Amsterdam to London by private jet takes about 52 min over 354 km, Amsterdam Schiphol to London Luton, normally on a light jet. Indicative price from €4 200 for the whole aircraft, one way. We quote against your dates within 30 minutes and the operations desk answers around the clock on +357 95 119759.
Schiphol to Luton in about 52 minutes - one of the shortest sectors we publish, and the one where the UK border, not the flying, decides your door-to-door time. Whole aircraft, single seats and empty legs, arranged 24/7.
REQUEST A QUOTEThis is a commuter sector between two very busy business-aviation fields. EBAA counted 26,661 business-aviation movements at London Luton in 2023 and 14,508 at Amsterdam Schiphol, so aircraft and crews sit at both ends and short-notice availability is good. What is not automatic is the border: since Brexit this is a flight out of the EU and out of Schengen.
Schiphol is a very large scheduled hub before it is anything else, and a business jet there competes for the same runways and stands as the airlines. At the London end there are three business-aviation fields to choose between, and the right one is simply the one nearest your first meeting.
| Airport | Codes | Distance | Suits you if |
|---|---|---|---|
| Amsterdam Schiphol | AMS / EHAM | 354 km | You are in Amsterdam itself or connecting off a long-haul arrival. It is slot coordinated, so we book the departure window in advance rather than choosing it on the morning. |
| Rotterdam The Hague | RTM / EHRD | the usual relief field | You are in Rotterdam, The Hague or the southern Randstad. Quieter than Schiphol and often faster on the ground when the hub is congested. |
| Lelystad | LEY / EHLE | the other relief field | You are east of Amsterdam and want to keep clear of hub traffic altogether. Tell us your dates and we will confirm what can be arranged there rather than guess. |
| London Luton | LTN / EGGW | arrival | The busiest UK business-aviation field and the widest choice of aircraft on the day. Farnborough (FAB / EGLF) takes no scheduled traffic at all and Biggin Hill (BQH / EGKB) suits south London and Kent. |

At 354 km this is a light jet sector and nothing more. The aircraft is airborne for roughly 52 minutes, which on a bad morning is less than the taxi at Schiphol, so cabin size here is a comfort preference rather than a range decision. What matters more is which operator can hold your departure slot.
The default on this sector. Quick to arrange from either end, economical over 354 km, and small enough to be easy to place at Schiphol when stands are tight.
See the Phenom 300 ›A smaller, cheaper light jet for two or three people going over for a day of meetings and back. Briefcases and hand luggage rather than a week of suitcases.
See the Citation CJ2 ›The value option when the diary is fixed and the trip is short. It cruises more slowly than a newer light jet, which on a leg of under an hour costs you very little.
See the Citation Bravo ›All three types are on our own fleet pages. If you want a larger cabin on this sector we arrange that too.

There is no published one-way price for Amsterdam to London that we would stand behind, so the figure above is a floor rather than a quotation. What we can do is say honestly what moves the number on this particular sector, because on a leg this short the flying is the smallest part of it.
The hourly rate you find online is the wrong tool here. Brokers publish a European light jet range of EUR 4,600 to 7,300 per hour and others quote from EUR 2,900 per hour, both retrieved in 2026. Those are hourly rates for the aircraft class, not prices for this route. Multiply either by 52 minutes and you get a figure no operator will honour, because a short sector is priced on the minimum charge, the crew day and the positioning flight rather than on the clock.
Three things actually move your quotation. Where the aircraft happens to be that morning. Whether you are flying one way or coming back the same day - a same-day return is often cheaper per leg, because the aircraft is not left stranded in the wrong country. And the handling and border charges at both ends, which on a sector this short are a visible share of the bill. Give us your dates and we will price it against them.
This is a business route and it follows the working year rather than the holiday one. The pattern on the pairing is March to June and September to November, with a clear lull in August and another over the late-December holidays.
| Period | What happens | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| March to June | The strongest stretch of the year. Board meetings, deal timetables and trade events fill the Tuesday to Thursday mornings in both directions. | A week ahead for a morning departure out of Schiphol. The early slots go first. |
| July to August | Corporate travel thins out across northern Europe and the fleet drifts south to the Mediterranean, so fewer aircraft sit at Schiphol and Luton. | Good value if your trip is business rather than leisure, but confirm earlier than you would in spring, because the aircraft may have to come to you. |
| September to November | The second business peak. Autumn conference season and year-end deal work put pressure on the same midweek morning windows. | Two weeks out for a fixed date. Ask about a same-day return, which is usually the cheaper shape of trip. |
| Late December | Quiet. Offices close on both sides of the North Sea and the corporate traffic stops almost completely. | The best time of year to ask us about an empty leg between the Netherlands and the United Kingdom. |
Very few of our Amsterdam passengers stop in London. Luton, Farnborough and Biggin Hill all sit inside Europe's busiest business-aviation corridor, so the connecting sector is usually easier to arrange than the first one.
Back across the Channel and back inside Schengen. A short hop we run in both directions, and a common second leg on a two-city day.
London to Paris ›The Cote d'Azur run, and the busiest business-aviation corridor in Europe. If your Amsterdam meeting ends on a Friday, this is often where the aircraft is going next.
London to Nice ›The Balearic leg in summer. Worth asking about in July and August, when the London fleet is repositioning south and empty legs appear in this direction.
London to Palma ›Tell us your dates and how many of you there are. Your dedicated flight advisor will come back with aircraft options and a firm price.
