Can you take a private jet from Heathrow?

It's a seamless private and personal travel service. Next time you use Heathrow, indulge in a private jet experience flying scheduled at the world's best-connected airport.



Yes, you can take a private jet from London Heathrow, but it is a "High-Fidelity" luxury experience managed through specialized facilities rather than the main passenger terminals. Most private aviation at Heathrow is handled via the Heathrow VIP Windsor Suite, which provides a discrete, high-fidelity environment for high-net-worth individuals, diplomats, and celebrities. The service includes a private lounge, dedicated high-fidelity security and passport control lanes, and a private Airside vehicle transfer directly to the aircraft. In 2026, the "Windsor Suite" service for a small group (1–3 people) starts at approximately £4,060 (including VAT). While many private jets prefer smaller airports like Farnborough or Northolt due to lower landing fees and faster turnarounds, Heathrow remains a high-fidelity choice for those connecting from long-haul commercial flights to private charters. This "High-Fidelity" service ensures that you never have to step foot in the crowded public terminals, providing a seamless and high-fidelity transition from the city to your private flight.
