Private jet travel isn’t just about speed. It’s about ease. The ability to move when you choose, how you prefer, and without interruption. No queues. No waiting. No wasted time. Just calm, direct movement between the places that matter most.
If you’re flying from the UK or the UAE, you’re likely heading to one of a few key global hubs. Here’s what to expect on the most in-demand routes this year.
From the UK
London remains one of Europe’s most active hubs for private aviation. Whether you’re departing from Farnborough, Luton, or Biggin Hill, you can reach virtually any destination in the world with comfort and efficiency.
Flights from London to New York take around seven hours. Most of our clients choose to depart in the early morning or late afternoon, depending on whether they prefer to work in the air or rest. On arrival, you land at smaller private airports like Teterboro or White Plains, skipping the usual delays and moving straight into your ground transfer.
If you’re headed to Dubai, the journey takes just under seven hours. Evening departures from London pair well with overnight rest and early morning arrivals in the UAE. We typically fly into Dubai World Central or DXB’s private terminal, depending on the client's preference and onward plans.
Shorter routes are just as seamless. London to Nice or Cannes takes about two hours. London to Ibiza is closer to two and a half. These destinations are popular from spring through early autumn, often tied to villa stays, events, or yacht arrivals. We often arrange door-to-door transfers so the experience feels completely uninterrupted.
From the UAE
Dubai and Abu Dhabi serve as launch points for long-haul business travel and high-end escapes. Whether it’s a multi-city business trip or a quiet getaway, private aviation here is about comfort, control, and speed.
Dubai to London is one of the busiest international routes, with a flight time of just under seven hours. Departures are often late at night, allowing for uninterrupted sleep before an early landing in the UK.
Flying from Dubai to the Maldives takes just under five hours. Many clients arrive into Malé or Maafaru, where we’ve arranged a seamless transfer by yacht or seaplane to a private island. These flights are especially common around festive season and milestone celebrations.
We’re also seeing increased demand from the UAE to Paris, Zurich, and Geneva. These six- to seven-hour flights are ideal for business meetings, summer retreats, or winter escapes to the Alps. Cabin setups are typically split between rest and work, allowing travellers to land refreshed and ready.
Long-Haul Destinations
Flights from New York to Dubai take approximately twelve and a half hours. These are often flown on Gulfstream G700s or Global 7500s with full-service inflight dining, flat beds, and tailored comfort. Many clients treat these as overnight extensions of their home or office.
Singapore to Dubai sits at around seven and a half hours. This is a popular route for business leaders and investors with tight itineraries. It’s common for these charters to be arranged with only a few days’ notice.
For longer routes like Hong Kong to London, flight time is closer to thirteen hours. These journeys require attention to detail, from inflight crew rotation to timing cabin lighting with the time zones. Done right, you arrive rested and aligned with the day.
Time Saved, Beyond the Air
What truly sets private aviation apart isn’t just time in the air. It’s the time you save on the ground. You arrive minutes before takeoff. You bypass security and immigration. You land closer to your final destination. And everything in between is quiet, fast, and under control.
It’s not just about how long the flight is. It’s how little time you lose making it happen.
