How much does a private jet from Kigali cost?

Below are frequent routes from Kigali International Airport, with a price estimate per aircraft category.

An empty leg to Kigali,
if the sky lines up.

An empty leg to or from Kigali is a repositioning flight already on the schedule: the aircraft needs to reach another base or its next mission. These trips are offered at a reduced fare, often around 30% to 75% off a classic charter, in exchange for less flexibility on dates and routing.

On every enquiry, we systematically scan the sky for these opportunities. The goal: whenever possible, a more competitive quote, on price as well as on the aircraft category available.
