Helsinki Private Jet Charter Flights
Flights from the south cross the Gulf of Finland and the islands near Helsinki before descending toward Vantaa. From there, the route into the city ends at the Esplanade and the harbor, located below Senate Square. Passengers on private jets arrive in Helsinki for meetings in the city center and at the Keilaniemi office towers, located on the opposite shore of the gulf in Espoo. Every year in late fall, the “Slush” startup conference fills the Helsinki Exhibition and Convention Center with founders and investors.
Helsinki Airport (HEL) handles nearly all private jet flights to Helsinki via Finavia’s business and VIP terminal and the Jetflight FBO. Turku Airport (TKU) on the southwestern coast and Tampere-Pirkkala Airport (TMP) in the north are regional alternatives. Helsinki in the summer means long evenings by the water, with a ferry ride to the Suomenlinna sea fortress.
What Does a Private Jet to or from Helsinki Cost?
The cost of chartering a private jet to or from Helsinki ranges from $3,500 to $18,000 per hour. These hourly rates vary depending on aircraft category, model, year of manufacture, onboard amenities, flight time, and itinerary. They include aircraft-specific costs, such as the aircraft, maintenance, crew, insurance, and fuel.
Private Jet Airports near Helsinki
Three airports serve charter flights on private planes to Helsinki and southern Finland.
- Helsinki Airport (HEL): Located 11 miles north of downtown Helsinki, in the city of Vantaa. The longest runway is 11,286 feet; the airport operates 24 hours a day with no nighttime restrictions.
- Turku Airport (TKU): approximately 100 miles west of Helsinki by road. Turku is the closest airport to the Turku Archipelago and the resort town of Naantali.
- Tampere-Pirkkala Airport (TMP): approximately 110 miles north of Helsinki by road. Tampere is the ideal airport for conducting business in Finland’s second-largest metropolitan area.
Passengers on private jets at Helsinki Airport use Finavia’s business and VIP terminal, located in the southern part of the apron; Jetflite and Swissport also provide services for private flights.
- Lounge Areas: The business and VIP terminal has its own entrance and exit, and Finavia’s FBO operates 24 hours a day. Finland is part of the Schengen Area, so passengers arriving from Stockholm or Nice pass through passport control without delay, while passengers from London go through passport control directly in the terminal.
- Ground Transportation: You can park your car right next to the terminal, and we’ll arrange a driver for your trip to the city center, which is 11 miles away. The Ring Rail Line also runs from the airport to Helsinki Central Station.
- Aircraft Services: Fueling and de-icing services are available at Helsinki Airport, and Jetflite’s hangars accommodate aircraft up to the size of a Gulfstream G450 and Global 6000. A hangar with overnight heating ensures a warm cabin for early winter departures.
- Concierge Services: We can book rooms at the Kämp Hotel on the Esplanade or the St. George Hotel, as well as arrange in-flight meals for your return flight. During Slush Week, we recommend booking flights and hotels in advance.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is it possible to fly by private plane directly from Helsinki to Lapland?
Yes. Kittilä Airport serves the Levi ski resort, and Rovaniemi Airport serves the Arctic Circle region; both are about an hour and 15 minutes by light jet from Helsinki. Jetflite also offers private flights to the airports in Kittilä, Rovaniemi, and Ivalo. During the December holidays, when demand for trips to Lapland peaks, we recommend booking your flight and accommodations in advance.
How much does a private jet flight from Helsinki to Stockholm cost?
A one-way private jet flight from Helsinki to Stockholm costs $8,500 on a light jet and up to $24,000 on a heavy jet. Flight rates for turboprops start at $3,500 per hour, for light jets at $4,500, for midsize jets at $7,500, and for heavy jets at $13,000. All routes from Helsinki cost between $3,500 and $18,000 per hour.
How does winter affect private jet departures from Helsinki?
Allow for de-icing time on cold mornings, which the operator factors into the schedule. If the aircraft spends the night in a heated hangar, the cabin will be warm upon landing, and de-icing will take less time. Helsinki Airport operates 24 hours a day, so a late return from Lapland or a delay at a meeting in the city center doesn’t mean you’ll miss your flight.
