How Much Does It Cost To Charter A Private Jet In Nigeria

It’s hard to put a fixed price on a private jet charter in Nigeria. In fact, most charter companies don’t put a fixed rate as various factors determine the cost of the charter. The common factors are;

• Location
• Distance of the flight
• Passenger capacity
• Timings
• Aircraft size and type

Usually, the cost is often calculated per hour. This is because flights within states in Nigeria are often between 40mins – 1 hour. On average, you will need about $3,000-$6,000 to charter a private jet per hour in Nigeria. That’s about 1.5-3 million NGN to enjoy the comfort of a private jet. Private jet charter companies are strategically located in various places, especially in Lagos, Abuja, Port Harcourt, Kano etc.
