Dakar to Lagos private jet prices by group size and trip

How much is a private jet from Dakar to Lagos for 8 passengers?

About US$20,400 one-way for the whole aircraft in a King Air 350i (4h 59m in the air), or roughly US$2,550 per seat. For two passengers the cheapest option is US$20,400. These are live estimates including positioning, airport and navigation fees.

How much does a return private jet from Dakar to Lagos cost?

For four passengers, a same-day return costs about US$29,800 in a Pilatus PC-12 NG, 1.5 times the one-way estimate of US$20,400. Flying back after three nights costs about US$31,000; the engine compares keeping the aircraft and crew with you against two separate rotations and uses the cheaper. A one-way price already pays for the aircraft to fly home empty, which is why a return costs far less than two one-ways.

Estimates as of 30 October 2026: whole aircraft in US dollars, including positioning, airport and navigation fees; returns include crew overnight and standby costs or two rotations, whichever is cheaper. The operator confirms the final price. Compare every route in the Africa Private Jet Price Index.
