Charter a Private Jet to/from the UK

When you're looking for an exclusive way to travel, there are few options better than chartering your very own private jet.

Quick getaways, stag / hen parties, company retreats or incentives, a sudden business trip - all possible using a private jet.

Flights from the UK to all over Europe are available, and if you have a group of 6 or more, they might not be as costly as you'd think.

Of course, private jet charter also brings a host of benefits which simply aren't available from any commercial flight.

Benefits include:

10-20 minute check-in

Flying on YOUR specific schedule

Bespoke catering*

Less restrictions on luggage

Avoid the main airport terminals

More choice / flexibility on destination

(* Subject to additional cost in some cases)

If you've not chartered previously the process can seem daunting, how do you know the jet you're flying on is safe, well maintained? Are the crew properly trained? There are many questions you may wish to ask.

As an experienced professional brokerage service, Intelli.Jet will answer your questions, and guide you along the path to the very best that aviation has to offer.

FAQ's

Which UK Airports can be used?

London (Luton, RAF Northolt, Biggin Hill, Stansted, City, Farnborough), Oxford, Birmingham, Gloucester, Cranfield, Cambridge, Norwich, Southend, Blackbushe, Southampton, Bournemouth, Bristol, East Midlands, Newquay, Cardiff, Liverpool, Manchester, Leeds/Bradford (including Leeds East), Chester (Hawarden), Blackpool, Newcastle, Teeside, Humberside, Edinburgh, Glasgow (including Prestwick), Inverness, Dundee, Belfast (City & International).

London Heathrow and Gatwick can be used, but due to slot restrictions and high landing/handling fees, these airports come at a massive premium.

Are there restrictions on luggage?

In short, no. Obviously there is a maximum limit on the amount of luggage any jet can carry, so if you have an 8 seat jet with only 2 passengers on board, you'll be able to take a lot. Smaller jets carry a lot less, but the charterer will be advised of any specific luggage restrictions for their particular charter.

If the main airport terminals are not used, how do I know where to go?

Great question. Prior to your flight, you'll recieve a document called a "Flight Brief". This outlines all the relevant details for the flight, including the crew names, and where/when to report at the airports of departure.

What is included in the quoted price for a charter flight?

Pretty much everything. Intelli.Jet quotes include ALL the usual costs, fuel, crew costs, landing and handling fees, standard catering (snacks etc), tea, coffee, and in many cases, open bar. What is usually NOT included is any special catering requirements (vegan, halal, vegitarian, kosher, specific alcoholic drinks), or any aircraft de-icing that is required. How much de-icing costs will vary by size of the jet & the type and amount of de-icing fluid used. These de-icing costs are charged post flight.

De-icing can be very expensive indeed (000's of £/$/€) and subsequently, many operators now offer an optional 'insurance' which is paid prior to the flight to cover these costs - good idea in winter months as it prevents unexpected de-icing bills being charged.
