Private jets are a rare means of transportation. It offers the ultimate travel experience.

Generally, this means of transportation is considered as the exclusive preserve of the nouveau riche; that is, politicians, super-rich celebrities and business people, etc.

One does not need to own a Private Jet to fly one. There are Private Jets that are available for hire.

The need to hire one might be for a number of reasons, and not necessarily for pleasure. A Private Jet could be chartered due to the need to save valuable time. It could be hired for an emergency, such as to airlift someone to seek medical attention, etc.

Indeed, hiring a private jet is not exactly cheap. However, many Nigerians can afford it.

So, how much does it cost to hire a private jet?



Well, the service does not come at a flat rate. The cost is determined by several factors.

For instance, the cost can be determined by factors such as location, aircraft type and size, passenger capacity, timings, and of course the distance of the flight.

In Nigeria, several companies offer private jet charter services. These companies can be found in major Nigerian cities like Lagos, Abuja and Port Harcourt. The cost of hiring their aircraft is similar, though each can come with slight variations.

Things To Know About Flying Private Jets

When flying a private jet in Nigeria, there are certain things you need to know.

How to Group Charter A Private Jet



There is a popular misconception attached to hiring private jets. And it is that it can only happen if you are a billionaire or a multi-millionaire. Well, that is not exactly true.

For a relatively small amount, one can actually fly in a private jet. Well, this can happen if you are part of a group charter.

So, with just N108, 000, you can experience what it means to fly in a private jet.

Na people wey dey drag for ftc wan rent private jet?

Autojosh just exposed some of our celebrities and "acting bigmen group". We have seen from this post that u don't need to be a bigman to fly in a private jet. It is because our currency the naira is so poor that is why we see $3,000 dollars as very big. That should be a month's salary in some countries. May God bless us all to fulfil our dreams and desires.

I will surely fly one next year

Lets imagine I am being paid $3000/mth here in Nigeria. After lessing my expenses, how many more months do I have to save before I can hire a private jet @ $3000-6000/hr? Which is basically a one way trip. What of the return trip and waiting time?

you may not need the private jet again for the return trip. Just a single experience is okay . Use a bus for the return trip . Vacation is something u plan for. You can even save for 2 years for a vacation. If u are earning $3000/month, saving $300 dollars a month for 2 years will more than meet the cost. It also depends on your priority. In advanced countries, people value their vacation more than anything but in Nigeria, people will prefer to invest such money on properties. Imagine what $10,000 can do in a building in Nigeria but they don't care about that in advanced countries as long as the vacation will make them happy.

Don't blame us o, the system is not wired to accomodate us when we are old, incapacitated or unemployed. So, we do our best to stash money and properties while we are young and capable. I think these private jets will have charges that would cater for their return trip. If not, 5 friends with a decent 6-figures salary can easily hire them at will.

Hmm. Interesting. 110k for group travel doesn't seem so bad.

In fact during some peak periods, even economy classes can be as high.
