Based on £6,500 per airborne hour. Flying charge only — airport, handling, positioning and catering are additional.

If the aircraft is already positioned near your departure point, this sector can be flown as a positioned fare without the repositioning cost. Coming the other way, New York back to the UK, is often the cheaper half — and the drop can be at any UK airport, not only the one you left from.

Beyond the practical still-air range of the Citation X, so this sector would normally include a fuel stop. Shannon (SNN / EINN) is the usual choice: it sits close to the great-circle track, turnarounds are quick, and it offers US Customs and Border Protection preclearance to business aviation. Clear US immigration and customs on the ground in Ireland and the aircraft arrives in the States as a domestic flight — straight off the aircraft to the car, with no arrival formalities. The time and charge above are airborne only and exclude the stop.

A private jet from London to New York Teterboro is a transatlantic sector — 2,986 nm by great-circle distance from Farnborough. Westbound headwinds make this longer than the great-circle figure suggests, and a super-midsize aircraft would normally plan a technical stop. The calculated airborne figures and a straight explanation are below.

How long does a private jet from London to New York take?

The great-circle airborne figure is around six and a half hours. Westbound in winter, headwinds routinely add an hour or more, and a Citation X would normally plan a fuel stop in Iceland, Ireland or Canada depending on the day.

How much does a private jet from London to New York cost?

The indicative flying charge for this sector is £42,000, calculated from 6 hr 25 min estimated airborne time at £6,500 per flying hour. That is a flying charge only. It excludes aircraft positioning, airport and handling charges, landing fees, parking, passenger taxes, catering, ground transport, de-icing, crew overnight costs and permits. How private jet prices work explains the full picture.

Which London airport is best for a private jet to New York?

Farnborough or Luton. Both handle transatlantic departures and US customs pre-clearance requirements routinely. See London private jet airports for the differences, or private jet charter from Farnborough.

Which aircraft can fly London to New York?

For a reliable non-stop crossing with a full cabin this is a long-range aircraft's job. We will price the Citation X with a stop, or source a suitable long-range aircraft through an approved operator, and tell you plainly which makes more sense for your trip.

Flying privately into Teterboro

Teterboro (TEB / KTEB) is the closest business aviation airport to Manhattan and has a weight restriction that suits midsize and super-midsize aircraft well. Slots and curfew rules apply, and US customs arrangements need to be in place before departure.

Where does the fuel stop go?

Shannon (SNN / EINN) is usually the right place to stop. It sits close to the great-circle track, so the detour costs very little, and turnarounds are quick. The real advantage is that Shannon offers US Customs and Border Protection preclearance to business aviation — one of very few airports outside North America that does. You clear US immigration and customs on the ground in Ireland, and the aircraft then arrives at Teterboro as a domestic flight. No CBP queue at the other end, no arrival formalities: off the aircraft and into the car. On a westbound transatlantic trip that often saves more time than the stop costs.

London to New York private jet empty legs

Common questions

London to New York

How much is a private jet from London to New York?

The airborne-only estimate is £42,000 for 6 hr 25 min at £6,500 per flying hour. A realistic transatlantic quote will be higher because of the fuel stop and westbound winds.

Can a Citation X fly London to New York non-stop?

At 2,986 nm great-circle it is beyond practical still-air range, and westbound headwinds make a fuel stop the normal plan.

Where does a private jet stop between London and New York?

Shannon in Ireland is the usual choice. It is close to the great-circle track and offers US Customs and Border Protection preclearance to business aviation.

Can I clear US customs before landing in New York?

Yes, if you stop at Shannon. You clear US immigration and customs there, and the aircraft arrives at Teterboro as a domestic flight with no arrival formalities.
