Private jet to Wroclaw

The capital of Lower Silesia lies between Berlin, Prague and Warsaw, and most of its private traffic is industrial. The copper basin around Lubin, Polkowice and Głogów is one of the largest centres of copper mining and processing in Europe; car and electronics plants of German, Korean and Japanese groups stand in the special economic zones around the city; and Wroclaw is one of Poland's biggest locations for shared service centres and IT firms. Board members, auditors and engineers fly in for a day and leave in the evening.

Business jets land at Wrocław Copernicus Airport in Strachowice, about 10 km west of the Market Square. Private passengers use the General Aviation Executive service with its own entrance and a VIP lounge, where passport and customs checks take place, and the car can drive to the aircraft. The 2,503 m runway takes every business jet class. As a broker, we check which operators in Europe have a suitable aircraft and quote the price for the whole aircraft.

Give us the route, the date and the number of passengers in the form, and a consultant will reply with aircraft options and the price.

Why companies and skiers fly to Lower Silesia

Flight times to Copernicus Airport

Citation CJ3 block times from the tables below, taxi included:

• Prague: 0:48 h, Berlin: 0:53 h, Vienna: 0:58 h
• Budapest: 1:07 h, Munich: 1:10 h, Hamburg: 1:15 h, Copenhagen: 1:18 h
• Frankfurt: 1:20 h, Zurich: 1:31 h
• Milan Linate: 1:40 h, Amsterdam: 1:40 h, Stockholm: 1:47 h, Geneva: 1:50 h
• Paris Le Bourget: 1:58 h, Nice: 2:02 h, London Farnborough: 2:12 h
• Madrid: 3:14 h, Larnaca: 3:37 h

From Prague, Berlin and Vienna a faster jet saves only two or three minutes, so the smallest suitable aircraft is the sensible choice. From Dresden, Krakow or Warsaw a Pilatus PC-12 needs about an hour. The longest sectors, from Seoul and Tokyo, run 11-15 hours depending on the aircraft and the fuel stop.

Private flights to Wroclaw: prices

The tables show one-way prices for the whole aircraft, without handling, airport charges or passenger taxes, for an aircraft based close to the departure airport. Flight times refer to the first aircraft column.

From the main hubs and neighbouring capitals

Prague and Berlin cost EUR 8,000 in a CJ3, Vienna EUR 8,500, Munich and Budapest EUR 9,000. From London the light jet costs EUR 12,500, from Paris EUR 11,500.

Regional sectors in Poland, Saxony and Slovakia

On distances of 215-380 km the Pilatus PC-12 is the cheapest option, and the jet columns show what the extra speed costs:

Poznan, Katowice and Zielona Góra are 120-170 km away, and a car gets there sooner than a flight once the formalities at both ends are counted, so we do not offer charters to them.

From other European cities

Long-haul from the Gulf and North America

From Korea and Japan

Board visits from Korean and Japanese parent companies are a regular part of the calendar. European operators route around closed airspace on these sectors, so the distances below include that detour, and only the Global 7500 flies them non-stop:

The fare depends on flight time, plus a share for positioning the aircraft and crew. Passenger taxes follow the country of departure: about EUR 420 per passenger on a jet out of France, about half that on a turboprop; EUR 100 per passenger from Milan or Rome, both under the Italian 1,500 km limit; EUR 12 per passenger from Austria, or EUR 30 if the flight is shorter than 350 km, which applies to Vienna at 334 km. Germany charges a departure tax. UK Air Passenger Duty is charged at the standard rate on most jets; the higher rate applies to aircraft of 20 t or more with fewer than 19 seats, and aircraft under 5.7 t pay none. Charges at Wroclaw are listed in the quote.

Business jet price per flight hour

Heavy Jets from EUR 8,300 / hour

Light Jets from EUR 3,200 / hour

Ultra Long Range Jets from EUR 12,000 / hour

Super Midsize Jets from EUR 6,300 / hour

Copernicus Airport and the nearby alternatives

Wrocław Copernicus Airport (WRO, EPWR), Port Lotniczy Wrocław im. Mikołaja Kopernika, lies at ul. Graniczna 190 in Strachowice, about 10 km west of the centre and 123 m above sea level. Its single runway, 11/29, is 2,503 m long with an instrument approach, long enough for airliners and for every business jet. For the largest types on intercontinental sectors at full weight, the operator calculates take-off performance for the day.

The General Aviation Executive service gives private flights priority parking, a separate access road and entrance, security screening and a VIP lounge, where passport and customs checks are carried out, and a limousine can be arranged to the aircraft. Jet A-1 and AVGAS 100LL are available. Handling is provided by LS Airport Services, Excel Handling, Euro Jet and the General Aviation Airbase. Whether a handler is compulsory for a private flight is checked with the operator, and we confirm in writing which company receives the aircraft and give its name to the driver.

The airport is listed as open round the clock, and private flights need no slot. Scheduled traffic is busy at peak hours, so the arrival time is agreed with the handler. The hours of the customs post are confirmed for each flight, and the noise rules are checked before an early or late movement is accepted.

Alternate airports

None of the alternates is a shorter way into the city; they are used when weather or an operational problem rules out Copernicus. Distances are straight-line from Wroclaw:

Opole, about 100 km to the south-east, has only a grass airfield that does not suit jets.

Picking the aircraft

The Pilatus PC-12 NGX, the Phenom 100 and the Challenger 604 are the types seen most often on routes to Wroclaw. For six to eight skiers with boots and helmets we suggest a midsize jet such as the Citation XLS+, because in a light jet the hold fills before the seats do; the light jets page compares the smaller cabins.

When to fly to Wroclaw

The business calendar sets the pace, with leisure traffic mainly in the ski months:

For a fair or conference week in autumn, book the aircraft as soon as the dates are fixed.

Transfers from Strachowice

Empty Legs through Wroclaw

An Empty Leg is a sector flown without passengers, when an aircraft returns to base or positions for the next client. Most private traffic here comes from Germany and Czechia, so empty sectors appear mainly on those routes. Typical directions:

The operator chooses the day and hour of an Empty Leg, so they work best for flexible plans. E-mail empty-legs@jets.flights with the direction and a range of dates, and we send matching sectors as they appear.

Taking a dog or cat

The pet sits in the cabin beside you, never in the hold, and the operator must approve it in advance. Poland follows the EU rules:

• ISO microchip, implanted before the rabies vaccination.
• Rabies vaccination at least 21 days before travel for a first vaccination; the animal must be at least 12 weeks old when vaccinated.
• EU pet passport; from Great Britain an animal health certificate, valid for 10 days from issue.
• A limit of five dogs, cats or ferrets per person when the trip is non-commercial.
• No tapeworm treatment is required for Poland.

On a ski trip, ask the hotel in Karpacz or Szklarska Poręba whether dogs are welcome before booking the flight.

Documents, customs and taxes

Pre-flight checklist

• Passport or ID card for every passenger, including children.
• Full names, dates of birth and document numbers of all passengers, a day ahead.
• Exact arrival time, so the handler can confirm it and the customs hours.
• Luggage count, including ski bags, tools or samples for the plant.
• Pet documents: passport or health certificate, microchip number, rabies vaccination.
• Address of the plant, office or hotel, and whether a helicopter is needed.
• VAT number and company name for the invoice.

How to book

1. Send the route, the date, the number of passengers, their luggage and the address of the plant, office or hotel.
2. We confirm the handler and the arrival time at Copernicus, and the car or helicopter onward.
3. We come back with 2-4 options, each showing the operator, model, year of build, cabin photos and the price for the whole aircraft.
4. You sign the contract and pay; we confirm handling, the transfer and catering.
5. On the day of the flight, be at the airport 20-30 minutes before departure. At Wroclaw the car brings you to the VIP lounge or, with a pass, to the aircraft.

Common questions about flying privately to Wroclaw

• • How much does a private jet to Wroclaw cost?

  • A turboprop from Dresden costs from EUR 6,500 one way, a light jet from Prague or Berlin EUR 8,000 and from London EUR 12,500, for the whole aircraft. The quote adds handling and passenger taxes.

• • Does Wroclaw airport have a terminal for private jets?

  • It has a General Aviation Executive service with a separate entrance and a VIP lounge, where passport and customs checks take place. The car can drive to the aircraft by arrangement.

• • How long is the flight from London?

  • 2:12 h from Farnborough in a Citation CJ3 and 2:02 h in a Challenger 350. Clocks in Wroclaw are one hour ahead of London.

• • Can I visit Prague or Dresden on the same trip?

  • Yes. Both are about 220 km away, under an hour in a light jet, and keeping the same aircraft for the extra leg costs less than a separate booking.

• • Do I need a slot?

  • No. We still agree the arrival time with the handler, because the customs hours and peak scheduled traffic matter.

• • How far is Karpacz from the airport?

  • About 120 km, 1.5-2 hours by car. In winter a helicopter can make the trip in about 30 minutes.

• • Do I need a passport?

  • Not for a flight from inside Schengen, though the operator still needs a valid passport or ID card for each passenger. From the UK the check takes place in the VIP lounge.

• • Can my dog fly with me to Wroclaw?

  • Yes. The dog sits in the cabin and needs a microchip, a rabies vaccination at least 21 days before the trip and an EU pet passport, but no tapeworm treatment for Poland.

• • Are there Empty Legs to and from Wroclaw?

  • Yes, mostly on German and Czech routes and, in winter, back from ski trips. Write to empty-legs@jets.flights with the direction and dates.

• • When is flying to Wroclaw cheapest?

  • In July and August, when business traffic is lowest. September and October, the trade fair season, are the most expensive.

• • Can a private flight come from Korea or Japan?

  • Yes. The Global 7500 flies from Seoul or Tokyo non-stop on the route around closed airspace; the Challenger 650 and Falcon 7X need one fuel stop.
