Frequently Asked Questions

Private Jet from Colonsay FAQ

Everything you need to know about chartering a private jet from Colonsay

How much does a private jet to Colonsay cost?

Private jet charter to Colonsay typically starts from approximately £8,000-12,000 for turboprop aircraft from Scottish mainland airports like Glasgow or Edinburgh. Light jets suitable for the grass runway may cost £15,000-20,000 from London area airports. Pricing varies significantly based on aircraft availability, seasonal demand, and departure location, with summer months commanding premium rates due to peak tourist season.

Which airport is best for private jets to Colonsay?

Colonsay Airport (COL) is the only airport serving the island, featuring a grass runway suitable for turboprops and light aircraft. The airport provides direct access to this exclusive Hebridean destination without ferry connections. Aircraft selection is crucial as the grass surface and runway length limit operations to smaller private aircraft, requiring experienced operators familiar with Scottish island aviation.

How long does it take to reach accommodations from Colonsay airport?

Transfer times from Colonsay Airport to island accommodations range from 5-15 minutes due to the island's compact 40 square mile area. The airport's central location provides immediate access to all island attractions, villages, and lodging options. Local taxi services and rental vehicles are available, though many visitors prefer walking to fully appreciate the island's peaceful atmosphere and stunning landscapes.

Can private jets operate at Colonsay airport in all weather?

Colonsay Airport operations depend heavily on weather conditions due to its grass runway and island location exposed to Atlantic weather systems. Visual flight rules typically apply, with operations suspended during poor visibility or strong crosswinds. Experienced charter operators familiar with Scottish island aviation provide the best reliability, often maintaining backup plans for weather-related delays or diversions to mainland airports.

What makes Colonsay special for private jet travelers?

Colonsay offers private jet travelers access to one of Scotland's most exclusive and unspoiled Hebridean islands, famous for its pristine beaches, ancient monuments, and world-renowned gardens. The island's limited accommodation and transport links maintain its exclusive character, making private aviation the most convenient access method.
