Abu Dhabi → Marsa Alam

Chartering a private jet from Abu Dhabi to Marsa Alam (RMF) typically costs between approximately $14,000 and $28,000 one-way. A midsize jet such as the Citation XLS+ covers the approximately 1,700 km sector direct in approximately 2 hours, starting from around $14,000. A large-cabin jet offers a premium cabin, ranging from $22,000 to $28,000. Key pricing variables include Egyptian ECAA permit fees, handling coordination at the relatively remote RMF airport, and aircraft positioning.

From Abu Dhabi, Al Bateen Executive Airport (AZI / OMAD) is the preferred departure hub; Zayed International Airport (AUH / OMAA) accommodates larger aircraft. In Marsa Alam, the gateway is Marsa Alam International Airport (RMF / HEMA), located approximately 60 km north of Marsa Alam town itself in the El Quseir governorate area of the Egyptian Red Sea coast. The airport receives charter and holiday traffic from Europe and the Gulf, operated by EMAK under concession. Hurghada International Airport (HRG / HEGN, approximately 230 km north) is the larger Red Sea alternative with more comprehensive private aviation infrastructure.

2. Hawker 900XP (Midsize Jet) - Direct non-stop; proven on Gulf-Red Sea routes.
