Boeing 737-800 : private jet rental

The plane can travel at speeds of up to 946km/h.

Its high capacity and comfort offer fast travel for large groups. It also offers a personalized layout for each customer.

The price of a Boeing 737-800 is 124 million euros.

Thanks to its high capacity and range, the Boeing 737-800 is highly versatile. It is ideal for transporting large groups, such as sports teams, touring musicians or corporate delegations.

It is also used for VIP charter flights, corporate events and product launches. Its modular cabin allows space to be adapted to the specific needs of each flight, whether to create work, relaxation or meeting zones.

The standard version of the Boeing 737-800 is designed for commercial airlines and can accommodate up to 189 passengers in a basic seating configuration.

By contrast, the VIP version, often leased for private flights, has been completely redesigned. The interior configuration is customized for a much smaller number of passengers, generally between 15 and 60.

The space is used to integrate private suites, conference rooms, lounges, bars and high-end catering areas.

The emphasis is on luxury, privacy and comfort, with high-quality finishes and state-of-the-art technology.

No, the Boeing 737-800, because of its size and performance, needs long runways to take off and land safely. With a take-off distance of around 2,400 meters and a landing distance of around 1,850 meters, it is limited to large international and regional airports.

It cannot use smaller airfields or short runways often accessible to more compact private jets. This is an important factor to consider when planning a flight itinerary.

Leasing a Boeing 737-800 makes sense when the number of passengers exceeds the capacity of traditional private jets (which seat an average of 8 to 16 people) or smaller business jets.

Beyond 20 to 30 passengers, the 737-800 becomes a highly efficient option. It allows passengers to travel together, personalizing the on-board experience and benefiting from top-of-the-range comfort and services not possible on conventional commercial flights.

Customization is one of the main advantages of private hire. A leased Boeing 737-800 can be customized to meet very specific needs.

Beyond a simple seating configuration, it is possible to integrate: private offices, meeting rooms equipped with videoconferencing technology, rest areas with “suite” type cabins for long-haul flights, or even a lounge area with sofas and coffee tables for a more relaxed setting.

For incentive or prestige travel, some operators offer top-of-the-range layouts including bespoke decoration, noble materials and premium entertainment equipment.

Unlike commercial flights, the boarding experience for a private flight on a Boeing 737-800 is designed to be fast, discreet and stress-free. You’ll have access to private aviation terminals (FBOs) separate from the main airports.

These FBOs offer comfortable lounges, expedited check-in and dedicated security screening. Boarding takes place directly from the FBO to the aircraft, often via a mobile airport walkway or stairs, avoiding the crowds. Your baggage is taken care of by the crew and loaded separately. Disembarkation follows the same principle of fluidity and confidentiality.

Onboard service is fully customizable to suit the occasion, whether it’s a business trip, an event or a group vacation. You can opt for a gourmet catering service designed by a Michelin-starred chef, a more informal buffet or a snack and beverage service throughout the flight.

The wine and spirits list can also be selected in advance. A cabin manager and his team are dedicated to your group to ensure attentive and discreet service, guaranteeing that every passenger enjoys an exceptional experience.

Operating a Boeing 737-800 requires a dedicated, professional team. As a minimum, the technical crew consists of two highly qualified pilots. For cabin service, the number of flight attendants is determined by the size of your group, to guarantee impeccable service.

For a full flight of 189 passengers, the cabin crew can include several members, similar to a commercial flight, but with a much higher level of personalized service. All crew members are selected for their expertise and discretion.

Your private jet operator takes care of all the administrative formalities, saving you a considerable amount of time. This includes management of flight plans, overflight authorizations for the countries crossed, and landing slots. Customs and immigration formalities are also greatly simplified.

Depending on the airport, officers may board directly after landing to carry out checks, or your group may be escorted to a dedicated area for expedited processing. Seeing your documents in advance allows the operator to prepare these steps for a smooth experience.

Private hire offers great flexibility for transporting special items. Pets are generally accepted, but it is imperative to indicate this at the time of booking to ensure that all conditions are met.

Transporting bulky equipment such as sports equipment (skis, bicycles) or musical instruments (such as a double bass) is perfectly feasible thanks to the aircraft’s spacious holds. Here again, prior communication is essential, so that we can plan the load in complete safety.

Cancellation conditions vary according to the operator and the type of contract (on-demand flight or block-hour contract). It’s important to examine them carefully before booking. When it comes to unforeseen circumstances, private hire offers exceptional flexibility.
