Tel Aviv Private Jet Charter Flights
Plenty of people fly into Tel Aviv for business. Tech companies and investors have offices along Rothschild Boulevard and in the towers around Sarona, and the Israel Diamond Exchange is just over the city line in Ramat Gan. Sunday is a normal working day here, since Israel’s week runs Sunday to Thursday. Try to wrap up anything important by Friday morning, though. From Friday afternoon until Saturday night many businesses shut, and most buses and trains stop running.
Leave Paris at 8 a.m. on a Thursday and you can make a mid-afternoon meeting on Rothschild Boulevard. If you have an evening free, it’s worth walking down to Old Jaffa for dinner by the port.
Ben Gurion Airport handled 18.4 million passengers in 2025, so it’s a busy place for a private jet. Slots are hard to get during the early-morning and afternoon airline peaks, which is why we plan your arrival time around them. Israel’s airspace has also closed at short notice during recent conflicts, most recently in spring 2026, so we check the situation again before every departure.
What Does a Private Jet to Tel Aviv Cost?
A quick hop to Larnaca in Cyprus is the cheapest trip on this page, at roughly $5,000 to $5,700 in a light jet. For Western Europe, a super-midsize jet does the job nonstop and charters for about $5,900 to $6,500 an hour; London starts at around $44,000 one way. Flying in from the US is a different scale. New York to Tel Aviv starts at about $107,000 depending on the aircraft, and flying it nonstop takes an ultra-long-range jet at up to $17,500 an hour.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do US citizens need anything before flying to Israel?
Yes, an ETA-IL, Israel’s online travel authorization. It costs 25 shekels (about $7) and is valid for up to two years. Most replies come by email within moments, but allow up to 72 hours.
Can I fly nonstop from the US to Tel Aviv?
Yes, if you book an ultra-long-range jet such as the Gulfstream G700. From New York it’s about 4,900 nm (about 5,670 miles) to Ben Gurion, which works out to roughly 10 hours 10 minutes to 11 hours 35 minutes in the air. Plan on about 10 hours 10 minutes to 11 hours 35 minutes in the air.
What if Israeli airspace closes before my trip?
Your flight can either wait until the airspace reopens or go to Larnaca in Cyprus, which is open 24 hours a day. We’ll call you as soon as there’s news and help you decide which makes more sense for your trip.
