July, and the British Grand Prix at Silverstone, often in the same week, concentrate record demand over 30 days. Summer remains active, with Mayfair and the rural properties of Surrey bringing in the leisure market; September-October reverts to pure finance, with London Fashion Week and the season of major deals. December and the New Year period are the year’s family peak.

A structural point specific to the UK since Brexit: any flight to or from the European Union is an international flight outside the Schengen area. Customs and immigration formalities apply even for a private jet; TAG’s Farnborough terminal handles them on-site, but preparing authorizations in advance remains essential. This non-EU status can also affect aircraft repositioning: an aircraft based in France might return empty from Paris to pick up a London client, a factor to be included in the quote from the initial request.

AIRPORT & PRIVATE SERVICES

Which Business Aviation Airport for London

London has several airports designed for private jets. The right choice depends on the address, aircraft type, and arrival time. Farnborough (EGLF / FAB), 55 km southwest of the city center, is the only airport in the UK entirely dedicated to business aviation: no commercial flights, a single terminal managed by TAG Farnborough Airport, customs and immigration on-site. Its 2,440 m runway (runway 06/24) accommodates all aircraft on the market, from VLJ to Boeing Business Jet. It is the gateway to Mayfair, Belgravia, the City, and Surrey properties, via the M3 and A31.

For the north, Luton (EGGW / LTN) has the largest volume of private movements in the region, three competing private terminals, and a direct train to St Pancras in 28 minutes. Biggin Hill (EGKB / BQH), to the southeast, 20 km from the center, does not require a slot reservation and can get a helicopter to the heart of the City in six minutes: it is the fastest for Canary Wharf and the Docklands. London City (EGLC / LCY) is the airport for bankers and fund managers in the Docklands: three miles from Canary Wharf, transfer by DLR in five minutes. Its 1,508 m runway, with a 5.5° approach (double the standard), only accepts a certified list of light jets and excludes heavy aircraft.

Ground welcome

You land. Everything is already in place.

Upon Your Arrival

At Farnborough, the TAG terminal does not have a public hall: luggage goes directly to the car side, customs and immigration in the building in a few minutes, car at the foot of the stairs.

The Aviator Hotel, adjacent to the airfield, with rooms overlooking the runway, serves for an overnight stop or a very early departure, without leaving the airport perimeter.

Technical specifics for London
Your PJC broker handles everything

Farnborough closes in the evening and on Christmas

The airport is open Monday to Friday from 0700 to 2200, and on Saturday, Sunday, and public holidays from 0800 to 2000, local time. It is closed on December 25 and 26. All movements require prior permission (PPR) via Farnborough Airport Ops. For a transatlantic flight arriving late in the evening, the remaining open hours should be checked before choosing FAB.

Sustainable fuel, on request

Farnborough is one of the first UK airports to offer SAF (Sustainable Aviation Fuel) alongside conventional JET A-1. It can be requested from TAG Farnborough Airport when preparing the flight. In March 2025, the airport signed a contract for 12.5 million liters of waste-derived SAF.

London City: the aircraft must be approved

Only approved aircraft can land there: Embraer Phenom 100/300, Citation CJ4, HondaJet, certain Learjets, and a few other light jets. The approach is steep, and takeoff must remain quiet. A heavy jet or a super-midsize cannot use LCY. Aircraft certification and crew qualification must be checked before choosing London City.

Bizav Context

The Farnborough Air Show, when the tarmac becomes the aviation planet

Every two years, in July of even-numbered years, Farnborough Airport ceases to be merely London’s most efficient gateway and becomes the global gathering of aerospace. The Farnborough International Airshow brings together, for a week, on FAB’s very runways, the largest manufacturers, institutional buyers, and thousands of industry professionals. It is the global benchmark for bizav: parking lots are fully booked months in advance, temporary terminals are installed to absorb the flow, and the slot booking horizon shifts from a few days to several months.

What this practically changes: during the show week, landing at Farnborough without having coordinated the operation well in advance is almost impossible. TAG manages this peak with well-oiled organization, but parking slots and handling areas are scarce. Alternatives like Luton, Biggin Hill, or even Stansted (EGSS/STN) for large aircraft coming from afar, then take over. Conversely, for aerospace and bizav professionals themselves, landing at FAB during show week is a statement of positioning, and those who book early can do so smoothly. In 2024, the airport recorded 29,702 total movements for the year, with a planning limit set at 50,000 annual movements by agreement with local authorities.

Formalities and safety

Formalities, safety and private flight regulations in the United Kingdom

Private jet travelers to the United Kingdom must check entry requirements such as ETA for visa-exempt nationals, valid passport, and customs formalities, which vary by nationality, origin, itinerary, and aircraft operation type.

Comply with national aviation authority rules for private flights and consult official travel advice for safety and restrictions. Always contact authorities for specific guidance.

Experiences on the ground

Iconic Activities and London Experiences

London is brimming with iconic activities and sights that captivate every visitor. From the majestic Buckingham Palace to the historically rich Tower of London, and world-renowned museums like the British Museum and the National Gallery, the cultural offering is immense.

Shopping enthusiasts will find their paradise at Harrods or on Bond Street, while theatre lovers can catch a musical in the West End. For breathtaking city views, the London Eye is a must-see.

Our private flight clients appreciate the flexibility that jet charter offers them to organize their schedule without constraints, allowing them to fully enjoy these unique experiences. Whether for a major sporting event, an art exhibition, or dinner at a Michelin-starred restaurant, private jet charter ensures a stress-free arrival and departure.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know to arrange a private flight to or from London with Private Jets Connect.

01

How do I book a private jet to or from London?

To book a private jet to or from London, simply contact Private Jets Connect. Our experts are available 24/7 to help organize your tailored flight. We take into account your preferences, passenger count, preferred aircraft type and schedule to propose the best option — comfort, flexibility and discretion included.

02

Who can book a private flight to or from London?

Private Jets Connect is your dedicated partner for private jet bookings to or from London. As a specialized air charter broker, we give you access to our network of certified operators, personalized advice and end-to-end trip management from take-off to landing.

03

Farnborough or London City: which to choose based on my meeting address?

Farnborough (FAB) is suitable for the vast majority of private flights: all aircraft types, on-site customs, car or helicopter at the aircraft steps, and quick access to Mayfair, Belgravia, and the City via the M3. London City (LCY), three miles from Canary Wharf and five minutes by DLR, is relevant if your address is in the Docklands or the East financial district, provided the aircraft is certified for the 5.5° approach to its 1,508m runway. For a heavy jet or super-midsize, LCY is simply inaccessible, making FAB the necessary choice regardless of the final destination.

04

What aircraft can land at Farnborough, are there any size restrictions?

No, Farnborough imposes no category restrictions. Its 2,440m runway accommodates all aircraft on the market, from very light VLJs to Boeing Business Jets (BBJ) and Airbus Corporate Jets (ACJ). The only constraint is PPR (Prior Permission Required): all movements must be declared in advance to Farnborough Airport Ops. Large aircraft (heavy jets, ULR) and long-haul flights regularly land there; it is even one of the airport’s strengths compared to shorter runways like Biggin Hill (1,806 m) or London City (1,508 m).

05

How long does it take from landing at Farnborough to an address in the City of London?

Allow 50 to 60 minutes by car via the M3 and A316 for the Docklands, or 35 to 40 minutes for Mayfair and Belgravia during off-peak hours. For an address in the City with a tight schedule, a helicopter from Farnborough to Battersea Heliport takes about twenty minutes, regardless of road traffic; from Battersea, the City is then 10 to 15 minutes by car.

06

From the European Union, is a customs declaration required to arrive in London by private jet?

Yes. Since Brexit, any flight between the United Kingdom and the European Union is an international flight outside the Schengen area. Customs and immigration formalities apply in both directions, even for a private jet. At Farnborough, the TAG terminal handles these formalities on-site, without passing through a public hall: immigration and customs are finalized inside the building in a few minutes. However, authorizations must be prepared in advance: passenger declarations, entry permits if necessary, and aircraft documentation. Our team coordinates this with the operator before the flight.

07

Can I travel with a pet via Farnborough?

Yes. Since Brexit, the UK applies its own entry rules for pets, distinct from the European pet passport. An animal coming from the EU must have a pet passport compatible with UK requirements or an AHC (Animal Health Certificate) issued by an official veterinarian within ten days prior to travel, in addition to mandatory vaccinations (rabies) and echinococcus treatment for dogs entering the UK. Rules may change; checking them in advance with our team is essential to avoid any delays or refusal of entry.

08

Is Farnborough Airport open 24/7?

No. Farnborough operates Monday to Friday from 0700 to 2200, and Saturday, Sunday, and public holidays from 0800 to 2000 local time. It is closed on December 25th and 26th. A transatlantic flight arriving at 2300, or departing at 0600, cannot use FAB as is: alternatives are then Luton (EGGW), which can operate 24/7 with prior arrangement, or Stansted (EGSS) for heavy aircraft requiring a longer runway. We anticipate these constraints from the quoting phase to avoid disrupting the schedule.
