Indicative rates
How much does a private jet cost per hour?
A private jet is chartered as a complete aircraft rather than sold per seat. An hourly rate is therefore a useful starting point, but it is not the final charter price. For ad-hoc charter, JetServiceNL always provides a price for the complete journey, including the operational elements relevant to your route.
| Aircraft category | Typical use | Indicative charter rate per flight hour |
|---|---|---|
| TurbopropPC-12, King Air | 4–8 passengers · regional sectors | €2,500 – €4,500 |

These are 2026 market indications, not fixed JetServiceNL tariffs. Your final proposal covers the complete journey and depends on positioning, airport costs, travel date and current availability.
Your charter price
What determines the price of your private flight?
A private flight is about more than flight time alone. You reserve the complete aircraft, crew and operational planning for your journey. The final charter price therefore depends mainly on the aircraft, positioning, airports, travel date and current availability.
Booking early usually gives you the widest choice. The sooner we can plan your journey, the better the chance of finding a suitable aircraft that is already well positioned and can be efficiently included in the flight schedule.
Aircraft and cabin
Passenger count, luggage, range and cabin preferences determine the category you actually need.
Positioning
The aircraft may need to fly empty to your departure airport or return to its home base.
Airports and slots
Landing, handling, parking and slot charges vary by airport and time of operation.
Early booking and availability
An early request gives us more room to find suitable aircraft and favourable positioning. During peak travel weeks, major events and for last-minute requests, the available fleet is often more limited.
Crew planning
Multiple sectors, waiting time, duty limits and overnight stays affect the operation.
Additional requests
Catering, pets, specialist baggage, transfers, de-icing and local taxes are included when relevant.
For the widest choice of suitable aircraft, we recommend requesting your flight as early as possible. This gives us more flexibility to optimise availability, positioning and planning.
Practical examples
Indicative one-way prices from Amsterdam
These ranges provide a more useful indication of a complete one-way journey than an hourly rate alone. They assume a suitable aircraft category, normal availability and standard operational planning.
Indicative ranges only. Actual pricing depends on the airport, date, aircraft location, passengers, luggage and cabin requirements. A return journey is not always exactly twice the one-way price.
Phenom 300
Three ways to fly a Phenom 300
For ad-hoc charter, we can already select available Phenom 300 aircraft from certified operators. In addition, JetServiceNL is preparing its own Phenom 300 programme for frequent travellers, combining a JetCard with a participation model.
The intended commercial start of the JetServiceNL Phenom 300 programme is around December 2026. Until then, ad-hoc charter through available operators remains fully possible.
Charter intelligently
How to control the total cost
Share your real priorities
Clear timing, luggage and comfort requirements allow us to select the right aircraft rather than the largest one.
Be flexible where possible
A nearby airport or slightly different departure time can unlock better-positioned aircraft.
Compare complete proposals
Check positioning, handling, catering, de-icing and crew costs rather than comparing headline rates.
Consider an empty leg
When route and timing align, an empty positioning sector can offer attractive value.
Consider JetCard or participation
Frequent European travellers may benefit from more predictable capacity and pricing.
