The New York to London route is one of the most popular private jet corridors in the world. Whether you are traveling for business, leisure, or a special event, here is everything you need to know.
Best Airports
Departure: Teterboro (TEB)
The preferred private jet airport for NYC. 15 minutes from Manhattan, dedicated FBO terminals, no commercial traffic. The gold standard for private aviation departures.
Departure: Westchester (HPN)
Popular for Connecticut and Westchester County departures. Less congested than Teterboro, excellent FBO facilities, 45 minutes from Manhattan.
Arrival: Farnborough (FAB)
The premier London private jet airport. 45 minutes from Central London, dedicated private aviation terminal, fast customs processing. Preferred by business travelers.
Arrival: Biggin Hill (BQH)
Southeast London, 30 minutes from the City. Excellent for quick access to Canary Wharf and the financial district. Smaller and more discreet than Farnborough.
Arrival: Luton (LTN)
North of London, 45 minutes to Central London. Good for northern London destinations and connections to the M1 motorway.
Arrival: London City (LCY)
Closest to Central London (20 minutes to Canary Wharf). Steep approach limits aircraft to certain types. Best for business travelers with tight schedules.
Recommended Aircraft
For the 6.5–7 hour transatlantic crossing, you need an aircraft with true transatlantic range and comfortable cabin space.
- Gulfstream G650ER: The ultimate. 13,890 km range, 6.5 hours nonstop, 12–19 passengers, stand-up cabin.
- Bombardier Global 7500: 14,260 km range, 7 hours nonstop, 19 passengers, four-zone cabin.
- Dassault Falcon 8X: 11,945 km range, 6.5 hours nonstop, 12–16 passengers, excellent fuel efficiency.
- Gulfstream G550: 12,501 km range, 6.5 hours nonstop, 14–19 passengers, proven reliability.
Cost Estimate
For a one-way NYC to London flight on a heavy or ultra-long-range jet, expect:
- Heavy jet: $85,000 – $120,000
- Ultra-long-range: $110,000 – $160,000
- Round-trip: $150,000 – $220,000 (with 2-day minimum stay)
Empty leg flights can reduce this by 30–50% if your schedule aligns with a repositioning aircraft.
Customs & Immigration
Private jet customs is faster and more efficient than commercial. At Farnborough, US passport holders can use the e-gates. At Biggin Hill, customs officers meet you at the aircraft. We coordinate all documentation in advance.
