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 of 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 team works 24/7 in English, German, French and Spanish.
Manchester Airport is open 24 hours and has two private terminals, so you skip the main terminal queues. From Alderley Edge, Wilmslow or Hale you reach the private terminal in about 10–15 minutes, from the city centre in 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 Manchester if it is based elsewhere. Send us your trip and we will confirm the exact price.

Manchester Airport is the main airport for private flights in the North of England: it is open 24 hours, has customs and border control on site and two long runways that accept any business jet, from a Citation Mustang to a 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 opened in late 2024, where Weston Aviation provides handling (ground services for the aircraft, crew and passengers). Security and passport control are private, and 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 limited allowance of night movements, so a late departure after an evening match or event should be requested in advance.

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 |

With two Premier League clubs — Manchester United at Old Trafford and Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium — football sets the rhythm of private flying in Manchester 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, 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 be close to business class, 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.
