Private Jet Charter for Racing and Bloodstock

We already arrange flights on the sales and racing circuit. We understand how the schedule works, and we would like to work with you on your trip requirements.

Built around the calendar

Sale dates and fixtures are published well ahead, from the December sales at Newmarket to the Oaks and the Derby at Epsom in early June, so most of your flying can be planned before the catalogue lands. We can look at the season with you, then adjust each trip as your plans firm up.

We arrange flights for people. We do not move horses.

Your trip requirements

  • Which sales and meetings you expect to attend, and how firm each one is
  • Who is travelling, and whether the party changes during the trip
  • When you need to be in the ring, on the gallops or back home
  • Which airfields you prefer, and how far you will drive from them
  • What could change at short notice, so the plan allows for it
  • Catering, dietary needs and the cars or helicopters you need at each end

Around the flight

Transfers and ground transport

Cars, drivers and helicopter connections planned around the sale ring, the gallops or the first race, and coordinated at every stop so the aircraft, the car and your timings line up. When plans move, we move the ground arrangements with them.

Catering for your party

Onboard catering chosen for your party and the time of day, from an early breakfast before a sale to a full meal on a longer leg, with dietary needs and preferences taken care of. What is included varies by operator and region, and we confirm it with the quote.

Contingency planning

Before you fly we agree what happens if something changes: an alternative airfield, a different routing or a new departure time. We follow airspace notices and official conflict-zone advice, including closures over parts of the Middle East. If a route or airport closes, we work with the operator on the next best option and keep you informed at each step.

Questions

Do you move horses?

No. We arrange flights for people: agents, owners, trainers, stud teams and their guests. Horse transport is a specialist business of its own.

What size of aircraft do these trips usually need?

Parties of two to six on short European legs usually suit a turboprop or light jet, which is also what shorter runways allow. Aircraft ranges and capacities are approximate and depend on the aircraft and the day.

Can you plan a season rather than one flight?

Yes. Send us the sales and meetings you expect to attend and we will work through the trip requirements for each. Plans can change with the catalogue, and we will tell you what any change affects.

What happens if airspace closes or a flight is disrupted?

Each trip has a fallback agreed before departure: another airfield, another routing or a new time. If airspace closes, including over parts of the Middle East, we work with the operator on the best alternative and keep you updated until you are on your way.

Who do you arrange flights for?

We keep our clients confidential, and we would do the same for you.
