Do you need a PCR test to fly by Private Jet?

Many countries currently require proof of a negative Covid-19 Test to be able to travel there, each with their own requirements on the type of test and how soon prior to departure this should have been carried out. 

Even if flying by private jet instead of an airline, this test is likely to still be a requirement to be able to travel. However, there are a number of benefits of travelling by private jet when it comes to Covid-19 testing and international travel. 

Fully managed service

It gets extremely confusing when your test must be taken no more than a set number of hours prior to departure (usually 72), but you must also work around it being not too close to departure that you risk not having the results in time. This must then be combined with finding an accredited lab that offer the correct type of test required by your destination and their appointment availability.

Remove the hassle, when travelling with us we will organise all necessary tests in the correct time frame on your behalf, and this is completely included in the cost of the charter. 

Less risk of exposure during travel 

There is of course a risk that you can be exposed to the virus after carrying out your test, and there have been instances where travellers have had to isolate at their destination because another passenger on their flight tested positive a few days later. Flying by private jet mitigates this risk entirely, as you are not exposed to any other groups of passengers either in the terminal or for the duration of your flight. 

We have accredited partners in both Manchester and London to organise Covid-19 tests with next day results, and will also organise you to have any required testing whilst abroad. However and wherever you’re looking to fly, private jet flights offer additional Covid-19 safety measures on top of airlines, and there is significantly less hassle and uncertainty when it comes to PCR or lateral flow tests for your destination.
