Luton is the fallback for a Zanzibar-length departure when the fleet base is there and payload permits. Signature and Harrods Aviation both handle overnight departures with crew rest and long-haul catering pre-loaded.
For Zanzibar, compare the whole arrival day as well as the long-haul cabin. Include your accommodation transfer, passenger load and rest requirements when asking for a departure from London.
The realistic aircraft choices for this leg, priced from our London desk. Fuel, crew and handling included; positioning and landing fees quoted per tail.

Rather write to us first? The London desk answers charter enquiries within 30 minutes during working hours, 7 days a week.
Start with the journey you need, rather than a particular aircraft. These details help the desk compare suitable offers for your departure from London.
Provide the final accommodation address and any connection before comparing offers. For an itinerary with a fuel stop, ask for the expected ground arrangements and complete travel time as well as the aircraft price.
Give your preferred arrival time and onward address, along with where you will be leaving from in London. Include any flexibility in the schedule.
List the passengers, large cases and any equipment or pets. Ask to see the seating plan and baggage allowance for the aircraft in the quote.
If you are returning to London or flying beyond Zanzibar, include those dates too. Compare the complete itinerary before choosing a cabin.
Compare the drive to your London departure airport with the onward transfer at Zanzibar. Confirm your preferred airports with the operator before booking.

Farnborough is the natural London gateway for East Africa on a fully-fuelled ULR. The 2,440m runway takes a Global 7500 or G650ER at MTOW, and TAG's terminal handles the overnight departure logistics quickly.
Abeid Amani Karume International on Unguja has a 3,000m runway and business-aviation handling through the VIP terminal. Customs and immigration are done at the GA area; transfer to Stone Town is 25 minutes, north-coast resorts (Nungwi, Kendwa) 90 minutes.
Compare the aircraft below against your plans for Zanzibar, not just their size. Ask for the seating layout, baggage allowance and flight plan for each offer; the class label alone does not confirm those details.
Planning estimates in GBP for the whole aircraft, one way from London. Your operator quote confirms availability, the flight plan and all inclusions before you book.
