Private jet rates: How much does it cost to charter a private jet?

Business jet rental rates: what determines the price?

The passengers
  • Number of passengers
  • Number of luggage
Onboard services
  • Comfort
  • Catering service
  • Special requests (WiFi, berths, etc.)
Agenda
  • Departure and return dates: would you like to fly away for a weekend? During the week? During the vacations?
  • Length of stay: do you want to fly there and back in a day, or stay for a few days?
  • Timetable: private jet flights take place outside the normal timetable used by commercial airliners.

The cost of a private jet rental will be lower if you choose to make a round trip during the day. Why is this? Airline operators immobilize the aircraft at the destination if the duration of the appointment is short. For a longer stay, the aircraft returns to its base empty, which affects the final price.

The crew
  • Number of pilots and hostesses on board
  • Travel costs: depending on the destination and length of stay, you’ll be responsible for all crew-related costs (hotel nights, empty return flights, etc.)
Logistics
  • Number of pilots and hostesses on board
  • Travel costs: depending on the destination and length of stay, you’ll be responsible for all crew-related expenses (hotel nights, empty return flights, etc.).

Chartering aircraft necessarily entails airport and maintenance costs.

The destination
  • The distance between the departure airport and the destination: flight time. There is a significant difference between a transatlantic flight and a regional flight, for example.
  • Taxes linked to the destination, such as Italian taxes, VAT, etc.

Depending on the above factors, the rental price will vary. Our experts will define the type of private aircraft best suited to the customer’s requirements. Indeed, business jets have their own characteristics, more or less suited to the desired requirements. The choice of jet also determines the price of a rental.

The type of private jet

The price of a private jet rental also depends on the elements listed here:

  • Size: adapted to the number of passengers (passengers and crew);
  • Cargo capacity: volume of baggage to be carried;
  • Range: depending on the destination, we’ll choose from a range of private jet models. The category and cruising speed of the private jet you rent influence the cost. A very light jet is better suited to short trips within a range of 2,000 km than a heavy jet, more suited to long-haul flights;
  • Comfort: the level of comfort and services required according to your needs (catering, cabin layout, etc.) guides us to the type of jet in our available fleet.
  • Aircraftage.
The night hangar

There are other technical factors that affect the price of a flight, such as obtaining a night hangar. Some airports, such as Figari, Saint Tropez, Ibiza or Mykonos, are very busy in summer, yet are small in size. These airports have very strict operating procedures, which we take into account as an air broker to prevent any misunderstandings on pricing for our customers. For example, if the jet cannot be parked overnight due to lack of space, the captain will take the aircraft to a nearby, less congested airport. This generates additional flight costs, which add to the rental price.

Need a price estimate?

What does the price of a private jet trip include?

What does the price of a business trip actually consist of? Schematically speaking, an air ticket for a private flight can be divided into several parts:

  • The cost of renting the aircraft
  • The cost of the cabin crew (crew members and pilots)
  • Airport charges and services
  • On-board services (meals, bed linen, etc.)

These elements make up the total price of your ticket. The cost of aircraft rental naturally accounts for a significant proportion of the fare, as mentioned above.

When we charter a private jet, it’s not entirely appropriate to talk in terms of “ticket price”. By definition, flying in a private jet implies total privatization of the aircraft, and therefore of all passenger seats. Thus, the cost of renting a jet is linked to its size: the more seats it has, the higher its rental price. Several types of aircraft are available. That’s why booking a flight aboard a 4-seat Citation Mustang is one of the most economical options on the market. Conversely, renting an aircraft with a larger, more luxurious cabin will be more expensive.

Let’s take a Paris-Nice charter flight as a reference to compare prices:

Type of flightSeatsPrice from
Light private jet3 – 75 050 €
Intermediate private jet6 – 1410 500 €
Long-haul private jet6 – 2013 750 €

How much does a private jet cost?

As we’ve seen, the price of a private jet rental depends on the type of aircraft and the route you fly. However, if your needs and capabilities allow you to purchase a private jet, we’ll give you a few examples of how much a private jet costs to buy.

Just like the price of renting a private jet, the purchase price of an aircraft depends on its capacity, range and category. Here are a few examples of new private jet prices, depending on the category and characteristics of the aircraft.

  • For a small Phenom 100 private jet, you can expect to pay 8 million euros for a new aircraft. It has a range of 3,600 km, and can carry 6 passengers.
  • For the price of a Citation Mustang private jet, you’ll need to factor in around 2.9 million euros for this light private jet. This small business jet has a range of 2,160 km. It offers excellent value for money, and is very popular for short-haul flights.
  • For an intermediate business jet like the Cessna Citation Longitude, the purchase price of this private jet is 25 million euros. It has a flight range of 6,300 km, and can accommodate up to 12 passengers in its comfortable cabin.
  • As an example of a long-haul private jet like the Falcon 6X, this latest-generation business jet costs over 40 million euros. this Dassault Aviation aircraft can seat 16 passengers over distances of up to 10,000 km.

Here are some examples of private jet purchase prices. However, please visit our dedicated page: buy or lease a private jet, to find out more!
