Private Jet Charter
Options in 1 hour · All-in prices · Dedicated manager
Vector Jet arranges private jet charter to and from Manchester Airport (MAN) and other airports in the North West — for business trips, football fixtures, family holidays 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.
Manchester Airport is open 24 hours a day and has two private terminals, so you avoid the queues in the main terminals. The drive to the private terminal takes about 10–15 minutes from Alderley Edge, Wilmslow or Hale, and 20–25 minutes from the city centre.
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 Manchester if it is based elsewhere. Send us your trip details and we will confirm the exact price.

How to Book a Private Jet from Manchester
Charter Managers
Our charter managers speak English, German, French and Spanish — ask for your preferred language when you request a quote.
Manchester Airport is the main airport for private flights in the North of England: it is open 24 hours a day, has customs and border control on site, and its two runways are long enough for any private aircraft — from a light Citation Mustang to a long-range Global or a VIP airliner.
Two private terminals. Private jet passengers use either the Signature Flight Support business aviation centre or Aether, the airport’s private terminal, which opened in late 2024 and where Weston Aviation provides handling (ground services for the aircraft, crew and passengers). Both terminals offer private security and passport control, so you can arrive 20 minutes before departure. We choose the terminal that best suits your flight.
Slots and night flights. Manchester is a slot-coordinated airport: every flight, private ones included, needs a slot — an allocated time for take-off or landing. We request it together with your booking. Between 23:30 and 06:00 flights operate under a night quota (a cap on the number of night flights), so a late departure after an evening match or event needs to be booked in advance.
| Codes | IATA: MAN · ICAO: EGCC |

Manchester 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 Manchester | Best for | Good to know |
|---|---|---|---|
| City Airport & Heliport (Barton) EGCB | 10 km · west of the city | Helicopter transfers to the city, Trafford and Old Trafford | Lower landing fees than MAN; prior permission required; extended hours for helicopters on request |
| Liverpool John Lennon LPL · EGGP | 43 km | Liverpool, the Wirral, Aintree and the west of the region | Executive handling for business jets |
| Leeds Bradford LBA · EGNM | 57 km | Leeds, Harrogate and Yorkshire | Runway 2,250 m — suits most business jets |
| Hawarden (Chester) CEG · EGNR | 59 km | Chester, Cheshire West and North Wales | Quiet Airbus airfield; private handling by Aviation Park Group; customs by arrangement; prior permission required |
| Blackpool BLK · EGNH | 61 km | Lancashire coast, Lytham St Annes | Runway 1,870 m — light and midsize jets |
Private Jets for Football and Events
With two Premier League clubs — Manchester United at Old Trafford and Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium — football drives much of Manchester's private flying from August to May, with European matches adding midweek flights.
Same-day return. The most popular matchday trip: land a few hours before kick-off, watch the game and fly home the same evening. A same-day return is often better value than two one-way flights, because the aircraft waits for you instead of flying back empty.
Late departures. Manchester Airport is open 24 hours a day, but departures after 23:30 need a night slot — tell us the fixture as soon as it is confirmed, and we plan the timing around kick-off.
From Ireland and Scotland. Dublin, Belfast, Glasgow or Edinburgh to Manchester takes under an hour — for a group sharing a light jet, the cost per person can come close to a business-class fare, without losing a day to connections.
Helicopter to the stadium area. City Airport (Barton) is the closest landing site to Old Trafford.
Other events in the region: Test cricket at Old Trafford, the Grand National at Aintree (via Liverpool Airport), racing at Chester and Haydock Park, concerts at the Etihad Stadium and Co-op Live.
