Questions & answers

Flying private, explained.

How much does a private jet charter cost?

It depends on the aircraft, the distance and how long it waits for you. As a rough guide, light jets cost less per hour than long-range jets, and a return trip with the aircraft waiting is often better value than two one-way flights. Send your route and we'll give you a firm price, with no obligation.

How far in advance do I need to book?

The earlier, the more choice you have, but we regularly arrange flights within hours. Call the charter desk for anything urgent; it's open 24/7.

What is an empty leg?

When an aircraft flies empty to pick up passengers or return home, that flight can be sold at a reduced price. The route and approximate time are fixed by the original trip, so empty legs suit travellers with flexible plans.

Which airports can I fly from?

Any airport or airstrip suitable for the aircraft, including Wilson Airport and Jomo Kenyatta International in Nairobi, Moi International in Mombasa, and safari airstrips such as those in the Masai Mara. Smaller aircraft open up shorter runways.

How much luggage can I bring?

It depends on the aircraft. Light jets suit soft bags; larger jets take full-size suitcases, golf bags and skis. Tell us what you're bringing and we'll make sure it fits.

Can I bring my pet?

Yes, on most aircraft pets can travel in the cabin with you, subject to the destination country's import rules. Mention it in your request and we'll check the paperwork.

What documents do I need?

The same as for any international flight: a valid passport and any visas for your destination. For domestic flights in Kenya, a national ID or passport. Our concierge team can help with visas.

Can you fly cargo or a medical evacuation?

Yes. We arrange freighters up to wide-body size for cargo, and air ambulances with medical crews for patient transfers. Use the quote form or call the desk with the details.

How do I pay?

Your quote sets out the payment terms. Flights are confirmed once the charter agreement is signed and payment is received.
