This is the bulk of the price: an hourly rate specific to each aircraft, covering fuel, maintenance and wear. From €2,000 per hour for a Very Light Jet, more for larger aircraft.
Private jet prices
How much does a private jet flight cost?
One single price for the whole aircraft: simple, clear and itemised.
Step 1 · Understand
MK Partnair: clear, all-inclusive prices
An air charter broker since 2013, we fly many clients every year on business and private trips, and we know the market inside out. For every journey, we select the operators and aircraft best suited to your needs. Here is how the price of a private jet charter is built.
02 · Positioning
Bringing the aircraft to you
When no aircraft is already at your departure airport, one has to be flown in: this empty flight, and sometimes its return, is part of the price.
Our technology locates the aircraft available around your departure airport. We choose the one already closest to you: fewer empty flights, so a better price.
03 · Pilots and cabin crew
A professional crew, always included
Two pilots type-rated on the aircraft, plus a flight attendant depending on the aircraft. For a return trip over several days, their hotel nights and allowances are already in the quote.
04 · Onboard services
Catering always included
- Very Light and Light JetsAt least snacks and drinks, with more depending on flight time.
- From Midsize Jets upwardsVIP catering, tailored to the length of the flight.
05 · Fees, handling and taxes
Everything is in the final price
Landing, parking, business aviation terminal, ground handling, passenger taxes and the French TSBA ticket tax: it is all included. Only de-icing may be added in winter, depending on the weather on the day; we flag it in the quote.

Step 4 · Pay less
What makes the price vary
For the same route, the price is not set in stone: it depends on the aircraft available when you book, the time of year and the shape of your trip.
What affects your price
Demand through the year
Prices follow demand: they rise gently in spring, peak in July and August, then come back down, with a small rise over the end-of-year holidays. On top of this come one-off peaks: ski holidays, the Cannes Film Festival, the Monaco Grand Prix, the Davos Forum.
- Aircraft availabilityThe earlier you book, the wider the choice, especially in high season and during major events. At the last minute we almost always find an aircraft, but from fewer options.
- The shape of your tripA same-day return costs about 1 to 1.2 times a one-way flight, because the aircraft waits for you on site. Over several days, it leaves between the two flights and the price gets closer to double.
- The airports you chooseSome airports cost more in fees, slots or parking, such as Nice in summer or Courchevel in winter. A nearby airport can sometimes bring the bill down.
- Non-stop rangeWhen the route exceeds the aircraft's range, a technical stop adds about 20%. We choose an aircraft that flies non-stop.
- Flexible datesIf you can move your departure by a day, an aircraft that has to fly the route empty anyway (an empty leg) may be offered to you at a large discount.
What we do for you
- 4,500+We start from the aircraft near you
Our database lists more than 4,500 aircraft. For each request, our technology spots those available near your departure point, and we compare them to keep positioning to a minimum.

We have no sales obligation and no agreement on any particular aircraft. One single rule: offer you the best aircraft for your needs.
- €We negotiate for you
Our prices are based on hundreds of quotes actually accepted: we know what a flight should cost, and we negotiate it with the operators.
- ↺Empty legs, conditions included
When an empty leg matches your route, we offer it to you with its conditions spelled out: date and time set by the operator, and a flight that can be cancelled if the aircraft is booked in the meantime.

Going further
Flying often? Charter or buy
Buying a jet means paying for the aircraft even when it is not flying. Charter only costs the hours you fly, and you choose the right aircraft for each trip.
CharterUnder 100 hours a yearOn-demand charter costs far less. Some people still buy an aircraft while flying little, for tax reasons: a choice to review with your adviser.
Depends on useOver 100 hours a yearThe answer depends on how you fly: number of hours, routes, number of passengers, how regular your flights are. Even when chartered out, an aircraft rarely covers its fixed costs.
GuidanceWe run the numbers with youBased on your actual flights, we compare charter and ownership, and help you choose the right aircraft if buying makes sense.

Frequently asked questions
Questions about private jet prices
How much does a private jet cost per hour?
From €2,000 for a Very Light Jet up to more than €12,000 for a long-range jet; allow €3,500 to €4,500 per hour for a Light Jet, the most requested category in Europe. The final price also includes positioning the aircraft, fees and taxes.
Does a one-way flight cost half as much as a return?
Not necessarily: it depends on the operator. Some have a fixed base: after dropping you off, the aircraft flies home empty, and that return weighs on the price. Others work with a floating base: the aircraft stays where it is until its next mission, and the price only includes a small provision in case it needs to reposition. We know how each operator works and give your one-way flight to the one that prices it most fairly. For a same-day return, the aircraft waits for you: allow about 1 to 1.2 times a one-way flight.
What is an empty leg?
A flight an aircraft has to make empty to reach its next mission. It can be offered at a large discount, provided you accept its dates and times, which are often not very flexible.
Does the price of a private jet include taxes?
Yes: our prices are net, with all taxes and fees included (flights between two French cities: excluding VAT). Only de-icing the aircraft in winter may be added.
How many flight hours before buying a jet makes sense?
Below 100 flight hours a year, on-demand charter is by far the most economical option; buying only makes sense there for tax reasons, to be reviewed with your adviser. Above that, it all depends on how you fly: number of hours, routes, passengers, regularity. We can run the numbers with you.
