What counts as an 8 seater private jet
The Cessna Citation CJ2, Hawker 800XP and Embraer Phenom 300 are the 8-seat jets you will most often be offered in France. A light jet like these costs about €4,900 to €8,790 per flight hour to charter, and from about $2.3 million to buy.
These are typical passenger seats for each model, not the certified maximum. Pilots and cabin crew sit separately.
3 models on France's DGAC list of air carriers seat 8 passengers; together they make up 24 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 12 passenger private jet.
Charter is priced for the whole aircraft by the flight hour: about €4,900 to €8,790 for a light jet in France. Tell us the route and we confirm an aircraft and price from licensed operators in France.

To charter, you pay by the flight hour, not for the seats: about €4,900 to €8,790 per hour for a light jet like these in France, before the solidarity tax and any VAT, positioning and airport charges. An empty seat costs the same as a full one, so price the trip for the whole aircraft.
