Air taxi rates
Air taxi prices from £2,950 for the whole aircraft
An air taxi is priced per aircraft, not per seat. You charter the whole plane, so the more passengers, the lower the cost per person.
If the flight is cancelled because of the weather, you pay nothing.

What moves the price
What decides the cost of an air taxi
A flight in an air taxi private plane varies with your route. An air taxi is primarily a flight from a local or regional airport that is a short hop, typically within Europe or the UK, for generally up to 8 passengers.
The aircraft
Smaller, efficient aircraft such as the DA62 cost less to operate than a turboprop or jet.
The distance
Flight time is the biggest driver, so a short hop costs far less than a long sector.
The day and airports
Peak dates, busy airports and handling fees can change the price, which is why we quote each flight.
The size of your group
You hire the whole plane, so a full aircraft brings the cost per person right down.
Compare the cost
Air taxi against a commercial flight
When you look at air taxi costs versus commercial flights, they compare on a per-passenger basis. It is important to remember that with an air taxi you are chartering the whole plane. If you hire a private plane with seven seats and put one passenger on, you can use the other six seats.
For short flights with a small group an air taxi is often cheaper than a private jet, because it uses smaller aircraft that cost less to operate. For longer flights or larger groups a light jet can be better value, and we quote both where it makes sense.
An air taxi can be a small private jet, a prop plane or a helicopter. The media have popularised the term, but it is essentially a cost-efficient way to use private air charter and enjoy the same service level, comfort and time saving you would if you chartered a larger private jet.

Air taxi safety

Air taxi flights mean your biosecurity level is far more comfortable than being on a commercial flight: no standing in line with other people, no walking through large busy public terminals. You turn up and fly, and we even pre-clear you with border control.
