Prices depending on the type of business jet Large jet (similar to Legacy 600) - from 4900 to 5800 GBP per flight hour; Business liners - from 10300 GBP per flight hour; Light jet - from 2100 to 3000 GBP per flight hour; Long-haul jet (similar to Global 5000, Gulfstream G550, Falcon 7X, etc.)

In 2026, the cost of chartering a private plane in the UK has risen due to increased Air Passenger Duty (APD) and landing fees. For a "Light Jet" (seating 4–7 people) on a short hop like London to Paris or Geneva, expect to pay between £5,000 and £9,000 for a one-way trip. For a "Mid-size" jet (seating 8–10) on a longer European route, the price increases to £15,000–£25,000. If you are looking to buy a private plane, a pre-owned turboprop like a Pilatus PC-12 might cost £3 million to £5 million, while a brand-new ultra-long-range jet like a Gulfstream G700 can exceed £60 million ($75M). Beyond the purchase price, UK owners must factor in annual operating costs (crew, fuel, hangarage, and insurance), which typically amount to 10% to 15% of the aircraft's value per year. In 2026, the UK government has also implemented higher luxury taxes on private departures, making "Empty Leg" flights (discounted one-way returns) the only way for "budget" travelers to experience private aviation for a fraction of the standard charter price.
