Guide prices: These indicative charter prices are generated by the LunaJets pricing model using historical charter quotations. Prices may be based on an aircraft family represented by the model shown. These estimates use a reference travel date and may differ for your chosen dates. A final quotation is required for your itinerary, travel date and aircraft availability.

Aircraft selection and estimated flight times
Aircraft selection: The five aircraft models displayed for each route are the most frequently used on that route in the flight records. Flights across the cities’ main airports are combined when selecting them.
Estimated flight times: Flight times are calculated estimates based on route distance, aircraft performance and recorded durations for the same aircraft model or comparable flights. Times are rounded to the nearest 5 minutes and may vary with routing and operating conditions. Flight-time calibration uses records from 2020 through October 2026.
Flight activity: sources and methodology
Activity methodology: LunaJets filters and enriches the recorded flights by matching them to airports, cities and aircraft categories, then aggregating them. Figures cover 1 January to 31 December 2025. The figures include private and business jets, VIP aircraft and turboprops. Helicopters and scheduled airline flights are excluded. The data was generated on 14 October 2026. This generation date is separate from the activity year.
Definitions: A private aviation movement is one recorded departure or arrival at an airport serving a city. A flight between Edinburgh and another city counts once in Edinburgh’s route total, whether arriving or departing. A return flight counts as a separate movement. A connected city is a distinct city with at least one qualifying private aviation flight to or from Edinburgh during 2025. The connected-city count covers the routes included in this dataset, not just those displayed in the table.
Busiest periods: Busiest periods identify a significant seasonal concentration in recorded movements in both directions during 2025. Isolated spikes are filtered out. Year-round means no qualifying seasonal concentration was identified, although activity can vary between months. A classification requires at least 30 annual movements, 99% statistical significance and an average monthly activity rate at least 1.75 times the rest of the year. Single-month periods also require recurrence checks using January to August 2026 records.

What can you do in Edinburgh?
Travel to Edinburgh on a private jet. Make sure you can see and do all there is in Edinburgh on your schedule. Charter the aircraft you need for all your passengers and get to Scotland hassle-free after an excellent flight experience.
There are breathtaking sights in the Scottish capital. And some sights will scare the breath out of you. Here's a look at some sights of Edinburgh.
Arthur's Seat
Have you ever wanted to visit Camelot? Legend has it that Arthur's Seat was home to King Arthur and his knights. What's true about Arthur's Seat is that it sits atop an extinct volcano at the bottom of the Royal Mile. It is called a volcanic plug.
Edinburgh Castle
Edinburgh Castle sits on a volcanic outcrop overlooking the city and is one of the oldest fortified places in Europe. As you walk up Castle Hill, you are walking in the footsteps of kings and queens. The castle has functioned as a royal residence, a military garrison, and even a prison. Interestingly, it is available for hire for private functions, making it a perfect location for a private, family dinner.
Scotch Whisky Experience
This is a must for any discerning Scotch drinker. And for any first-time visitor to Edinburgh. You will be made part of the distilling process and become familiar with how Scotch is created. You will then enter the vault containing the world's largest collection of Scotch whisky. From there, you can sample a tiny dram of a variety of different Scotch whisky.
Where should you stay in Edinburgh?
The Balmoral Hotel is one of the dominating landmarks in Edinburgh. The clock towers over Prince's Street and is permanently set three minutes fast. That's to help passengers make their trains at Waverley Station. The Balmoral features luxurious rooms and is a grand hotel that has stayed relevant. One more thing: J.K. Rowling wrote the final chapters of Harry Potter while staying at the Balmoral in Scotland.
Where should you eat in Edinburgh?
Edinburgh is home to four Michelin Starred restaurants and is a city renowned for its fine food scene. Here are a few suggestions:
Number One
This Michelin-starred restaurant is located in the famous Balmoral hotel. Number One features a seven-course daily menu and will give you the experience of modern Scottish cuisine.
The Dome
This is a former bank building, located on George Street, one of the city's busiest. You can enjoy lunch, afternoon tea, or dinner at The Dome.
The Kitchin
This Michelin-starred restaurant will give you the feel of Scotland along with some modern twists. Those include a glass wall that allows diners to watch their food being prepared. You might even see the founder, Tom Kitchin, working on your meal. The Kitchin is located on Edinburgh's waterfront.
Frequently Asked Questions
What transfers can I arrange from Edinburgh Airport into the city or nearby destinations?
From the private terminal, a chauffeured car can take you into central Edinburgh in about 20 minutes. We also arrange transfers to nearby golf courses such as St Andrews, which is roughly 80 minutes by road, or Gleneagles, about an hour away. Helicopter transfers are available and cut travel times significantly—for example, Edinburgh to St Andrews in around 25 minutes.
Are there alternate airports to Edinburgh for private jets?
Edinburgh Airport is the main gateway and usually the most convenient choice, located only 20 minutes from the city centre and equipped with a dedicated private terminal. Alternatives include Glasgow (about an hour by road) and Dundee (around 90 minutes), which can be useful if Edinburgh slots are tight during major events like the Festival Fringe in August or the Six Nations rugby matches.
What size and type of private jets can operate at Edinburgh Airport?
Edinburgh has a main runway of 2,556 metres, long enough to accommodate all categories of private jets. From small light aircraft to large long-range jets and VIP airliners, the airport infrastructure can handle them comfortably.
What are the entry requirements when flying private to Edinburgh?
Private jet passengers to Edinburgh must follow the UK’s entry rules. A valid passport is required, and nationals who need a visa must obtain it before travel. In addition, the UK’s new Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) is now mandatory for visitors from visa-exempt countries. It applies to non-European travellers such as US, Canadian, and Australian citizens, and since April 2025 it also applies to most European nationals, except Irish citizens. Your LunaJets advisor will confirm the requirements for your nationality and assist with the process.
Are there curfews or restricted operating hours at Edinburgh Airport for private jets?
No curfew: Edinburgh Airport is open 24 hours and accepts private jet operations at all hours. That said, there are night-time noise control rules. Between 23:00 and 06:00, only quieter, noise-certified aircraft may operate—and only with Prior Permission Required (PPR). Your LunaJets advisor will confirm aircraft eligibility and secure approvals for any flight in that period. Outside of those hours, operations proceed normally with standard slot coordination.
