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

Brexit has significantly impacted the UK domestic private jet charter industry:

• Only UK-registered aircraft are now permitted for domestic charters, reducing fleet availability and driving up rates as demand exceeds supply.
• Operators have transitioned from the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) to the UK Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) compliance, requiring navigation of new regulatory frameworks.
• Potential tariffs on aviation parts and increased customs procedures contribute to rising operational costs.

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.
