How much is a private jet from Johannesburg to Antananarivo for 8 passengers?

About US$21,900 one-way for the whole aircraft in a Pilatus PC-12 NG (4h 59m in the air), or roughly US$2,737 per seat. For two passengers the cheapest option is US$21,900. These are live estimates including positioning, airport and navigation fees.

How much does a return private jet from Johannesburg to Antananarivo cost?

For four passengers, a same-day return costs about US$29,500 in a Pilatus PC-12 NG, 1.3 times the one-way estimate of US$21,900. Flying back after three nights costs about US$30,700; 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 29 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.
