A private jet charter to Santander, Spain, offers direct access to the Cantabrian coast. Within minutes of arrival, travellers can enjoy the Bay of Santander, from the beaches of El Sardinero and La Magdalena to the marina that welcomes yachts crossing the Bay of Biscay. Each summer, the city also hosts the Santander International Festival and world-class sailing regattas.
LunaJets arranges private flights to Santander Airport (SDR), where dedicated facilities for private aviation ensure discretion and efficiency, or to Bilbao Airport (BIO) for larger aircraft.

Helicopter transfers reduce longer journeys, reaching the coastal resorts of Cantabria or the Picos de Europa in around 20 minutes compared with over an hour by road.

Frequently Asked Questions
What visa or entry requirements apply when flying private into Santander?
Entry rules for Santander are the same as for any international arrival into Spain 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.
What makes Santander Airport a good gateway for Cantabria and nearby coastal or resort destinations?
Santander is very well located for the beautiful northern Spanish coast, beaches, countryside, and cultural destinations in Cantabria. Its runway length supports most private jets, and it’s only about 5 km from Santander city centre, making ground transfers quick (≈ 10-15 minutes).
Can I bring my pet on a private jet to Santander?
Yes, you can bring pets on a private jet to Santander. 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.
Are there curfews or restricted operating hours at Santander Airport (SDR)?
No. Santander (SDR) is open 24 hours for private jet operations. However, some ground-services (fueling, hangar use, customs/immigration) may have reduced availability outside commercial service times. LunaJets will make sure all required services are confirmed in advance.
How far in advance should I book a private jet to Santander?
Booking several weeks ahead is advisable, particularly for summer holidays and local festivals when demand for flights to Santander rises. This helps secure both aircraft and airport slots. Still, LunaJets frequently manages last-minute flights to Santander, even when the city is busy.
