Jeddah is Saudi Arabia’s gateway to the Red Sea and one of the busiest cities for private aviation in the Gulf region: in 2025 we count more than 5,300 private flights to and from the city, connecting it with some 295 destinations. Riyadh accounts for more than 40% of them; Dubai, London, Abu Dhabi, Istanbul and Doha follow.
The airport has three long runways, so every class of jet can use it — from a Phenom 300 for a day of meetings in Riyadh to a Legacy 650 or Falcon 7X for a non-stop flight to London or Geneva. We select the aircraft and the flight time that fit your plans, and every flight is operated by a licensed air carrier with qualified crews and strict safety standards.
Guide one-way prices in US dollars for the entire aircraft from King Abdulaziz International Airport, including crew, fuel, airport and handling fees and 15% Saudi VAT on flights within Saudi Arabia. Your final quote depends on your travel day, aircraft availability and repositioning — the price of flying the aircraft empty to Jeddah if it is based elsewhere. Contact us for a final quote for your flight.
Riyadh is by far the most popular route from Jeddah, especially from March to June. The flight time is about 1 hour 35 minutes in a light jet such as the Phenom 300, from $15,150 one way including VAT, and most clients choose a Challenger 350 or Legacy 650 for a larger cabin.

How to Book a Private Jet from Jeddah
Charter Managers

King Abdulaziz International Airport lies north of the city, 22 km from Al-Balad in a straight line, with direct road access to the business districts and the Corniche. It is Jeddah’s only airport and the first choice for every private flight to the city.
Private terminals. Private flights are handled by dedicated business aviation services (FBO — a private terminal and ground handling for business aviation), away from the airline terminals: you avoid the airline queues, your handling agent meets you on arrival, and your luggage goes straight on board.
Three long runways. The airport has three runways, the longest 4,000 m (13,123 ft), so every class of jet can use it — from light jets to long-range aircraft such as the Falcon 7X and Global 6000 for non-stop flights to London, Paris and Geneva.
International flights. Passport control and customs for international private flights take place at the airport. Visitors from many countries can apply for a Saudi eVisa online; your charter manager prepares the passenger details and permits in advance.
Hajj and Ramadan. Jeddah is the main gateway for pilgrims, and during the Hajj season and the last days of Ramadan the airport is at its busiest. Aircraft stands and slots are limited at these times, so it is best to book well ahead.
Ground services. Handling services include catering, cars and porters, and our concierge services cover hotels and restaurants on the Corniche and in the city centre.
