Hire a Private Jet to Friedrichshafen

Yes, you can bring pets on a private jet to Friedrichshafen. Dogs, cats and ferrets are permitted entry provided they meet EU rules: your animal must be microchipped, vaccinated against rabies, and travel with either an EU Pet Passport or an official veterinary health certificate. If you are arriving from outside the EU, your pet must be declared on arrival and may be checked by border authorities at the private terminal. Certain high-risk or restricted breeds are not accepted. Because requirements can change, your LunaJets advisor will confirm the latest regulations and ensure all documents are in order before your flight.

Entry rules for Friedrichshafen are the same as for any international arrival into Germany and the wider Schengen area. EU, EEA and Swiss citizens may enter freely without a visa. Travellers from countries such as the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, Japan or Singapore can usually visit visa-free for up to 90 days within a 180-day period. Nationals of countries outside these groups must obtain a Schengen visa in advance. From 2026, visitors who currently enjoy visa-free entry will also need an ETIAS travel authorisation before travelling.

Friedrichshafen can be busy around events like trade fairs and exhibition weeks. It’s wise to book a few weeks ahead to ensure aircraft and slots. That said, LunaJets can often arrange flights even on shorter notice, even during peak event periods.

Friedrichshafen is very well located near the borders of Switzerland and Austria, giving you access to the Alps and lakes region. It’s only about 3-4 km from Friedrichshafen town centre, making ground transfers very short. In winter, it's a great entry point for ski resorts in Austria/Switzerland. The runway and handling support most private jets, making it flexible for both business and leisure travellers.

Yes. Friedrichshafen operates on specific hours for general aviation: 06:00-22:00 Monday to Friday; on weekends and holidays, flights begin at 09:00 and can continue until sunset + 30 minutes, but usually not past 20:00 local time. If you need to arrive or depart outside those hours, special permission is required. LunaJets will organize any required authorisations.
