London to New York is the ultimate transatlantic charter route, connecting the world's two leading financial capitals. At 3,000 nm, this requires a heavy or ultra-long-range jet. Teterboro airport in New Jersey is the premier private aviation gateway to Manhattan, located just 12 miles from Midtown.
US customs pre-clearance is not available at UK airports, so expect customs processing on arrival at Teterboro or your chosen US airport. The 7.5-hour westbound flight demands a comfortable heavy jet with lie-flat seating, catering, and connectivity. Eastbound returns are faster due to prevailing tailwinds.
September (UN General Assembly) and late-year financial conference season see the highest demand. Summer holiday periods and major events like the US Open also drive premium pricing. January and February typically offer the most competitive rates.
Only heavy and ultra-long-range jets can complete this route. The Bombardier Global 6000 and Gulfstream G650 are the gold standard, offering lie-flat beds, full galley service, and Wi-Fi. The Challenger 604 can also make the crossing but with tighter range margins.
How much is a private jet from London to New York?
Heavy jets capable of the transatlantic crossing start from approximately £65,000 one-way. Ultra-long-range jets like the Global 6000 or Gulfstream G650 are required for this route.
How long is the flight by private jet?
Approximately 7 hours 30 minutes westbound. Eastbound return flights benefit from tailwinds and typically take 6 hours 30 minutes.
Can a light or midsize jet fly London to New York?
No. The 3,000 nm transatlantic distance requires a heavy or ultra-long-range jet. Aircraft like the Challenger 604, Global 6000, or Gulfstream G650 are the standard choices.
