Heavy jets
The Gulfstream G550 and Bombardier Global 6000 comfortably make the crossing nonstop with full transatlantic range, a stand-up cabin, divan seating and a private lavatory for the eight-hour leg.

Private Jet Charter from London to New York
Cross the Atlantic on your schedule with an ultra-long-range jet, nonstop from London to New York. Tell us your dates and Private JetOne will build the aircraft options.
Route overview
London to New York at a glance
A transatlantic flagship route. The great-circle distance is roughly 3,000 nautical miles, sitting squarely in ultra-long-range jet territory and demanding careful planning around winds, payload and customs.
Flying westbound you battle prevailing headwinds and the jet stream, so London to New York consistently runs longer than the eastbound return, which often lands in around 6 hours 30 minutes to 7 hours. Because New York sits about five hours behind London, a morning departure from the UK can put you in Manhattan in time for a full business afternoon the same day.
Aircraft
Best-fit jets for the Atlantic crossing
This lane is a true long-haul leg, so a heavy or ultra-long-range cabin is the right call for a comfortable nonstop. Super-midsize jets can struggle westbound against the headwind and may need a technical fuel stop.
Ultra-long-range
The Gulfstream G650, G700 and Global 7500, 8000 deliver the longest legs, the quietest cabins and the most reliable nonstop performance even against strong winter headwinds and a full passenger load.
Falcon trijets
The Dassault Falcon 7X, 8X and 6X pair transatlantic range with three-engine reassurance and excellent fuel efficiency, a popular choice for passengers who prioritise quiet, smooth Atlantic flying.
Range considerations
Westbound headwinds cut into effective range. A super-midsize jet such as a Challenger 350 or Citation Longitude may require a tech stop in Shannon, Reykjavik or Gander, adding time the heavy jets avoid.

Airports
London and New York gateways
Choosing the right airport pair shortens your ground time at both ends. International arrivals require customs and border clearance, so we confirm a CBP-equipped field on the US side.
- London Luton (LTN) and Farnborough (FAB) are the dedicated business-aviation favourites with fast, private FBO processing.
- Stansted (STN), Biggin Hill (BQH) and London City (LCY) add flexibility depending on where you are in or around London.
- Teterboro (TEB) in New Jersey is the classic private gateway closest to Manhattan, just a short transfer to Midtown.
- Westchester (HPN), Morristown (MMU) and Republic (FRG) serve as strong New York alternatives by traffic and location.
- We match the FBO, customs availability and ground transport to your final destination on both sides of the Atlantic.
Pricing and trips
One-way, round-trip and empty legs
We never publish fixed list prices because every charter is built around your aircraft, schedule and routing. Instead we quote transparent ranges and explain exactly what drives them.
One-way vs round-trip
A one-way London to New York booking can carry repositioning cost if the jet must fly empty to your departure point or back afterward. A round trip that keeps the aircraft and crew with you is often more efficient on a per-hour basis.
Repositioning
Crew duty limits on an eight-hour transatlantic leg can require an overnight and a fresh or augmented crew. We plan positioning, rest and return legs up front so there are no surprises in the final quote.
Empty-leg potential
This is a busy long-haul lane, so ultra-long-range jets reposition in both directions and create discounted empty legs. With flexible dates and airports we monitor live availability and alert you when a match appears.
Cost drivers
Aircraft category and range, total block hours, international handling, customs, navigation and landing fees, fuel prices and peak-date demand all move the number. We break each line item down so you can compare options clearly.
FAQ
Common questions
How long is a private jet flight from London to New York?
Westbound from London to New York, plan on roughly 7 hours 30 minutes to 8 hours 30 minutes of block time. You are flying into strong prevailing headwinds and against the jet stream, so this leg is consistently longer than the eastbound return, which often lands in around 6 hours 30 minutes to 7 hours. Exact timing depends on the aircraft type, payload, winds aloft and the specific airport pair.
Which aircraft can fly London to New York nonstop?
The great-circle distance is roughly 3,000 nautical miles, so you need a heavy or ultra-long-range jet. Aircraft such as the Gulfstream G550, G650 and G700, the Bombardier Global 6000, 6500, 7500 and 8000, the Dassault Falcon 7X, 8X and 6X, and the larger Challenger 650 routinely complete this lane nonstop. Super-midsize jets generally cannot make it westbound against headwinds without a technical fuel stop in Ireland, Iceland or Newfoundland.
Which airports are used for London to New York private flights?
On the London end, Luton (LTN) and Farnborough (FAB) are the dedicated business-aviation favorites, with Stansted (STN), Biggin Hill (BQH) and London City (LCY) also used. In the New York area, Teterboro (TEB) in New Jersey is the classic private-jet gateway closest to Manhattan, with Westchester (HPN), Morristown (MMU) and Republic (FRG) as alternatives. International arrivals require an airport with customs and border clearance.
What drives the cost of a London to New York private charter?
Cost is driven by aircraft category and range, total block hours including any repositioning, whether the trip is one-way or round-trip, crew duty and overnight requirements, international handling, customs, navigation and landing fees, fuel prices, and peak-date demand. A one-way booking can carry repositioning costs if the jet has to fly empty to or from your departure point, so a round trip or a well-matched empty leg is often more efficient. We quote transparent ranges, never fixed list prices.
Are empty-leg flights available between London and New York?
Yes. London to New York is a busy long-haul lane, so ultra-long-range jets regularly reposition in both directions, creating empty-leg opportunities at a meaningful discount. Empty legs require flexibility on date, time and sometimes airport, because they follow another client's schedule. Tell us your ideal window and we will monitor live availability and alert you when a matching empty leg appears.
