Common Questions

Aircraft Charter FAQ

Answers to the most common questions about chartering passenger and cargo aircraft across Asia, the Middle East & Africa.

Cargo charter flight costs vary based on aircraft type, route distance, payload weight, and timing. A regional turboprop freighter (ATR 72F) charter within Africa may start from $8,000–$12,000 per flight hour, while a narrowbody freighter (737-800BCF) across the Middle East ranges from $15,000–$25,000 per block hour. Heavy freighters like the 747-400F for long-haul routes can exceed $35,000 per block hour. Contact our charter desk for a tailored quote based on your specific requirement.
Passenger charter pricing depends on aircraft type, number of passengers, route, and season. A regional turboprop (ATR 72) for 70 passengers on a short African route may cost $6,000–$10,000 per flight hour. A narrowbody like the 737-800 for 189 passengers across the Middle East or Asia ranges from $12,000–$20,000 per block hour. Widebody aircraft for Hajj & Umrah charter flights (A330-300, 440 passengers) are priced per season and typically range from $25,000–$40,000 per block hour. Seasonal demand, especially during Hajj, affects pricing significantly.
ACMI stands for Aircraft, Crew, Maintenance, and Insurance. In a wet lease (ACMI), the operator provides the aircraft along with crew, maintenance, and insurance — the lessee only pays for fuel, airport fees, and passenger/cargo handling. A dry lease provides only the aircraft — the lessee must arrange their own crew, maintenance, and insurance under their own AOC. Wet leases are ideal for airlines needing immediate capacity (e.g. during Hajj season or AOG situations), while dry leases suit longer-term operational needs.
For standard charter requests, we typically return aircraft options within 2–4 hours. Contract confirmation and operational setup takes 24–48 hours for routine flights. For urgent or emergency flights (AOG, humanitarian relief, repatriation), we can have an aircraft airborne within 6–12 hours depending on aircraft availability and permit requirements. Overflight permits and landing slots for certain countries in Asia and Africa may take longer — we advise on lead times during the quoting process.
Yes. Hajj and Umrah pilgrim charter flights are one of our core specialties. We work with carriers across the Middle East, South Asia, and Africa to arrange widebody aircraft (A330, B747, B777) for pilgrim groups flying into Jeddah and Madinah. We handle overflight permits, landing slots, ground handling coordination, and GACA approvals. Hajj charter planning typically starts 3–6 months ahead of the season. Umrah charter can be arranged on shorter lead times throughout the year.
