Airports and routing

Where you fly from and into

New York

Teterboro (TEB) suits shorter range departures, while heavy and ultra long range jets often use larger fields with longer runways.

London

Farnborough (FAB) and Luton (LTN) are the main London business aviation airports.

Split cost example

Sharing the cost across a group

If 8 people share a one way heavy jet charter at the midpoint of about $65,722, each person pays roughly $8,215. The range across the group works out to $6,390 to $10,041 per person.

Private vs first class

How it compares with flying commercial

International first and business fares on this route are very high, so a group filling a heavy or ultra long range jet can find the comparison closer than expected, though private still carries a premium.

Common questions

What aircraft can fly New York to London non-stop?

Heavy jets and ultra long range jets are the usual non-stop choices. Smaller cabins lack the range for a safe and comfortable transatlantic crossing.

Why is the eastbound flight faster?

The jet stream flows west to east across the Atlantic, so an eastbound flight gets a tailwind while the westbound return faces a headwind and takes longer.

Which London airports take private jets?

Farnborough and Luton are the primary business aviation airports for London, with strong handling and customs facilities.
