How do I charter a private jet?

Contact Villiers to receive a tailored quote for your route, dates, and passenger count. Our team sources aircraft from a network of 10,000+ jets operated by 7,000+ operators worldwide, and provides a personalised itinerary within hours.

How much does it cost to charter a private jet?

Private jet charter prices vary based on aircraft category, route, and duration. A light jet for a short European hop typically starts from around £3,000–£6,000 one way, while transatlantic heavy jets start from £50,000+. Contact us for an exact quote.

What are empty leg flights?

Empty leg flights occur when a private jet repositions to its next charter or returns to base without passengers. Villiers offers these at up to 75% off standard charter rates, making luxury private travel significantly more accessible.

How far in advance should I book a private jet?

We can arrange a charter in as little as a few hours for urgent travel, though booking 24–48 hours in advance gives the best aircraft selection. For peak dates and popular routes, earlier booking is recommended.

Is private jet charter safe?

Yes. All aircraft in our network meet stringent safety standards including ARGUS and Wyvern certification. Every operator is vetted for safety record, maintenance standards, and crew qualifications before being admitted to our network.
