Book your private jet flight to Edinburgh
Edinburgh is the capital of Scotland — a city of 550,000 perched between its medieval volcanic castle and the port of Leith, combining neo-classical architectural beauty (the “Athens of the North”), the cultural heritage of the Scottish Enlightenment (Adam Smith, David Hume, Walter Scott) and the world’s largest arts festival. Edinburgh Airport (EDI) has a general aviation terminal with FBO, 25 minutes from the city centre. By jet, Edinburgh is 1h25 from Paris.
flight_takeoffBook a flightThe private jet clientele at Edinburgh is drawn by Scotland’s two great passions: golf and whisky. St Andrews (the home of golf worldwide, 1h by road) hosts the Open Championship every five years, and Scotland’s links courses (Royal Troon, Carnoustie, Muirfield) are the obligatory pilgrimages of wealthy golfers from around the world. The distilleries of the Highlands (Speyside, Isle of Islay) offer private tasting experiences for single malt whisky enthusiasts. Edinburgh Castle, the Royal Mile and Holyrood Palace round out a city of outstanding historic prestige.
The Edinburgh Festival (August — International Festival, Fringe, Military Tattoo) is the world’s largest arts gathering — 3,000 shows, two million tickets sold. Theatre and opera directors from around the world make their annual pilgrimage. Contemporary Scottish gastronomy (Restaurant Martin Wishart — 1 star on Leith waterfront, Number One — 1 star at the Balmoral) reveals a surprisingly high-calibre culinary scene.

All your questions about private jets to Edinburgh
Between £5,500 and £11,000 one way, flight time 1h25. Edinburgh is a prestigious cultural and sporting break destination — many clients make a round trip in a week for the Festival (August) or a golf weekend. In August (Festival), EDI slots are in very high demand — book 6 to 8 weeks in advance.
St Andrews (Fife, Scotland) is 1 hour by road from EDI — the Old Course at St Andrews is the most legendary golf course in the world (18 holes, seaside, iconic bunkers). Leuchars airfield (RAF, occasionally open to civilian traffic) is closer (15 min). Tee times on the Old Course must be booked by ballot or through partner hotels of the R&A (Royal and Ancient).
Inverness Airport (INV) is 30 minutes' flying time from EDI — at the heart of Speyside (Glenfiddich, The Macallan, Aberlour, Glenlivet) and 1 hour from the Islay distilleries (Laphroaig, Ardbeg, Lagavulin) via Glasgow or Islay airfield (ILY, 30 min from Glasgow). An Edinburgh + Speyside + Islay circuit over three days is the ultimate whisky experience.
The Edinburgh Festival (August — International Festival, Fringe, Military Tattoo, Book Festival) is the world's largest arts festival. For international festival directors, theatre producers and cultural experience collectors, it is unmissable. Allow at least a week — the best productions run Tuesday to Sunday and evenings are packed.
Hogmanay (31 December in Edinburgh) is Europe's largest New Year celebration — torchlight procession, concerts in Princes Street Gardens, Loony Dook (sea dip on 1 January at South Queensferry). Private parties in surrounding clubs and country houses are extremely popular. EDI is in very high demand on 30–31 December — book your slots 8 to 12 weeks ahead.
Edinburgh (EDI) is more tourist-friendly, more elegant, with the Castle and the Festival. Glasgow (GLA/PIK) is more working class, more musical, with a strong contemporary art scene (GoMA, OVO Hydro for concerts) and the eastern Highlands more accessible. For a first trip to Scotland, Edinburgh is the obvious choice. For live music and the eastern Highlands, Glasgow.
