Private Jet Charter UK

Starflight's UK headquarters is at Farnborough Airport, Hampshire — Europe's leading dedicated private aviation terminal. We operate UK and international charter from Farnborough as our primary base, and can also arrange departures from Luton, Biggin Hill, Stansted, Northolt, and any other UK airport capable of handling private aviation. We recommend the most practical departure point based on your location and destination.

Farnborough handles only business and private aviation — there are no commercial flights, no shared terminals, and no queues. From the moment you arrive, the experience is entirely your own. You can expect to go from car to cabin in under 15 minutes. The private terminal offers dedicated lounges, direct airside access, and a level of discretion impossible to replicate at a commercial airport. For clients who value time and privacy, it is the obvious choice.

Farnborough Airport is approximately 35 miles southwest of Central London — typically 45 to 60 minutes by road depending on traffic, or accessible by helicopter transfer from Central London in under 15 minutes. For many clients, the journey to Farnborough is considerably shorter than the journey to Heathrow or Gatwick, particularly from West London, Surrey, and Hampshire.

The most frequently booked routes from Farnborough and UK airports include:
» Farnborough to Nice, Monaco, and Cannes (South of France)
» Farnborough to Ibiza and Palma, Mallorca
» Farnborough to Geneva and Zurich
» Farnborough to Dubai and Abu Dhabi
» Farnborough to New York (Teterboro) — transatlantic
» UK domestic routes: London to Edinburgh, Manchester, Belfast

We can arrange flights to any destination accessible by private aviation — the above represents the most commonly requested, not the limit of what we offer.

Yes. Starflight arranges helicopter charters across the UK for city transfers, event logistics, and remote destination access. Common uses include London to country estates, event transfers (Glastonbury, Goodwood, Royal Ascot), and offshore access. Helicopters can depart from approved helipads including Battersea, Redhill, and Farnborough, and we can advise on the most practical routing for your specific journey.

Pricing depends on aircraft type, route, availability, and positioning. As a guide:
» Short European hops (e.g. Farnborough to Paris) — light jet from approximately £3,000–£6,000
» Mediterranean routes (e.g. Farnborough to Nice) — midsize jet from approximately £8,000–£15,000
» Transatlantic (e.g. Farnborough to Teterboro) — heavy jet from approximately £55,000–£90,000

These are indicative ranges only — live market pricing can vary significantly. The best way to get an accurate figure for your specific route is to send us an enquiry and we will respond quickly with real options.

Very quickly. We regularly arrange same-day and next-day charters from UK airports. Our team is available 24/7 with no voicemail, so if you call us at 11pm needing an aircraft in the morning, we will respond immediately and work to confirm options overnight. Short-notice bookings depend on aircraft availability and positioning, but the UK market is well-served and last-minute solutions are usually achievable.

In addition to Farnborough, we regularly arrange departures from:
» London Luton Airport
» Biggin Hill Airport, Kent
» London Oxford Airport
» RAF Northolt, West London
» London Stansted (general aviation terminal)
» Edinburgh, Manchester, Birmingham and other regional airports

We always advise on the most practical option for your journey — proximity to your departure address is often more important than airport prestige.

No. At Farnborough and most private aviation terminals, arriving 15 to 20 minutes before departure is standard. There are no check-in queues, no shared security lanes, and no departure boards to monitor. You arrive, clear a brief and efficient security process in the private terminal, and walk directly to the aircraft. The experience is designed around your schedule, not an airport's operational requirements.

In most cases, yes — pets are a common and manageable request on private charter flights. Domestic UK flights present the fewest complications. International departures require appropriate documentation including health certificates, vaccination records, and in some cases advance notification to destination countries. We will advise on the specific requirements for your route and ensure everything is arranged correctly. Pets have been known to travel considerably better on private charter than their owners on commercial flights.

Yes. Starflight's carbon programme is available on every booking, including UK domestic and short-haul European flights from Farnborough. Through our 4AIR partnership, we calculate the carbon footprint of your specific flight by aircraft type and route, and provide verifiable, accredited offsets. Our Cool Earth programme runs in parallel, contributing to rainforest protection with every flight. Both can be selected at the point of enquiry. Read more about our carbon programme.
