Short answer — A private jet from Paris to Dubai typically costs €65,000–€80,000 one way in a Heavy Jet and €85,000–€130,000+ in a Long Range aircraft. The nonstop flight takes 6h30–7h30 from Paris-Le Bourget (LBG/LFPB) to Al Maktoum International (DWC/OMDW). French and EU travellers do not normally need a pre-arranged visa for a short stay, but passports must remain valid for at least six months on arrival.

Paris–Dubai is a major route for executives, family offices, property investors and families. This 2026 guide covers aircraft prices, real journey time, DWC versus DXB, entry requirements and ways to optimise a charter.

How much does a private jet from Paris to Dubai cost?

For a nonstop flight, a Heavy Jet usually offers the strongest balance between range, comfort and price. Smaller categories can lower the headline cost but require a fuel stop.

Ultra Long RangeGlobal 7500, Gulfstream G70014–19nonstop€110,000–€150,000+

A round trip does not necessarily cost twice the one-way fare. Keeping the aircraft in Dubai adds parking, crew accommodation and allowances. For stays beyond four or five days, two separate one-way charters are often more economical.

The quote should identify fuel, landing and navigation charges, handling, catering, Wi-Fi, transfers, crew nights and parking. Aircraft positioning is decisive: a jet already based in Paris avoids an empty ferry sector charged to the customer.

Flight time and routing

A Heavy or Long Range jet connects Paris and Dubai in 6h30–7h30 nonstop. A Midsize or some Super-Midsize aircraft require a technical stop, taking total travel time to roughly 8h30–10h.

Door-to-door time is the charter advantage. Passengers normally reach the Le Bourget FBO only 15 to 20 minutes before departure. In Dubai, a private terminal speeds up arrival formalities and allows a car to meet the aircraft.

Flight plans can change with airspace restrictions and current safety notices. The operator validates the route before departure; any diversion may affect flight time and price. Naxelio sets out these elements in each firm proposal.

Which airports should you use?

Paris-Le Bourget

Paris-Le Bourget (LBG / LFPB) is dedicated to business aviation. About 13 km north-east of Paris, it hosts several private terminals, including Jetex, Signature Aviation, Dassault Falcon Service and Universal Aviation. Border and customs checks take place at the FBO.

Al Maktoum or Dubai International?

Al Maktoum International (DWC / OMDW) is generally preferred for business aviation. Its VIP Terminal hosts Jetex, Jet Aviation, DC Aviation and ExecuJet. It is especially practical for Dubai Marina, Palm Jumeirah and Expo City.

Dubai International (DXB / OMDB) is closer to Downtown and DIFC, but slots are tighter because of commercial traffic. The best airport therefore depends on the final address, available slots and parking.

UAE entry requirements

French and EU travellers can normally enter for a short stay without applying for a visa in advance. The passport must be valid for at least six months. The operator sends the passenger manifest ahead of the flight, so passport copies should reach the broker at least 48 hours before departure.

Rules vary by nationality and purpose of travel. A short business visit does not replace a UAE work permit. Requirements should always be checked with the relevant authorities before booking.

Some medicines are controlled in the UAE. Carry a prescription or medical certificate and only quantities appropriate to the stay. Customs rules still apply in private terminals, including declarations for cash and regulated goods.

Pets may remain in the cabin, but entry preparation can include a MOCCAE import permit, ISO microchip, rabies vaccination, veterinary certificate and, depending on origin, a rabies titre test. The operator will generally declare the animal as manifested cargo. Allow six to eight weeks.

How to book in five steps

  1. Define the mission: date, time, passengers, baggage, pets and one-way or return.
  2. Compare offers: aircraft, operator, range, routing, stop and total price.
  3. Approve the quote: check catering, Wi-Fi, transfers, parking and crew nights.
  4. Send the manifest: names, nationalities and passports at least 48 hours ahead.
  5. Board at Le Bourget: arrive at the FBO 15 to 20 minutes before take-off.

Always ask for the operator's name, aircraft type and registration, and Air Operator Certificate.

How to pay less

  • Watch empty legs: repositioning flights can be 30–75% cheaper, with a fixed schedule.
  • Fill the cabin: with 10 or 12 passengers, the per-person Heavy Jet cost approaches first class.
  • Compare a return with two one-ways: the best structure depends on length of stay.
  • Avoid peak periods: Christmas, February and major Dubai events reduce availability.
  • Book several weeks ahead: this improves the chance of securing an aircraft already in Paris.

Private jet or first class?

For one to four passengers, first class is generally cheaper. From eight to ten passengers, a Heavy Jet can approach the combined first-class ticket cost while offering your own schedule, Le Bourget departure, complete cabin privacy and greater baggage control.
