Hire a Private Jet to Manchester

From Manchester’s private terminals, you step directly into waiting ground transport. Most LunaJets clients choose chauffeur-driven cars arranged in advance, ensuring a discreet transfer straight into the city. Standard taxis are available 24/7 at the airport, and the on-site rail station offers a direct 20-minute train to Manchester Piccadilly. The Metrolink tram network also connects the airport with central and suburban areas. Your LunaJets advisor can organise the most convenient option, from luxury transfers to quick rail links, depending on your schedule.

Absolutely — when flying privately to Manchester, your pet can accompany you in-cabin, provided they meet UK Pet Travel Scheme requirements. First, your pet must be microchipped and vaccinated against rabies after microchipping, as documented in a valid pet passport or official health certificate. If your pet is a dog, they generally require tapeworm treatment administered between 24 hours and five days before arrival in Great Britain, and recorded on their documentation. The LunaJets team will confirm the necessary treatments and paperwork for your specific journey and assist you throughout the application process.

All private jet passengers must comply with UK entry rules, and since 2025 most travellers need a UK Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) before departure, even if they do not require a visa for short stays. EU, EEA and Swiss citizens, apart from Irish nationals, now need an ETA for visits up to six months. Visa-exempt nationals such as those from the United States, Canada, Australia or Japan also require one, while only British and Irish passport holders and travellers with an existing UK visa or residence status are exempt. The ETA is applied for online, costs £16, and remains valid for two years or until the passport expires, with every passenger including children needing their own. The LunaJets team can verify your specific entry requirements and assist you with the ETA application to ensure everything is in place before your flight.

Manchester is a major hub for business and leisure, and availability can tighten quickly around key events such as Premier League matches, concerts, or major trade shows. For the widest choice of aircraft and departure times, it is best to book at least one to two weeks in advance, and even earlier if you plan to travel during busy weekends or football fixtures. That said, last-minute flights are still possible, and at LunaJets we regularly secure aircraft with just a few hours’ notice.

Manchester Airport is open 24 hours a day and does not impose a hard curfew, but it does enforce a Night Noise Policy. From 23:00 to 07:00, noisier aircraft are restricted by quota limits, and only one runway is normally in use. In addition, planning rules define the “night period” for dual-runway operations as 22:00 to 06:00, meaning that outside these hours the airport scales back to a single runway unless required for safety. In practice, you can arrive or depart at any time, but late-night and early-morning movements may face restrictions depending on the aircraft type. The LunaJets team can confirm slot and handling availability for your chosen schedule and arrange any required approvals.
