Private Jet Charter in Tel Aviv

Most private flights depart from Ben Gurion Airport (TLV), near Tel Aviv, Israel’s main international airport, which handles private and business jets. In the south, Ramon Airport (ETM), about 18 km north of Eilat, serves Eilat and the surrounding region. Haifa Airport (HFA) has a short runway and is suitable for small aircraft only. Your advisor will confirm which airport works for your aircraft, passengers and destination.

Yes. Passport control and security checks apply to private flights in Israel too, so every passenger needs a valid passport and any visa the destination requires. What changes is the coordination: your personal advisor arranges your arrival time at the airport in advance and tells you exactly when to come and what to bring. Send passport details for all passengers when you book, so the paperwork is ready before the flight.

Approximate flight times from Tel Aviv: Larnaca about 45 minutes and Paphos about 50; Athens and Mykonos around 2 hours; Dubai around 3 hours, depending on routing; Rome 3¼–3½ hours; Nice 3¾–4 hours; Paris 4½–5 hours; London 5–5½ hours. New York takes roughly 11½–12½ hours non-stop in an ultra-long-range jet. Actual times vary with the aircraft, winds and routing.

Yes to both, on request. Kosher catering can be arranged (just tell us the level of kashrut you keep), along with other dietary requirements. Pets usually travel in the cabin with their owners, subject to the aircraft operator’s approval. Entry rules depend on the destination: commonly a microchip, a valid rabies vaccination and an official veterinary health certificate, and some countries also require a rabies antibody test weeks or months ahead. The UK, for example, accepts pets on private aircraft only via approved routes and airports.

There is no fixed price: it depends on the aircraft category, flight time, positioning (when an aircraft based abroad has to fly empty to Ben Gurion or back to base), airport and handling fees, crew expenses, catering, season and dates. Demand rises around the Jewish holidays and in summer, so book early for those periods. Empty-leg flights, flexible dates and the right aircraft size can reduce the cost.
