Charter a private jet, on demand.
Your flight, your schedule.
On-demand charter: a whole aircraft booked for your trip alone, departing from the nearest business airport, at the time that suits you.
A private jet costs from €2,381 per hour (light jet) to €12,120 per hour (ultra-long-range), all-in excluding landing fees, per the hourly rates published by Paramount Business Jets (08/2026), converted at the ECB rate. Example: Paris–Nice is estimated from €3,000 one-way (light jet, ~1h 12). The firm price depends on aircraft, date and repositioning; it arrives within 60 minutes.
How to charter a private jet on demand
Chartering a private jet on demand means booking a whole aircraft for a single trip, with no subscription or term commitment. The process comes down to four details: a departure point, a destination, a date and a passenger count. From there, the platform identifies available aircraft from certified operators and returns an all-in quote within sixty minutes.
Once the aircraft is chosen, everything is handled: airport slots, crew, flight plan, onboard catering. On the day, you arrive at the business airport — often minutes from the city centre — about fifteen minutes before take-off. No check-in, no endless screening: the aircraft waits for you.
It is the most flexible way into private aviation, and the one that suits the vast majority of travellers: no need to own an aircraft or buy a block of hours to fly when you need to.
Which aircraft to charter for your route
The right aircraft depends on distance and passenger count. For a regional link — Paris–Geneva, Nice–Saint-Tropez — a turboprop or light jet is enough and costs the least. For a European crossing with a few passengers, the midsize or super-midsize jet offers the best balance of cabin comfort and range.
As soon as you aim transatlantic — Paris–New York, Geneva–Dubai — you need a heavy or long-range jet, able to fly eleven hours non-stop with a stand-up cabin. Beyond sixteen passengers, the VIP airliner takes over. Our rates by category detail the cost of each option, and our model pages give the real performance of every aircraft.
One-off charter or a regular solution?
On-demand charter is ideal for occasional flights: you pay only for what you use, with no fixed costs. If you fly more often — several trips a month — other formulas become attractive. A jet card locks in an hourly rate and guarantees availability; fractional ownership only makes sense beyond several hundred hours a year.
To seize an opportunity, also watch the empty legs: these empty repositioning flights, offered up to seventy-five percent cheaper, are the most economical way to charter an aircraft when your calendar is flexible.
How to charter a private aircraft, step by step
Chartering a private aircraft takes five steps. 1. You give the route, date and passenger count — via the quote form, WhatsApp or phone. 2. Within sixty minutes you receive two or three available aircraft, each with a firm all-in price. 3. You choose; the charter contract and payment are handled online. 4. The operator files the flight plan, books slots and crew; you receive the business-terminal name and reporting time. 5. On the day you arrive fifteen minutes before take-off; the car waits at the foot of the aircraft on arrival.
No commitment, no subscription: on-demand charter is the formula most of our clients use, from their first flight to their hundredth.
Charter, empty leg or jet card: which one?

When in doubt, start with charter: it is reversible, and our advisors tell you honestly when a jet card or fractional ownership would become cheaper. Prices by category are published.
