How far in advance should I book a private jet to Reykjavik?

For the widest choice of aircraft, departure times and airport availability, we recommend booking your private jet to Reykjavik one to three weeks in advance. Early booking is particularly advisable during summer, Christmas and New Year, Northern Lights season and other peak periods, when demand for private aviation, accommodation and ground transportation can increase. Advance planning is especially useful when your itinerary includes remote destinations, private lodges or helicopter transfers, where availability can be more limited. A last-minute or same-day private jet to Reykjavik can also be arranged, subject to aircraft, crew, airport operating conditions, weather and availability. Through its global operator network, PVJets can compare available aircraft and recommend the most suitable solution for your itinerary.

Which airport is best for private jets to Reykjavik?

Keflavík International Airport (KEF/BIKF) is the principal international airport for travellers flying privately to Reykjavik and Iceland. Located approximately 38 km from central Reykjavik, Keflavík handles international aviation and provides facilities for business and general aviation. Reykjavik Airport (RKV/BIRK) is located much closer to the city centre, but primarily serves domestic and regional aviation and has different operational characteristics. It may be suitable for certain private aircraft and domestic itineraries depending on aircraft type, availability and operating requirements. PVJets evaluates the aircraft, route and final destination before recommending the most suitable airport for your private jet charter to Reykjavik.

How do I get from Keflavík Airport to Reykjavik?

PVJets can arrange a private chauffeur transfer directly from the airport or private aviation facility to your hotel, private residence or other destination. The drive from Keflavík International Airport to central Reykjavik generally takes approximately 45–60 minutes, depending on traffic and weather conditions. Typical destinations include: Reykjavik city centre: approximately 45–60 minutes Reykjavik harbour: approximately 45–60 minutes Blue Lagoon: approximately 20–30 minutes Reykjavik's surrounding luxury hotels: approximately 45–60 minutes Actual journey times can vary considerably depending on weather, road conditions and seasonal conditions. For travellers continuing to more remote areas of Iceland, PVJets can arrange private ground transportation or helicopter transfers, subject to availability and weather.

Can I fly to Reykjavik by private jet with pets?

Yes. Dogs, cats and other eligible pets can potentially travel on a private jet to Iceland, subject to aircraft-operator approval and compliance with Icelandic import regulations. Iceland has specific requirements for the import of pets, which can include: An approved microchip A valid rabies vaccination Veterinary health documentation An import permit Required parasite treatments Veterinary inspection and other applicable procedures Requirements can be significantly more extensive than for travel between many other European countries, particularly for animals arriving from outside the European Economic Area. PVJets can help coordinate the aircraft, airport handling and documentation requirements before departure. Pet owners should allow sufficient time to complete Iceland's applicable import procedures.

Do Reykjavik private jet airports have operating-hour restrictions?

Yes. Operating conditions vary between Keflavík International Airport and Reykjavik Airport. Keflavík International Airport operates continuously for international aviation, although individual private aircraft movements remain subject to airport procedures, air traffic, aircraft requirements and weather conditions. Reykjavik Airport has different operating characteristics and restrictions because of its location close to the city and its role primarily as a domestic airport. Iceland's weather can also have a significant effect on private aviation. Strong winds, snow, low visibility, volcanic activity and rapidly changing weather conditions can affect flight schedules and airport operations. PVJets will monitor the applicable airport and weather conditions and confirm the appropriate operating plan for your private jet to Reykjavik.

What is the customs and immigration process when arriving in Reykjavik by private jet?

Iceland is part of the Schengen Area, so the immigration process depends on whether your private jet arrives from another Schengen country or from outside the Schengen Area. For flights arriving from another Schengen country, passengers generally do not undergo routine passport control, although customs checks may still apply. For flights arriving from outside the Schengen Area, passengers must complete Icelandic immigration and customs formalities at the appropriate airport facilities. Passengers may be required to present passports and other travel documentation, while baggage and goods can be inspected according to Icelandic regulations. Private aviation can provide a more discreet and streamlined arrival experience than a conventional commercial terminal, although processing times cannot be guaranteed.

Why do private jets use Keflavík Airport when travelling to Reykjavik?

Keflavík International Airport is Iceland's main international gateway and is the principal choice for international private jet travel to Reykjavik. Its location approximately 38 km from the capital provides access to Reykjavik while supporting international flights from destinations across Europe and North America. Keflavík is particularly relevant for longer-range private jet operations and international itineraries, while Reykjavik Airport can be considered for certain domestic or regional flights. PVJets evaluates your aircraft, route and final destination before selecting the most suitable airport and arranging the onward transfer.

Can I combine a private jet to Reykjavik with onward travel around Iceland?

Yes. Reykjavik is an excellent starting point for a bespoke private itinerary throughout Iceland. PVJets can arrange private chauffeur transfers, helicopter flights and other onward transportation to destinations such as the Blue Lagoon, South Coast, Golden Circle, Jökulsárlón, Vík and remote countryside lodges, depending on your itinerary and weather conditions. During winter, Iceland can be combined with a luxury Northern Lights itinerary, private geothermal experiences and remote countryside stays. During summer, travellers can explore Iceland's waterfalls, glaciers, volcanic landscapes and coastal regions while using Reykjavik as the starting point for a wider private itinerary. PVJets can coordinate the private aircraft, accommodation, helicopter services, private vehicles and other travel arrangements as part of a single itinerary.
