Brexit's influence on domestic private jet charter in the UK

Brexit has reshaped many sectors, and the domestic private jet charter industry in the UK hasn't been spared, which could impact your private jet charter from London to Edinburgh. Since Brexit, only UK-registered aircraft are allowed for domestic private jet charters within the UK and so with a reduced fleet, demand often surpasses supply, leading to a surge in private jet charter rates.

Not to mention, operators have navigated a new regulatory landscape, transitioning from the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA)to the UK Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) for compliance. Moreover, potential tariffs on aviation parts and increased administrative tasks due to customs procedures may contribute to rising operational costs for private jet hire.

As the sector continues to adjust, clients are advised to book their charters in advance to secure optimal rates and availability. Read our full advice.
