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

About US$10,000 one-way for the whole aircraft in a Pilatus PC-12 NG (1h 50m in the air), or roughly US$1,250 per seat. For two passengers the cheapest option is US$10,000. These are live estimates including positioning, airport and navigation fees.

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

For four passengers, a same-day return costs about US$10,500 in a Pilatus PC-12 NG, 1.1 times the one-way estimate of US$10,000. Flying back after three nights costs about US$20,500; 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.
