What is included in a private jet quote from Stansted?

A Vector Jet quote is all-inclusive: the aircraft, crew, fuel, airport and handling fees, the airport slot, 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.

Can I charter a VIP airliner or fly a large group from Stansted?

Yes. Stansted has the longest runway of any London airport, 3,049 m (10,003 ft), and fire cover for the largest aircraft on request, so it takes VIP airliners such as the Boeing Business Jet, Airbus ACJ and wide-body VIP jets, as well as 50–180-seat airliners for teams, delegations and event groups. VIP Boeing 737 and 767 aircraft are based here. Prices depend heavily on the aircraft, so we quote each group flight individually.

Can I fly from Stansted at night?

Yes. The airport and ATC operate 24 hours, but for a departure or arrival between 23:00 and 07:00 customs must be notified by 21:00, and the private terminals open outside 06:00–22:00 by arrangement. Tell us about a night flight as early as possible and we will arrange the notice, the slot and the terminal.

How far is Stansted from Cambridge, Newmarket and central London?

Stansted is about 36 km from Cambridge and 42 km from Newmarket in a straight line: about 35 and 40 minutes by car. Central London is about 47 km away: about an hour by car to the City or Canary Wharf along the M11, and about 50 minutes by Stansted Express to Liverpool Street for travelling staff.

Why do heads of state and delegations use Stansted?

Its long runway takes the largest government aircraft, it has dedicated terminals for state visits and large groups, and security, customs and parking for big aircraft can be arranged away from the main passenger terminal. The same facilities serve sports teams, corporate delegations and event groups.

Can I bring my dog on a private jet to Stansted?

Yes. Stansted is approved for pets arriving by private or charter flight, provided the aircraft operator is approved for pet travel on the route, and it has its own animal border inspection post. 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.

Which private jets are most popular at Stansted?

In 2025 the most frequent business aircraft at Stansted were the Bombardier Challenger 350, the Bombardier Global family and the Embraer Phenom 300, out of almost 10,000 business aviation movements. Six Gulfstream G650ER are based at Stansted, more of one model than at any other London airport.

Both are open 24 hours and take any business jet. Luton is closer to north and west London and has more business flights and based jets; Stansted is closer to Cambridge, Newmarket, Essex and east London, has the longest runway and is the first choice for VIP airliners, large groups and delegations.

Are there empty leg flights from Stansted?

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 Stansted appear regularly, including on long-range jets and occasionally VIP airliners, 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.

Q: How quickly can I fly from Stansted?

Vector Jet sends aircraft options within an hour, 24/7. At Stansted every private flight needs prior permission at least 4 hours before the movement and an airport slot, both arranged through the handling agent, so allow at least half a day from confirmation. For a departure within two or three hours, Luton or Biggin Hill is often faster.

Vector Jet arranges private jet and VIP airliner charter to and from London Stansted Airport (STN), the London airport with the longest runway — for long-haul flights to Dubai, Jeddah, Kuwait and New York, summers in Nice, Mykonos, Ibiza and Sardinia, race days in Newmarket, business trips from Cambridge, and large groups, teams and delegations. 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.

Stansted is about 50 km north-east of central London, between London and Cambridge. Private flights use their own terminals, separate from the main passenger terminal, and the airport is home to six Gulfstream G650ER and two VIP Boeing airliners.

London Stansted Airport (STN) for Private Jets

London Stansted sits in Essex, about 50 km north-east of central London on the M11, halfway to Cambridge. It is a major airport for scheduled flights, and for private aviation it is the London airport of choice for VIP airliners, state visits and large groups.

The longest runway in London. The single runway is 3,049 m (10,003 ft) long, and fire cover for the very largest aircraft is available on request. Every business jet and VIP airliner, from a Boeing Business Jet to a wide-body VIP jet, can use Stansted and fly long-haul non-stop with a full load.

Private terminals. Stansted has more private aviation terminals than any other London airport: Harrods Aviation, which also handles heads of state and large delegations, Universal Aviation, Inflite The Jet Centre and XJet. Customs is cleared in the private terminal, away from the main passenger building.

Day and night. The airport operates 24 hours. The private terminals normally work 06:00–22:00 and open at other times by arrangement, and for a flight between 23:00 and 07:00 customs must be notified by 21:00 the same evening.

Permission and slots. Every private flight needs prior permission at least 4 hours before the movement and an airport slot, both arranged through the handling agent. We take care of both as soon as you confirm; for a departure within two or three hours, Luton or Biggin Hill is often faster.

Other Airports and Heliports near Stansted

Stansted suits flights from east London, Essex, Cambridge and Newmarket, and any flight on a VIP airliner. For a short-notice departure, a destination in west or south London or a day trip from Canary Wharf, another London airport may be a better fit.

Chauffeur Transfer from Stansted Airport

Your chauffeur meets you at the private terminal, often right by the aircraft, and takes you door to door — to Cambridge, Newmarket, Canary Wharf, Mayfair or your hotel. For groups and delegations we arrange several cars or a coach. Add the transfer to your flight quote and we will time it to your arrival.

Cambridge, Newmarket and East Anglia

Stansted is the natural airport for Cambridge, Newmarket, Essex and Suffolk, and for large groups travelling to London.

Newmarket racing. The home of British flat racing is about 40 minutes away: the 2000 and 1000 Guineas in spring, the July Festival in summer and the bloodstock sales at Tattersalls in autumn bring owners, trainers and buyers from Ireland, France and the Gulf. Book the aircraft and the slot early for the big race days.

Cambridge. The university, the colleges and the science and technology parks around the city are about 35 minutes by car — ideal for a same-day visit from Europe.

Groups, teams and delegations. Sports teams, corporate groups and official delegations often arrive at Stansted on VIP or charter airliners: the runway takes the largest aircraft, and the private terminals handle large groups away from the main passenger building.

Essex and Suffolk. Country houses, golf clubs and the coast between Aldeburgh and Southwold are within an hour or so of the airport.

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 Stansted
• Stansted is one of the approved airports for pets arriving by private or charter flight, and it has its own animal border inspection post. The aircraft operator must be approved for pet travel into Stansted, and 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 Stansted to the EU and beyond
• For 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.
• The Gulf states, the United States and other long-haul destinations have their own import rules and permits, which can take several weeks to arrange — tell us early.

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 Stansted: FAQ

The price is driven mainly by the aircraft and the route: a light jet such as the Citation CJ3+ or Phenom 300E is the most affordable option for Amsterdam, Geneva or Zurich, a Praetor 600, Challenger 350 or Challenger 650 suits Nice, Ibiza, Venice or Mykonos, and Dubai, Jeddah, Kuwait and New York need a long-range jet such as the Falcon 7X or Global 6000. See the indicative prices in GBP in the table above. The final price also reflects your dates and repositioning (flying the aircraft empty to Stansted if it is based elsewhere); UK Air Passenger Duty is already included in our quotes. Vector Jet sends exact options within an hour.

Stansted has more private aviation terminals than any other London airport: Harrods Aviation, which also handles heads of state and large groups, Universal Aviation, Inflite The Jet Centre and XJet. All are separate from the main passenger terminal, with lounges and cars brought to the aircraft. We choose the terminal together with the aircraft operator.
