Private Jet Charter from Dublin
Dublin is one of Europe's most strategically valuable jet markets thanks to two facts: it hosts the European HQs of the largest US tech companies (Google, Meta, LinkedIn, Stripe, Salesforce), and it operates full US Customs and Border Preclearance for business aviation — meaning passengers clear US immigration in Dublin and arrive in the US as a domestic flight. Dublin (DUB) handles intercontinental and heavy traffic; Weston (EIWT), 30 minutes west, is the slot-free GA-dedicated alternate for light and mid-size operations.

FAQs — Chartering from Dublin
How does US Preclearance work for a private jet?
Passengers clear US CBP at Dublin before boarding; on arrival in the US the flight is treated as domestic — no immigration queue, faster ground time and easier onward GA connections.
Weston or Dublin — which should I use?
Weston for any light/mid trip within Europe — slot-free and faster turnarounds. Dublin for heavy jets, US trips (Preclearance), and any flight needing scheduled-interline.
Does Cork have Preclearance too?
Cork has Irish customs but not US CBP Preclearance for GA at present — Dublin remains the only Irish field offering the service for private aviation.
