London to Jersey is 251 km and roughly 32 minutes in the air from Farnborough to Jersey Airport, by the Aviapages calculator on a Pilatus PC-24. It is about as short as a jet sector gets, so most of the value is on the ground: a business-aviation terminal at each end and no queue in between. Indicative price from €2 500 one way for the whole aircraft. A written price follows inside 30 minutes; +357 95 119759 answers day and night.
Surrey to St Helier before a coffee has gone cold: a Channel crossing measured in minutes rather than in a morning.
REQUEST A QUOTEA short hop south-west over the Channel. The island is a Crown Dependency with its own customs, and its single runway is the one number on this route worth knowing before you choose an aeroplane.

Three London fields can start this flight, and the island has one airport. Which London field you use is a question of where you sleep the night before.
| Airport | Codes | Great-circle to Jersey | Why it is on this list |
|---|---|---|---|
| Farnborough | FAB / EGLF | 251 km | The field the time on this page is calculated from. Business aviation only, no scheduled traffic, and the natural start for Surrey, Hampshire and the south-western side of London. Farnborough airport page. |
| London Biggin Hill | BQH / EGKB | 284 km | Thirty-odd kilometres further from the island, and much nearer if your morning begins in the City, Canary Wharf or Kent. Runway 03/21, 1,806 m. Biggin Hill airport page. |
| London Luton | LTN / EGGW | 323 km | The longest of the three sectors, worth it when you are north of the Thames. 26,661 business-aviation movements in 2023 (EBAA) mean a deep choice of aircraft on the day. Runway 07/25 is 2,162 m. Luton airport page. |
| Jersey | JER / EGJJ | arrival | In St Peter, on the west of the island, with runway 08/26 at 1,705 m. That length is generous for the PC-24 and the Citation XLS and decides the question for anything much bigger. |
On a half-hour sector the cabin matters less than how quickly the aircraft is airborne and down again. The two types most often seen here are both comfortable on a 1,705 m runway.
The type the Aviapages time is calculated on. A small jet designed for shorter runways, which is exactly the profile of this island.
Partner operators' aircraft ›Seven or eight seats and a cabin you can stand in. A good answer when the party travels with luggage for a long weekend.
Citation XLS+ ›Six to eight seats; a light jet that suits a short hop with a small party.
Phenom 300 ›Seat bands come from our own aircraft pages. A larger cabin into Jersey is quoted only after the specific type has been checked against the runway and the load.
From €2 500 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.
On a half-hour hop the time in the air is the smallest part of the cost. What separates two offers is where the aircraft spent the night before and whether it waits on the island for your return.
A same-day return is often the economical shape for Jersey: the aeroplane stays on the ground at St Peter while you are in meetings, and you avoid paying for it to fly home empty and come back.
This is an indication rather than an offer. Only a written quotation against your dates is a price. Call +357 95 119759, 24/7.
GET A FIRM PRICEMuch of the traffic is professional rather than holiday travel. Jersey is an international finance centre, and a day of meetings in St Helier followed by an evening back in Surrey is a pattern the half-hour flight makes easy.
The rest is the island itself: second homes, family visits and weekends. For those, tell us at enquiry how much luggage and sports equipment is coming, because hold space rather than range is what separates the PC-24 from a larger cabin on this route.
If the island is one stop on a longer European trip, Le Bourget is the obvious next field.
London to Paris ›The way home, with notes on choosing the London field by your evening address.
Jersey to London ›Seats rather than the whole aircraft, when a shared flight exists on your date.
Jet sharing ›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.
