Airports in Dubai and London

Dubai has two airports for private flights. At Al Maktoum International (DWC), every private flight needs a landing permit from the Dubai Civil Aviation Authority and an airport slot, according to Dubai Airports’ conditions of use for general aviation at DWC. The same document also lists five approved private terminals, often called FBOs, on the airport. Dubai International (DXB) is closer to the city centre, but it is a slot-coordinated hub. Its general aviation conditions block private arrivals and departures during several windows each day, to protect airline peaks.

In London, Farnborough is a business aviation airport with no scheduled flights, according to the UK AIP. Its hours are 07:00 to 22:00 on weekdays and 08:00 to 20:00 at weekends and on bank holidays, according to Farnborough Airport. Biggin Hill and Luton are also options in the south-east and north.

Which private jet for Dubai to London

Our estimator treats a super midsize jet as the smallest class for this distance. Whether it flies nonstop on your date depends on passengers, bags and winds, which the operator confirms. A large-cabin jet gives more margin and a stand-up cabin with a proper rest area. Ultra-long-range jets add space for a bigger group and the most range against winter headwinds.

Private jet Dubai to London, flight time and hourly prices

Our estimator puts the private jet Dubai to London flight at about 6 h 50 to 7 h 05 in still air. The hourly ranges below come from our price estimator, updated on 2 November 2026.

Aircraft class	Typical seats	Flight time (still air)	Hourly range
Super midsize jet	8 to 10	about 7 h 05	€6,950 to €8,700
Large-cabin jet	10 to 14	about 6 h 55	€8,350 to €11,550
Ultra-long-range jet	12 to 16	about 6 h 50	€13,900 to €20,850

Flight times use the great-circle distance plus 5% for routing, then a typical cruise speed for each class and a taxi allowance. Winds are not included, and airspace advisories between the Gulf and Europe can lengthen the route. Positioning, the return leg and airport fees then shape the final price.

What a quote includes

A quote is for the whole aircraft. It covers flight time, fuel, crew, positioning and crew rest on longer trips. Airport, slot, handling and passenger charges appear as separate lines. Our page on what is in your private jet charter quote explains each one.

Border formalities and time difference

UK entry rules depend on your passport. For example, nationals of the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain and Oman need a UK Electronic Travel Authorisation, and so do most Europeans. Dubai is four hours ahead of London in winter and three hours ahead in summer, because the UAE does not change its clocks.

A pilot’s note

Julien, who flies the Airbus A350 on long-haul airline routes, always checks the winds on this sector. Westbound from the Gulf, jets usually fly into the prevailing westerly winds, so the flight to London often takes longer than the eastbound flight from London, which has those winds behind it. For a tight landing time at Farnborough, we ask the operator to plan with the forecast wind, not the still-air figure.
