How much to charter a private jet for one trip

The short answer

Chartering a private jet for one trip costs from €6,400 for a short hop like Paris to Geneva on a light jet to €142,300 for New York to London on an ultra long range jet, in November 2026. The price is the block time times the hourly rate of the class, plus positioning and airport costs.

How the price of one trip is built

Take London Farnborough to Nice on a midsize jet. The airways distance is 594 nautical miles, which our model turns into 1h 43m of block time.

Part of the priceLondon to Nice, midsize jet
Block time1h 43m
Hourly rate of the class€4,800 to €6,200
Positioning share on a one wayabout 0h 36m more
Airport costs€1,900
Total, one way€13,000 to €16,300

The positioning share covers the empty hours the aircraft needs to reach you or return to base. When an aircraft is already where you are, or already flying your way, that share shrinks and the price falls: that is what an empty leg is.

Atljet model, November 2026, airport costs and positioning share included. Indicative; the desk confirms aircraft and final price.

What moves the price up or down

Peak dates such as Christmas in the Alps, the Monaco Grand Prix or August in the Mediterranean fill the aircraft based nearby, so the desk has to bring one from further away. Departures in the middle of the week and outside peak hours do the opposite.

Overnight stays add crew hotel costs; winter adds de-icing; a very short notice can mean a longer positioning. None of these changes the hourly rate, they change the hours and the extras.

Questions

How much does it cost to charter a private jet one way?+

From €6,400 on a short European hop to €142,300 across the Atlantic in our model for November 2026. Most trips inside Europe on a light or midsize jet sit between €8,800 and €20,200.

Is a round trip twice the price of a one way?+

Not always. On a same day return the aircraft waits for you instead of flying home empty, so the positioning share is used for your return. On separate days the desk compares waiting with two one ways and quotes the cheaper.

Are airport fees included in the quote?+

Yes. Every quote shows the total, airport costs included. Our model counts €1,900 of airport costs per leg; the final quote uses the real fees of the airports and the aircraft.

How fast can I get a price for my trip?+
