What counts as a 20 passenger private jet
The Embraer ERJ 135/145, Embraer Lineage 1000 and Airbus ACJ319 are the 20-seat jets you will most often be offered in India. An airliner like these costs about quoted per trip per flight hour to charter.
These are the passenger seats registered for each jet on Indian charter permits, not the maker's maximum. Pilots and cabin crew sit separately.
2 aircraft on Indian charter permits are registered with 19 or more passenger seats, across 3 models and 2 operators.
Seats are not the only limit. Bags, fuel and runway length all count: a full 20-seat cabin on a long or hot-weather leg may need a fuel stop. If your group fills every seat, look at a 30 passenger private jet.
Charter is priced for the whole aircraft by the flight hour: about quoted per trip for an airliner in India. Tell us the route and we confirm an aircraft, crew and price from licensed operators.

20 passenger private jet price
To charter, you pay by the flight hour, not for the seats: about quoted per trip per hour for an airliner like these in India, before GST, positioning and airport charges. An empty seat costs the same as a full one, so price the trip for the whole aircraft.
Owning a jet in India also means crew, maintenance, hangar and insurance; see buying a private jet in India and our private jet price guide.
