Which London Airport?
Luton (LTN) — most common choice
- General aviation terminal with fast handling
- 30 miles from central London (45-60 min by car)
- Best fit for groups arriving from North/Central London
Farnborough (FAB) — premium option
- Dedicated business aviation airport (no commercial traffic)
- 40 miles southwest of London
- Slightly higher landing fees but faster everything
- Preferred for ultra-long-range departures
London City (LCY) — short runway limits aircraft
- Only specific midsize jets (Falcon 2000, Embraer Legacy) can depart
- Best for passengers living in/near Canary Wharf
- Most flexible scheduling but limited aircraft choice
Heathrow (LHR) — least preferred
- Private aviation operates from T2 or T5
- Slot restrictions and fees make it 20-40% more expensive
- Only makes sense if connecting from commercial arrival

FAQs
What is the closest airport to Marbella for private jets?
Malaga-Costa del Sol (AGP) is 40 minutes from Marbella. Gibraltar (GIB) works for Sotogrande-area destinations and sits 30 minutes from San Roque.
Can I land a G650 at Malaga?
Yes. AGP runway is 10,499 feet long and handles every business jet including Gulfstream G650/G700 and Global 7500 without restrictions.
How early should I arrive at the FBO?
45 minutes before scheduled departure is standard. Check-in, luggage, and aircraft boarding are completed well within that window.
Is a return London-Marbella-London round trip cheaper than one-way each direction?
Not necessarily. Round-trip rates depend on whether the aircraft repositions between your flights or holds at destination. For stays over 3 days, one-way each direction (potentially with an empty-leg return) is often cheaper than holding the aircraft.
Can I bring my dog on a private jet London-Marbella?
Yes. Pets fly in the cabin on private charters. You need EU pet passport with rabies vaccination and microchip. Notify the operator at booking.
