How much is a private jet from Maputo to Vilanculos for 8 passengers?

About US$6,100 one-way for the whole aircraft in a Cessna Grand Caravan EX (2h 01m in the air), or roughly US$762 per seat. For two passengers the cheapest option is US$6,100. These are live estimates including positioning, airport and navigation fees.

How much does a return private jet from Maputo to Vilanculos cost?

For four passengers, a same-day return costs about US$6,700 in a Cessna Grand Caravan EX, 1.1 times the one-way estimate of US$6,100. Flying back after three nights costs about US$12,800; 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.
