How much does it cost to charter a private jet?

Private jet charter costs typically range from £3,000 to £15,000 per flight hour depending on aircraft size. A light jet from London to Paris costs around £8,000 to £12,000 one way.

What factors affect private jet charter pricing?

Charter prices depend on aircraft type, flight distance, fuel costs, landing fees, and crew expenses. Peak travel times and holidays cost more due to demand.

What are empty leg flights?

Empty legs are repositioning flights when aircraft fly without passengers. These can offer 30-50% discounts but require flexible travel dates.

Is chartering a private jet cheaper than first class?

For groups of 4 to 8 passengers, private jet charter can be comparable to first class tickets when split between all travellers.

What size private jet do I need?

Light jets suit 4 to 6 passengers for European trips under 3 hours. Midsize jets work for 6 to 8 passengers on longer routes.
