A Heavy Jet such as the Falcon 900 runs €55,000 to €74,900 one way, while an Ultra Long Range Gulfstream G550 is quoted at €71,900 to €97,400 one way, with the faster cruise of the latter two cutting roughly twenty minutes off the Midsize Jet timing.

The route

This is a long haul over open water, and the aircraft on offer reflect that: four classes are quoted, from the Citation XLS Midsize Jet at 5h 14m up to the Gulfstream G550 Ultra Long Range at 4h 43m. Most travellers choosing this route are heading to a resort rather than a city, which puts a premium on range, cabin comfort and the ability to land with reserves after nearly five hours airborne. Super Midsize and Heavy Jet types, the Challenger 350 and Falcon 900, sit between the two extremes on both time and price, and are a natural fit for groups wanting more cabin space without stepping up to ultra long range pricing. Price across the range is shaped by aircraft category, the Riyadh departure infrastructure, and the October timing ahead of the Maldives dry season that runs November to April.

How you arrive

Departure

Riyadh●RUH · OERK

Arrival

Malé●MLE · VRMM

Departures from Riyadh use King Khalid International, which has dedicated private aviation facilities. On arrival, jets land at Malé Velana, and the final leg to a resort depends on its location: seaplane transfers operate in daylight only, some resorts are reached by a combination of domestic flight and speedboat, and atolls close to Malé are typically served directly by speedboat. Planning the onward transfer, especially if landing time affects seaplane availability, is worth doing before departure.
