What is included in a private jet quote from Blackbushe?

A Vector Jet quote is all-inclusive: the aircraft, crew, fuel, airport and handling fees, Air Passenger Duty, VAT where it applies, crew overnight costs and standard catering. De-icing in winter may be added: it is charged if it is needed on the day, as it depends on the weather.

How quickly can I book a private jet from Blackbushe?

Vector Jet sends aircraft options within an hour, 24/7, and in many cases an aircraft can depart within a few hours of confirmation, depending on availability. For ski weekends, Royal Ascot week and summer weekends on the Riviera it is best to book several days ahead.

Which airport is best for a private jet near Blackbushe?

Blackbushe (BBS) is ideal for turboprops and light jets: it is quiet, has no slots and no annual movement cap, and it is close to Surrey, Berkshire and Hampshire, about 54 km from central London. For larger jets and long-haul flights we use Farnborough, 7 km to the south, while Biggin Hill and Luton are other London options.

Why fly from Blackbushe instead of Farnborough?

Blackbushe is quieter and simpler for smaller aircraft: there is no annual cap on movements and no weekend restrictions of the kind that apply at Farnborough, and the private terminal lets your car drive up to the aircraft. Its 1,335 m runway suits turboprops and light jets, so for a heavy jet or a long-haul flight Farnborough remains the better choice.

What are the opening hours of Blackbushe Airport?

Blackbushe is open from 07:00 to 20:00 local time, and the hours can be extended on request. Tell us your timings when you book and we will arrange an early or late departure.

Which private jets can fly from Blackbushe?

Blackbushe has a 1,335 m (4,380 ft) runway, which suits turboprops such as the Pilatus PC-12 and King Air 350 and light jets such as the Pilatus PC-24, Citation CJ3+ and Phenom 300. Larger jets can use it only with restrictions, so for a midsize or heavy jet we will suggest nearby Farnborough.

Can I fly to the ski resorts from Blackbushe?

Yes. Chambéry is the closest airport to Courchevel, Méribel and Val d'Isère, about 1 hour 25 minutes away by light jet, and Geneva suits Verbier, Megève and Chamonix. Both can be reached non-stop from Blackbushe in a turboprop or a light jet.

How much is Air Passenger Duty on a private jet from Blackbushe?

From 1 April 2026, the higher rate of UK Air Passenger Duty for private jets (aircraft of 20 tonnes and above with fewer than 19 seats) is £142 per passenger for domestic and European flights. The turboprops and light jets that use Blackbushe currently pay the standard rate: £16 per passenger on domestic flights and £32 to Europe. From April 2027 the higher rate will also apply to all business jets of 5.7 tonnes and above.

Can I bring my dog on a private jet landing at Blackbushe?

Yes, if the aircraft operator is approved for pet travel into Blackbushe, which is an approved entry point for pets. Your dog needs a microchip, a rabies vaccination at least 21 days before travel, an EU pet passport or a Great Britain pet health certificate, and tapeworm treatment 24 hours to 5 days before arrival.

Can I fly from Blackbushe to the Riviera or Sardinia?

Yes. Cannes-Mandelieu, a few minutes from Cannes, is built for smaller aircraft and is a perfect match for the turboprops and light jets that fly from Blackbushe, while Nice suits Monaco and Antibes. Olbia, for the Costa Smeralda in Sardinia, is about 2 hours 20 minutes away by light jet.

Are there empty leg flights from Blackbushe?

Yes. An empty leg is a one-way flight on an aircraft that would otherwise fly empty, for example after dropping clients off, and it is often sold at a significant discount. Empty legs to and from Blackbushe and nearby Farnborough appear regularly, but their dates and times are set by the original booking and can change. Tell us your route and how flexible you are, and we will look for a suitable empty leg alongside standard options.

Which private aircraft are most popular from Blackbushe?

The most frequent business aircraft at Blackbushe are the Pilatus PC-12, the King Air and the Pilatus PC-24. Turboprops are the most cost-effective option for the Channel Islands, Paris and other short routes, while a PC-24, Citation CJ3+ or Phenom 300 is faster to the Alps, the Riviera and the Balearics.

Blackbushe Airport (BBS) for Private Jets

Blackbushe is a private airport on the Surrey–Hampshire border, about 54 km south-west of central London and 7 km north of Farnborough. Its 1,335 m (4,380 ft) runway is made for turboprops and light jets — the Pilatus PC-12, the King Air and the Pilatus PC-24 are the most frequent business aircraft here.

Quiet and flexible. There are no slots, no annual cap on movements and no airline traffic, and your car can drive up to the aircraft. The airport’s Executive Facilities offer a lounge, a shower room and a meeting room, and you can arrive 20 minutes before departure. New hangars and a new general aviation terminal are being built as part of a major modernisation.

Larger jets. Midsize and heavy jets can use Blackbushe only with restrictions, so for a larger aircraft or a long-haul flight we will suggest nearby Farnborough.

Private Flights for Ascot, Golf and Weekends Away

Blackbushe sits in the heart of the Surrey–Berkshire–Hampshire triangle, close to some of England’s best-known racecourses, golf clubs and country houses.

Royal Ascot and Windsor. Ascot Racecourse is about 25 minutes from the airport, and Windsor, with the Guards Polo Club in Windsor Great Park, about 30 minutes. During Royal Ascot week in June, guests often fly in from Paris, Dublin or the Channel Islands for the day.

Golf. Wentworth, home of the BMW PGA Championship, and Sunningdale are about 20 minutes away by car.

Ski weekends. Chambéry, for Courchevel, Méribel and Val d’Isère, and Geneva, for Verbier and Chamonix, are under 1 hour 30 minutes away by light jet.

Summer by the sea. Cannes-Mandelieu, Olbia, Palma and Ibiza are popular summer routes, and the Channel Islands are less than an hour away in a turboprop.

Same-day return. For a race day, a meeting in Paris or lunch in Jersey, a same-day return is often better value than two one-way flights, because the aircraft waits for you instead of flying back empty.

Flying with Pets

Dogs, cats and ferrets can fly in the cabin with you. Bringing a pet into Great Britain is strictly regulated — we check the rules for every flight.

Arriving in the UK at Blackbushe
• Blackbushe is an approved entry point for pets arriving by air on a private flight. The aircraft operator must be approved for pet travel on the route into Blackbushe. Your pet is checked at the airport before it is released to you.
• Microchip — implanted before the rabies vaccination.
• Rabies vaccination — at least 21 days before travel (after the primary vaccination).
• Document: a pet passport issued in the EU (or Switzerland, Norway, Iceland, Andorra, Monaco, San Marino, Gibraltar, Vatican), or a Great Britain pet health certificate signed by an official vet — entry within 10 days of issue.
• Dogs: tapeworm treatment by a vet no less than 24 hours and no more than 5 days before arrival.
• No approved route is needed for flights within the UK or from Ireland. If the rules are not met, your pet may be placed in quarantine for up to four months.

Flying from Blackbushe to the EU
• You need an Animal Health Certificate from your vet: valid for 10 days for entry into the EU, then 6 months for onward travel within the EU and for re-entry to Great Britain. A GB-issued pet passport is not accepted for entry into the EU.

Tell your charter manager about your pet when you request a quote — not every operator accepts pets, and we plan the route around it.

Private Jet Charter Blackbushe: FAQ

The price is driven mainly by the aircraft and the route: a turboprop such as the Pilatus PC-12 or King Air 350 to Jersey, Guernsey, Paris or Amsterdam is the most affordable option, while a light jet such as the PC-24 or Phenom 300 is faster on longer trips to the Alps or the Mediterranean. See the indicative prices in GBP in the table above. The final price also reflects your dates and repositioning (flying the aircraft empty to Blackbushe if it is based elsewhere); UK Air Passenger Duty is already included in our quotes. Vector Jet sends exact options within an hour.

Private flights use the airport's own Executive Facilities, with a lounge, a shower room and a meeting room, and your car can drive up to the aircraft. You can arrive 20 minutes before departure. A new general aviation terminal and new hangars are being built as part of the airport's modernisation.
