Rates & routesHow much does a private jet in South Africa cost?
The cost of a private jet to South Africa is influenced by the aircraft category, the chosen airport (such as Cape Town International or O.R. Tambo), slot availability, FBO services, taxes, distance, and seasonality. A light jet starts from €4,800 per hour, a midsize jet from €6,000 per hour, and a heavy jet from €11,400 per hour.
Prices and demand see a significant increase during events like the Cape Town Jazz Festival, the Cape Town Formula E Grand Prix, or during the peak summer season from December to February along the Garden Route.
Only a complimentary, personalised quote, tailored to your specific itinerary, can provide the precise cost of your private jet flight to South Africa.

Available Empty Legs
Up to -75%Take advantage of jet repositioning on this route at reduced rates. Same service, date flexibility required.
Empty legs (repositioning flights) offer a unique opportunity to fly by private jet at reduced prices. When an aircraft needs to reposition after dropping off passengers, this empty flight is offered at preferential rates of up to 75% off the standard price. Contrary to popular belief, an affordable private jet does exist: empty legs allow you to get a private jet quote well below standard rates. These private jet deals are ideal for flexible travellers seeking a discounted private flight. The principle is simple: you enjoy the same premium service (catering, transfers, concierge) but at a reduced price because the aircraft has to make this journey anyway. To take advantage of these empty leg offers, sign up for alerts and receive availability in real time. Each empty leg is a chance to fly by jet at a reduced rate — dates are fixed but the savings are substantial. Browse all available empty legs on our real-time search engine, or request your free quote to find out about the next empty legs on this route.
Airports & private access
Private airports in South Africa: VIP access, runways and terminals
Selecting the ideal airport for your private jet in South Africa hinges on several key factors: proximity to your final destination, slot availability, the runway length required for long-haul flights, the presence of a dedicated Fixed-Base Operator (FBO) terminal with customs, and ground transfer options. O.R.
Tambo International Airport serves as the primary gateway for business aviation, offering swift access to the country's economic heart and dedicated private jet infrastructure.
For optimal coverage of the region, Cape Town International Airport serves the southern reaches and its tourist attractions, while O.R.
Tambo, with its extensive runway, facilitates intercontinental connections.

How do I book and pay for my private jet flight with PJC?
Initial contact, a bespoke offer, contract, payment. And always in direct contact with your private advisor, at every step.
