The Lagos–London corridor is West Africa's premier private route — one nonstop leg on Gulfstream and Global class aircraft, wheels up from the private terminal at Murtala Muhammed on your schedule, not an airline's. We arrange the aircraft, fast-track on both ends, and the London side — cars, hotels and the night's tables — as one booking.
How the quote works
Send your date, passenger count and any flexibility on WhatsApp. We come back with aircraft options and a fixed all-in price — aircraft, crew, positioning and fees included. Nothing is committed until you approve, and payment works by card, UK transfer or crypto.
Door to door
Fast-track on both ends, chauffeured ground, and the trip paired with villas, tables and the season's events at the destination — one concierge holds the whole itinerary. See private jet charter, the Lagos flying guide and our Nigeria page.
Lagos to London in detail: range, airports and paperwork
Murtala Muhammed to Farnborough is 2,691 nautical miles on the great circle. At the block speeds these aircraft achieve on this leg, that is about 6h 45m, and the northbound flight usually meets headwinds over Europe.
The aircraft that fly it nonstop
The leg needs range to spare once reserves and winds are counted, which puts it in the heavy and ultra-long-range classes. A Gulfstream G450 at 4,350 nm or an Embraer Legacy 650E at 3,900 nm carries a full cabin comfortably. Both offer beds for an overnight departure.
A super-midsize such as the Challenger 350, with 3,200 nm of range, can make it with a light load in kind conditions. With a full cabin, heavy bags or a strong winter jet stream, the operator plans a technical stop for fuel. We tell you which applies before you book, not on the day.
Which London airport
Farnborough is the usual arrival: a business-only airport in Hampshire, close to the M3 for west and central London. It keeps set opening hours, so a flight that lands late at night is planned into Luton or Stansted, which operate around the clock. Luton also suits the north of London and Hertfordshire.
Paperwork that sits with you, and with the operator
- Nigerian passport holders need a UK visit visa before travel. A private flight does not change this.
- Household staff, nannies and security travelling with you each need their own visa.
- The operator files the UK arrival notification and the Nigerian departure clearances.
- Departure from Lagos clears immigration at the business aviation terminal.
When demand peaks
The leg is busiest at the start of the UK school terms in September and January, and in the weeks either side of Christmas. Families moving children and staff with a full load of luggage book early for those dates, because the heavy jets based in Lagos are few.
