How much does a return private jet from Mombasa to Mahé cost?

Flying back after three nights costs about US$23,900; 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.
