FAB EDI

Private jet charter from Farnborough to Edinburgh

The route from Farnborough (FAB) to Edinburgh (EDI) covers approximately 547 km, with a median block time of 1h 09m on flights we actually tracked.

109 private flights from Farnborough to Edinburgh were tracked over the last 12 months — around 9 a month, a steady but not saturated sector.

Median block time on tracked flights is 1h 09m, about 30 minutes longer than a straight distance-and-cruise-speed estimate — taxi, routing and traffic flow account for the difference.

The Cessna Citation Excel dominates the route, accounting for 40% of tracked movements, followed by the Eclipse 550 and the Embraer Legacy 600 — a useful sanity check when a broker offers you something much larger or much older.

Traffic is strongly seasonal — June carried 14 flights against 6 in August, a 2.3× swing. Expect tighter availability and firmer quotes at the peak.

The return leg from Edinburgh takes about the same time — 1h 06m against 1h 09m — so a same-day there-and-back is planned symmetrically.

The smallest cabin that covers 547 km without a fuel stop is the very light jet at $1,500-4,500 an hour, and the type most often quoted here is the Bombardier Challenger 350. How the hourly rate turns into a total is set out in the private jet cost guide, and if the dates are loose it is worth checking empty leg flights on this direction first.

Money-Saving Tips
You are billed for 1h 09m of block time on this sector, not for the 547 km — an aircraft based at either end saves more than a cheaper hourly rate
Ask for the Cessna Citation Excel/XLS+ first: it is the type most often flown here, so it is the least likely to be positioned in empty
Take an empty leg if the date is flexible — repositioning flights on this direction run well below the normal rate
Compare multiple aircraft options rather than the cheapest hourly rate alone
Book 24-48 hours ahead: same-day requests pay for whatever is available, not for what fits
