London to Antalya Private Jet — 4h08, from €35 900

The route at a glance

Nearly three thousand kilometres puts this at the comfortable end of super-midsize range rather than the edge of it, so the aircraft is rarely the problem. What defines the route is that it is almost entirely a summer one. Antalya in July and August handles an extraordinary volume of holiday traffic, and business aviation fits into a system built around that rather than the other way round. In May or in October the same trip is a different and far easier proposition, and the price reflects it.

The distance is a great-circle figure between airport coordinates in the OurAirports open dataset, so the track actually flown is longer. The time is a model estimate rather than a measured block time: it comes from a model fitted to flight times Diamond Executive Aero Services already publishes on this website, it takes no view of direction, and routing, wind and aircraft type all move it. Flown south-east you are usually working with the prevailing winds rather than against them, so of a return pair the homeward leg is the one more likely to run long. Your quotation carries the real schedule.

Which airports we use

Three departure fields in London that differ by an hour on the road and by minutes in the air, and at the other end a main airport with one genuine alternative that only helps if you are going to the right part of the coast. The Turkish Riviera is long, and where along it you are staying decides more than the aeroplane does.

Airport	Codes	Codes	What it means for you
London Luton	LTN / EGGW	departure, default	Where most of this traffic leaves from, the widest choice of aircraft on any given day, and the field every distance and time on this page is measured from. It logged 26,661 business-aviation movements in 2023, among the busiest in Europe.
Farnborough and Biggin Hill	FAB / EGLF, BQH / EGKB	departure, alternatives	Farnborough takes no scheduled traffic at all and suits west London, the Thames Valley and Surrey; Biggin Hill suits the City, Canary Wharf, south London and Kent. On a four-hour sector the difference between the three in the air is a couple of minutes, so this is a road decision and nothing else.
Antalya	AYT / LTAI	arrival, default	The main airport of the Turkish Riviera, on the coast and close to the city, with business-aviation handling arranged separately from the scheduled terminals. In high summer it carries an enormous volume of holiday traffic, which shows up as pressure on handling and ground time rather than as any doubt about whether you can land. Every figure on this page is measured to it.
Gazipaşa	GZP / LTFG	arrival, eastern coast	East of Antalya and much the closer field for Alanya and the eastern resorts. It is a smaller airport with lighter handling, so it wants arranging in advance rather than assuming on the day — but for a party staying east along the coast it can remove a very long drive at the end of the journey.

Turkish airports are outside the EBAA dataset. Which handling facility your aircraft uses at either end is confirmed with the agent for your dates rather than promised from a web page.

Aircraft for London to Antalya

At 2,949 km with a full cabin this is a super-midsize sector, and all three types below cross it non-stop without anyone having to leave luggage behind so the aeroplane can carry fuel. Because this is a holiday route rather than a meeting route, the hold matters more here than on almost anything else we publish: four people travelling for a fortnight carry more than eight travelling for a day.

Bombardier Challenger 350

Eight to ten passengers, a flat floor and a hold that takes a summer’s luggage rather than a briefcase each. The commonest type on sectors of this length and usually the easiest to place when the dates are tight.

See the Bombardier Challenger 350 ›

Cessna Citation Sovereign

Nine to twelve passengers, and the most forgiving of the three about shorter runways — which is what makes it the sensible answer if the trip might end at Gazipaşa rather than Antalya.

See the Cessna Citation Sovereign ›

Gulfstream G280

Eight to ten passengers and the fastest of the three, with range well beyond what this sector asks. Worth the surplus when Antalya is the middle stop of a Mediterranean week rather than the end of the journey.

See the Gulfstream G280 ›

All three have their own pages in our fleet. For a party of twelve with real luggage, ask about a Legacy 650 or a Challenger 605 instead — the sector is well inside their range and the hold is a different order of thing. Luggage limits by aircraft type are set out separately.

What it costs

From €35 900 one way. Indicative starting price for this route, rounded down. The date, the aircraft actually available and airport fees move it — tell us your dates and we confirm within 30 minutes.

No published whole-aircraft route price for London to Antalya has reached us from a source we would be willing to reprint, so the figure above is calculated rather than quoted: the bottom of the published European super-midsize hourly range applied to the flight time on this page, rounded down. It is a floor derived from market rates, not our tariff.

One thing about that calculation deserves saying out loud. For the light, midsize and long-range classes our sources publish an explicit entry-level hourly rate — a figure labelled "from". For super-midsize they publish no such figure, so the number above rests on the bottom of a published range instead. That is a less conservative basis than we use elsewhere on this website, and the floor should be read with that in mind.

The variable that actually decides your number on this route is the week rather than the aeroplane. In late May or early October a quotation sits close to what the hourly references suggest. In the middle of August three things happen at once: everybody wants the same Friday, handling at the Antalya end is working at capacity, and ramp parking has to be arranged rather than assumed. If the aircraft cannot stay, it drops you and leaves — which is a different quotation from one where it waits. For a two-week stay, leaving is almost always the right answer; for three nights, waiting often is.

The hourly ranges are third-party published estimates, reprinted so that you can test a quotation against them — ours included. None is our offer and none binds anybody. The floor at the top of this page is a calculation with its inputs stated, published in preference to a route price we cannot source: a number invented to fill a table would be worse than none.

When to fly, and when to book early

This is a seasonal route in the strongest sense: the difference between the middle of August and the middle of May is not a few percent, it is a different market. Read the table below before you fix dates, because on this corridor moving a trip by three weeks does more for the price than changing the aircraft does.

Period	What happens	What to do
June to September	The season. Demand concentrates on Friday and Saturday departures out of London and on the return at the other end of the fortnight, and the Antalya end is working at capacity throughout. Ramp parking for an aircraft that intends to stay becomes something to arrange rather than assume.	Four to six weeks for a peak Friday in July or August. Fix the dates first and the aircraft second — the choice narrows before the price moves.
May and October	The shoulders, and much the best value of the year. The coast is open, the weather is good, the airport is working at an ordinary pace and the choice of aircraft on any given date is wide.	One to two weeks. If your dates can move at all, move them here: it is the same trip for appreciably less.
Weekend peaks in season	Within the summer, the pattern is weekly rather than monthly. Saturday outbound and the Saturday a fortnight later are the two hardest days of any given week to place an aircraft on.	Ask about a Thursday or a Sunday. A day either side of the crowd frequently changes the quotation more than anything else you can do.
November to April	The quiet half of the year on this pairing. The coast is out of season and the traffic is business-shaped and thin rather than absent.	Short notice is realistic and the route is easy to arrange. Handling at both ends keeps a lighter rhythm than in summer.

Around the Turkish coast and back

Antalya is one end of a long coastline, and a fair number of parties treat it as the start of a Mediterranean fortnight rather than the whole of it.

West along the coast to Bodrum

Bodrum is the other Turkish coastal route we publish, and for a party moving between the two halves of the Aegean season it is the obvious second leg.

London to Bodrum ›

Across to the Greek islands

London to Mykonos is a route we publish, and the Aegean season runs on both sides of the water at once.

Or on to Larnaca

Cyprus is a short hop from the Turkish coast, and Larnaca is where our own operations desk sits.

Questions we get about this route

How long is the flight from London to Antalya by private jet?

About 4 hours 8 minutes non-stop over 2,949 km from Luton, and we publish the same figure for the flight back. It is a model estimate rather than a measured block time. Flown south-east you are generally working with the prevailing winds, so of a return pair the homeward leg is the one more likely to run long. Allow roughly fifteen minutes on the ground at each end.

Can a private jet fly London to Antalya non-stop?

Yes, comfortably. A Challenger 350, Citation Sovereign or Gulfstream G280 crosses 2,949 km with the cabin full and the hold loaded and lands with margin. Range is not the constraint on this route; hold volume and the calendar are. If a quotation you are given includes a fuel stop, ask what aircraft it is built around before you ask the price.

Antalya or Gazipaşa?

Antalya unless you are staying east along the coast. Antalya is the main field, has the deepest handling and sits close to the city; Gazipaşa is much the nearer airport for Alanya and the eastern resorts and can save a long drive at the end of a four-hour flight. Gazipaşa is a smaller airport with lighter handling, so it wants arranging in advance rather than assuming on the day. Tell us the resort or the address and we will tell you which field actually serves it.

Which London airport should we leave from?

Whichever is closest to where your morning starts. At this range the three are within a couple of minutes of each other in the air. Luton carries the widest choice of aircraft and handling on any given day; Farnborough takes no scheduled traffic at all and suits west London and the Thames Valley; Biggin Hill suits the City, Canary Wharf and Kent. Give us the postcode and we will name the field.

How much does a private jet from London to Antalya cost?

From €35 900 one way for the whole aircraft as our own indicative floor. No published price for this exact city pair has reached us from a source we would reprint, so it is the bottom of the published European super-midsize hourly range — about 8,700 EUR an hour against a top of roughly 15,000 EUR — applied to the 4 h 08 flight time and rounded down. Note that for this cabin class our sources publish no explicit entry-level rate, so the floor rests on the bottom of a range rather than on a figure labelled "from".

When is the cheapest time to fly this route?

May and October, by a clear margin, and within the summer a Thursday or a Sunday rather than a Saturday. On this corridor the calendar does more to the quotation than anything else you can change — moving a trip out of the second and third weeks of August is worth more than moving down a cabin class. If the dates are genuinely fixed in high season, book four to six weeks out.

Should the aircraft wait for us or come back?

It depends entirely on how long you are staying. For a fortnight, the aeroplane should leave — paying for it to stand on a busy summer ramp for two weeks makes no sense. For three or four nights, keeping it with you frequently costs less than two separate one-way sectors, because it repositions once instead of twice. Tell us the shape of the whole trip and we will price both and show you the difference.

What paperwork do we need?

The complete passenger list with full passport details as early as you have it, and the resort or address at the Turkish end. Arriving in Turkey from the United Kingdom is an international arrival with the ordinary formalities, carried out at a business-aviation facility rather than in a hall. Entry requirements depend on each passenger’s nationality and are set by the Turkish authorities rather than by us, so check the current official guidance for your party before you travel.

Are there empty legs on this corridor?

In season, reasonably often. A summer route that carries parties out for a fortnight generates repositioning flights in both directions, and brokers publish discounts of 50 to 75 percent on them. They are led by dates rather than by routes, so the way to use them is to tell us which week could move rather than to watch a list. On flights we open for sharing you can also buy a single seat instead of the whole aircraft. Current empty legs and more about jet sharing.
