What counts as an 8 seater private jet
The Bombardier Challenger 604 are the 8-seat jets you will most often be offered in the UAE. A heavy jet like these costs about AED 55,370 to AED 67,940 per flight hour to charter, and from about $11.45 million to buy.
These are typical passenger seats for each model, not the certified maximum. Pilots and cabin crew sit separately.
One model on our register of GCAA air operator certificate holders seats 8 passengers; it makes up 10 aircraft.
Seats are not the only limit. Bags, fuel and runway length all count: a full 8-seat cabin on a long or hot-weather leg may need a fuel stop. If your group fills every seat, look at a 10 seater private jet.
Charter is priced for the whole aircraft by the flight hour: about AED 55,370 to AED 67,940 for a heavy jet in the UAE. Tell us the route and we confirm an aircraft and price from licensed operators in the UAE.

To charter, you pay by the flight hour, not for the seats: about AED 55,370 to AED 67,940 per hour for a heavy jet like these in the UAE, before the airport departure fee, positioning and airport charges. An empty seat costs the same as a full one, so price the trip for the whole aircraft.
