Edinburgh
Private Jet Charter
Options in 1 hour · All-in prices · Dedicated manager
Vector Jet arranges private jet charter to and from Edinburgh Airport (EDI) — for business trips, golf at St Andrews and Gleneagles, the August festivals, rugby at Murrayfield and flights with pets. Send us your route, date and number of passengers, and within an hour you receive 2–3 aircraft options with an all-inclusive price. Our charter managers speak English, German, French and Spanish.
Edinburgh Airport is open 24 hours a day. Private flights use the Signature business aviation centre, with customs and passport control on site, so you never pass through the main terminal. The drive to the city centre takes about 20–25 minutes.
Indicative one-way prices for the whole aircraft, in GBP. Your final quote depends on your dates, aircraft availability and repositioning — the cost of flying the aircraft empty to Edinburgh if it is based elsewhere. Send us your trip details and we will confirm the exact price.

How to Book a Private Jet from Edinburgh
Charter Managers
Our charter managers speak English, German, French and Spanish — ask for your preferred language when you request a quote.
Edinburgh Airport is Scotland’s busiest airport and the main gateway for private flights to the capital, St Andrews, Gleneagles and the Highlands. It is open 24 hours a day, has customs and border control on site, and its 2,556 m (8,386 ft) runway is long enough for any business jet — from a light Citation Mustang to a long-range Global.
Private terminal. Private jet passengers use the Signature business aviation centre on Turnhouse Road, a separate building with its own lounge, security and passport control, so you can arrive 20 minutes before departure. The centre is staffed from 06:00 to 22:00; for earlier or later flights we arrange a call-out in advance.
Parking and night flights. Edinburgh has no night curfew, but parking space for private aircraft is limited, so every flight needs prior permission (PPR) — an approved arrival and parking stand arranged through the handling agent. We request it as soon as you book; for the August festivals, The Open and big rugby weekends, book as early as you can.

| Distance to city centre | 12 km (7 miles) |
| City centre (Princes Street, New Town) | ≈ 20–25 min by car |
|---|---|

| Leith | ≈ 25–30 min |
| Muirfield (Gullane) | ≈ 50 min |
| Gleneagles | ≈ 50 min · by helicopter ≈ 20 min |
| St Andrews | ≈ 1 h 20 min · by helicopter ≈ 25 min |
| Glasgow | ≈ 50 min |
Edinburgh Airport suits most private flights, but sometimes another airport is closer to where you are going — or a helicopter saves the drive altogether.
| Airport | Distance from Edinburgh | Best for | Good to know |
|---|---|---|---|
| Perth (Scone) PSL · EGPT | 55 km | Gleneagles and Perthshire | Helicopters and light aircraft; prior permission required |
| Dundee DND · EGPN | 56 km | St Andrews, Carnoustie and Dundee | Runway 1,400 m — light and midsize jets; about 30 minutes by car to St Andrews |
| Glasgow GLA · EGPF | 78 km | Glasgow and the west of Scotland | Business aviation handling; a practical alternative when Edinburgh is busy during major events |
| Glasgow Prestwick PIK · EGPK | 101 km | Ayrshire and Turnberry | Runway 2,987 m — any business jet |
Private Jets for Golf, Festivals and Rugby
Scotland is the home of golf, and Edinburgh is the gateway to its most famous courses — the Old Course at St Andrews, Gleneagles, Muirfield and Carnoustie. The city’s own calendar adds two more peaks: the August festivals and international rugby at Murrayfield.
The Open 2027 at St Andrews. The 155th Open returns to the Old Course in July 2027. During Open week, demand for aircraft and parking at Edinburgh and Dundee peaks, so we recommend booking several months ahead. A helicopter from Edinburgh reaches St Andrews in about 25 minutes, avoiding the traffic.
August festivals. The Edinburgh Festival Fringe and the Edinburgh International Festival make August the busiest month for private flights between London and Edinburgh. Book early and allow extra time for traffic in the city centre.
Rugby at Murrayfield. Scotland’s Six Nations home matches in February and March and the autumn internationals bring a weekend peak. Murrayfield is about 15 minutes by car from the airport.
Same-day return. For a round of golf, a match or a meeting, a same-day return is often better value than two one-way flights, because the aircraft waits for you instead of flying back empty.
Other occasions: Hogmanay on 31 December, the Royal Highland Show next to the airport in June, and the grouse season in the Highlands from 12 August.
