Private aviation services

European Private Jets is a charter broker with a head office at Larnaca International Airport and offices in Nice, Hamburg and Geneva. For 14 years the team has arranged flights for private clients, families and companies across Europe and beyond. We have no aircraft of our own: every flight is operated by a licensed air operator holding an Air Operator Certificate (AOC), and through these operators we can choose from about 6,500 aircraft, from single-engine turboprops to VIP airliners.

Most requests start with a plain charter from one city to another, but many trips need more: a helicopter for the last few kilometres, a dog in the cabin, a patient on a stretcher, a delegation flying to a congress or a parcel that cannot wait for a courier. All of these services are listed in the sections that follow, each with a link to its own page with prices and details. One manager handles the whole trip, from the first quote to landing.

To get a quote, send the route, date, number of passengers and any extra service you need:

Private flights

The core service is an aircraft with crew for your trip alone: one way, return or a route with several stops. You choose the departure time, the airports and who is on board.

Aircraft by class, with seats, range and cabin size, are in the catalogue of private jets. Routes requested most often, with prices from the main European cities, are collected under popular destinations.

Ways to pay less

A charter is priced for the whole aircraft, so the cost per person falls as seats fill. Two formats lower the price further if you can accept some limits.

For a first idea of the budget, the prices page shows hourly rates by aircraft class, and the calculator gives an estimate for a route. A firm price always comes from the operator's quote, with airport fees and passenger taxes included.

Special flights

Some trips need a particular aircraft, extra approvals or partners on the ground. The team arranges these regularly.

For companies, agencies and assistants

• Companies. Firms that fly several times a year get one manager who knows their usual routes and passengers, a contract for every flight and invoices for their accounts.
• Travel agencies and tour operators. Private flights for the agency's own clients, with the agency staying their point of contact. Conditions are on the cooperation with travel agencies page.
• Personal and executive assistants. One contact for the flight, the car and the hotel, with changes handled by phone or message at any hour. See cooperation with assistants.
• Advice before booking. A free conversation about aircraft, airports, documents and budget, with no obligation to book. How it works is explained under consultations.

On the ground and on board

A flight is only part of the trip. On request, the manager also arranges:

Each extra service is priced separately and shown in the offer before you confirm.

Paperwork handled for you

The operations side of a private flight is invisible to passengers, but it decides whether the aircraft can leave on time. Before departure we check or arrange:

• landing and overflight permits outside the EU, and slots at busy or slot-controlled airports;
• passenger details sent ahead to the handler and, where required, to border authorities;
• entry rules for each passenger: no routine passport checks inside the Schengen area, an ETA for EU citizens visiting the UK, an ESTA for the United States, visas where needed;
• customs for trips to or from Switzerland, Norway and the UK, which are outside the EU customs union;
• cabotage rules, since an operator from outside the EU cannot carry passengers between two EU airports;
• pet documents and medical paperwork for patients;
• passenger taxes of the departure country, such as about EUR 420 per passenger on jets leaving France, EUR 100 or EUR 200 in Italy depending on distance, and Air Passenger Duty in the UK, all listed in the quote.

What we do not do

• We do not operate aircraft. The operator is responsible for the crew, maintenance and safety of the flight, and its name is in your contract.
• We do not sell seats on airline flights.
• We do not arrange flights into airspace that is closed to civil aviation. Instead we suggest the nearest open airport and the onward journey by road or rail.
• We do not bury fees in a total. Positioning, waiting time, catering and taxes are shown as separate lines or stated as included.

Why book through a broker

A single operator offers the aircraft it has. A broker asks many operators for the same date and compares models, prices and positioning costs, then checks the AOC, insurance and crew of the chosen one. When a trip involves two operators, a helicopter and a car, you still deal with one manager. The aircraft is chartered for your group alone, so you set the route, the stops and the time of departure, and changes are agreed with the operator at the lowest available cost. The air broker page explains how this works in detail, and the company background is under about us.

The team speaks English, Russian, Ukrainian, German, French, Italian, Greek and Spanish, so most clients can talk to their manager in their own language.

How to book a service

1. Send the route, dates, preferred times, number of passengers, baggage and any special needs, such as a pet, a stretcher or a helicopter transfer, by form, phone, WhatsApp or e-mail.
2. The manager checks airports, night rules and permits and asks the operators for available aircraft.
3. You receive 4-7 options, aircraft of different classes and prices within your budget, each with operator, model, cabin photos and the price for the whole aircraft, with extras listed separately.
4. You sign the contract with the operator, prepared by us as broker, and pay by bank transfer or card; payment in cryptocurrency, mainly USDT and USDC, is also possible, and other arrangements, including cash, can be discussed individually and depend on the situation. Terms are on the payment page.
5. Before the flight you receive the flight details with terminal address, crew contacts and car times, and your manager stays reachable until landing.

If you would rather talk first, leave your number and a manager will call you back:

Questions about our services

• • Do you own the aircraft?

  • No. We are a broker and work with licensed operators that hold an Air Operator Certificate. Through them we can choose from about 6,500 aircraft, and the operator's name is in your contract.

• • Can I book a helicopter or a car without a jet?

  • A helicopter flight can be booked on its own: send the route and the date. Cars, hotels and other ground services are arranged together with a flight we organise.

• • How quickly can a flight be arranged?

  • Inside Europe, departure is possible about 4 hours after the request is confirmed, when a suitable aircraft and crew are near your airport. Long-haul flights, medical flights and trips that need permits usually take longer.

• • Do you arrange air ambulance flights?

  • Yes. We find an aircraft with medical equipment and work with medical partners who provide doctors, nurses and ground ambulances at both ends.

• • Can my dog fly with me?

  • Yes, in the cabin, if the operator approves it in advance. Within the EU the dog needs a microchip, a rabies vaccination given at least 21 days before travel and an EU pet passport. The UK, Ireland, Malta, Finland and Norway also require a tapeworm treatment for dogs.

• • Which is easier to get, an Empty Leg or a Jet Sharing seat?

  • Usually an Empty Leg, because one appears whenever an aircraft repositions. Jet Sharing needs other passengers on the same day and route. The catch with an Empty Leg is that the time and direction are fixed.

• • Do you fly outside Europe?

  • Yes, to the Middle East, Africa, the Americas and Asia, with the permits each country requires. We do not arrange flights into airspace closed to civil aviation.

• • How are extra services charged?

  • Each service, such as a car, catering, a helicopter leg or a hotel, has its own price in the offer. Costs that can only be known on the day, such as de-icing or extra waiting time, are named in the contract.
