Jet privé Hong Kong - Seoul
Your flight Hong Kong - Seoul
The private jet flight from Hong Kong to Seoul connects two of Asia’s most dynamic metropolises — twin world capitals of finance, luxury, gastronomy and the K-wave. From HKG, you land at Incheon (ICN) or Gimpo (GMP) in 3h30 aboard a Citation XLS+ or Legacy 500. Seoul has established itself as an unmissable destination for ultra-HNWI travellers: the luxury boutiques of the Dosan Park district, the gallery scene of Samcheong-dong and the Michelin constellation (Gaon, Mosu, Jungsik) attract a growing international private traffic.
flight_takeoffBook a flightThe 2,620 km route is comfortably covered by midsize jets. The Citation XLS+ is the most cost-effective option; the Falcon 2000LXS offers a larger cabin and greater range margin. Jets arriving at Incheon (ICN) use the dedicated general aviation terminal, separate from the commercial complex. Gimpo (GMP), closer to central Seoul (20 minutes vs 55 minutes from ICN), handles domestic flights and certain international private flights.
Hong Kong and Seoul maintain close commercial ties: Chanel, Hermès and Louis Vuitton have regional offices in both cities; Seoul’s Samsung and Hyundai groups are connected to Hong Kong’s financial partners. This makes HKG–ICN one of the busiest private jet routes in the region, with peaks during Seoul Fashion Week (March and October).

All your questions about the flight Hong Kong – Seoul
Between £22,000 and £40,000. The Citation XLS+ at £22,000 is the most cost-effective. The Falcon 2000LXS at £33,000 is chosen by executives seeking a larger cabin and can justify the cost for in-flight productivity. For UHNWI families visiting Seoul's luxury hotel circuit, the top-of-the-range G450 offers maximum comfort.
Incheon (ICN) is the main international gateway with dedicated private jet facilities (Galaxy Air Services). It is 55 km from Gangnam — approximately 55 minutes by car. Gimpo (GMP) is 20–25 minutes from the city centre and handles more domestic traffic; some international private jets use it to avoid the distance from Incheon. Both are viable depending on your Seoul itinerary.
Yes — the K-ETA (Korean Electronic Travel Authorisation) is required for British and European nationals entering South Korea, even by private jet. It costs approximately £9 and is obtained online at k-eta.go.kr before travel. Processing is near-instant. Your handler will verify K-ETA status for all passengers.
Seoul has a rapidly growing UHNWI population and a booming luxury market. Chaebol families (Samsung, LG, Hyundai), K-entertainment executives and international investors regularly use private jets. The Gangnam and Hannam-dong districts concentrate the majority of luxury demand. FBO facilities at Incheon have improved considerably in recent years.
Gaon (3 Michelin stars, traditional Korean cuisine), Mosu (2 stars, contemporary), Jungsik (2 stars, modern Korean) and La Yeon (3 stars, dynastic Korean) represent the pinnacle. For the premium K-BBQ experience, Maple Tree House in Itaewon is the refined choice. Reservations at the best restaurants require 2 to 4 weeks in advance.
Yes — a HKG–ICN–HND–HKG triangle itinerary is perfectly achievable in a week. Each leg takes 3h30 to 4h. Total cost of approximately £70,000 to £115,000 for the three flights aboard a Citation XLS+ or Legacy 500. This 'North-East Asia Loop' is a popular circuit for fashion and art world travellers.
