Book your private jet flight to Shanghai
Shanghai, a cosmopolitan metropolis of 25 million people at the mouth of the Yangtze, is China’s economic and cultural capital. The Bund (the Art Deco colonial façades along the Huangpu), Pudong and its ultra-modern skyline (Shanghai Tower, Oriental Pearl Tower), the Jing’an district and the longtangs (typical alleyways) of Xintiandi make up a city uniquely positioned at the intersection of Chinese tradition and hyper-modernity. By private jet to Shanghai from London (around 11 hours 30 minutes), you land at Pudong (PVG) or Hongqiao (SHA), both with dedicated business aviation FBOs.
flight_takeoffBook a flightVistaJet is the reference operator on the London–Shanghai route. The distance (approximately 9,200 km) is achievable on a Gulfstream G550 with favourable winds, and comfortably covered by the Global 7500 and G700. Shanghai is China’s financial and commercial hub — the Shanghai Stock Exchange, multinational headquarters (LVMH, L’Oréal, Cartier all have their China HQs in Shanghai) and the world’s busiest port. Thousands of European companies have operations there.
Shanghai captivates through its cultural scene: the galleries of M50 Creative Park, the Shanghai Museum (impressive Chinese collections), the Shanghai Grand Theatre (designed by Jean-Marie Charpentier) and the Design Shanghai and Art021 festivals. Shanghainese cuisine — xiaolongbao (soup dumplings at Din Tai Fung), autumn hairy crabs, East Bund fusion dining — is among the most refined in China.

All your questions about private jets to Shanghai
London–Shanghai (11 hours 30 minutes) costs between £54,000 and £105,000 depending on the aircraft. A Gulfstream G550 can cover this 9,200 km route with favourable winds. VistaJet is particularly active on this route and offers multi-city China circuits (Beijing + Shanghai) for European corporate delegations.
Shanghai has a longer tradition of international openness (foreign concessions from 1842) and a higher number of expatriates and foreign companies than Beijing. The city is more cosmopolitan in its everyday environment. That said, since 2020 the regulatory landscape for foreign businesses has become more complex across China as a whole.
The Bund is a public promenade accessible 24 hours a day. For a more exclusive experience, a private sunset cruise on the Huangpu River (with views of the Bund on the Puxi side and Pudong opposite) can be arranged through local agencies. Upscale restaurants on the Bund (M on the Bund, The Waterhouse) also offer spectacular rooftop views.
Yes. Shanghai is the world's leading luxury market, with boutiques from every major house (LVMH, Kering, Richemont, Hermès) concentrated on Nanjing Road, in Jing'an and the new Pudong zone. Certain limited editions are available in Shanghai ahead of their European release. A personal shopper can be arranged from the moment you land.
Yes. Hangzhou (West Lake, tea gardens, Lingyin Temple) is 1 hour by high-speed train from Shanghai or 30 minutes by private aircraft. Suzhou (UNESCO classical gardens, Grand Canal) is 25 minutes by high-speed train. These cities are jewels of historic China and easily accessible during a stay in Shanghai.
September to November (autumn) and March to May (spring) are ideal — pleasant temperatures (15–25°C) and clear skies. July and August are hot and humid (35–40°C). Art021 (November) and Design Shanghai (March) attract an international audience. Chinese New Year (January–February) is spectacular but some establishments are closed.
