Private jet charter, 995 km · about 1 hr 38 min by midsize jet · from €12,000
Repositioning aircraft are the cheapest way to fly this sector. Operators release them continuously, some months ahead and some only hours before departure, so the list changes daily. Name your window and Andreea hunts the leg for you.
Tell Andreea your travel window, whatever it is, and she will watch the route for repositioning legs in this range and tell you the moment one appears. If a lower price is published for the same aircraft on the same date, you will hear it from her first.
Set my price watchAlgiers ALG serves Algiers with 2 runways. Business aviation handling and VIP facilities are arranged in advance.
Faro FAO has a single runway of 2,490 metres by 45, comfortable for anything up to a heavy jet, with airliner operations planned case by case. The airport is effectively at sea level, 24 feet, so field elevation never limits performance.
537 nautical miles, comfortably inside a single crew day with time to spare at both ends. This is the classic business sector: out in the morning, back the same evening, nothing left behind. Every class on this page covers it comfortably.
No block time on this page comes from a lookup table. Each one is calculated, and the calculation is below.
995 km is 537 nautical miles. At 440 knots that is 1 hr 13 min in the air, and the fixed 25 minutes on the ground and in the climb and descent applies to any sector.
Business aviation at Faro is booked ahead, not settled on arrival. Your handler files the slot request, the general declaration and any permit the route needs.
Coordination is required for aircraft above 3,500 kg maximum take off weight. That is every aircraft named on this page, so a slot is part of the booking rather than an afterthought.
Where a night restriction applies it is confirmed for your date before the aircraft is confirmed. If you are returning the same evening, a delay at either end can push the departure outside the window, so the return is planned with margin.
Comfortable for anything up to a heavy jet, with airliner operations planned case by case. The airport is effectively at sea level, 24 feet, so field elevation never limits performance.
Distances are great circle, calculated from published airport coordinates. Runway, elevation and surface data are as published by the two airports. Slot, permission and curfew conditions are confirmed with handling for your specific date before any quote is issued.
ALG Houari Boumediene Airport serves Algiers. Long enough for a widebody, so no business jet is ever limited by it.
Departure formalities are prepared by your handler in advance and completed in the private terminal rather than the main hall.
FAO Faro Gago Coutinho International Airport serves Faro and has a single runway of 2,490 metres by 45. Comfortable for anything up to a heavy jet, with airliner operations planned case by case.
The airport is effectively at sea level, 24 feet, so field elevation never limits performance.
The price above buys the aircraft, its crew, its fuel and the landing and handling at both ends. It does not include the taxes a government charges per passenger, the navigation charges for the airspace crossed, or the permits. Those are listed here so nothing arrives as a surprise, worked at 7 passengers on a Citation XLS+. Rates are the ones in force in September 2026.
| Charge | How it is worked out | Amount |
|---|---|---|
| En route navigation charges | About 684 km inside the Eurocontrol charging area, largest shares Spain, Portugal, at the 2026 unit rates and a weight factor of 0.43 for a 9.2 tonne aircraft | EUR 200 |
| Navigation charges outside the area | About 311 km of the sector is billed by states outside the Eurocontrol system, at their own rates | at cost |
| Landing and overflight permits | This sector leaves the European common arrangements, so a landing permit and overflight permissions are filed for it. Lead time is the scheduling constraint, not the cost | at cost |
| Value added tax | The flight does not depart the European Union, so no EU VAT arises on the carriage. | nil |
Taxes and navigation charges on this sector come to about EUR 200, which is 2 % of the price above. The navigation figure is worked on the great circle, so the real routing moves it. Every one of these is passed through at cost.
One representative airframe per class. Every one covers the 537 nautical miles non stop with full seats and full fuel. Every figure below is from the aircraft page it links to. Prices are in the next section, and only the classes that fly it non stop are priced.
Covers the sector non stop, and it is the cheaper way in.
More aircraft than the sector needs, worth it if the cabin itself is the point.

Maximum guests is the highest certified seating, not the comfortable number for a 1 hr 38 min sector. The cruise figure is maximum cruise, and block times on this page are planned on long range cruise, which runs roughly 8 to 10 % lower.

The aircraft is rarely what moves the price on a sector this length. Where it starts its day is. An aircraft already in position quotes you the flight. One repositioning from further afield quotes you the flight plus its own journey to reach you.
That is why the same midsize jet can sit at the lower or the upper end of its band on an identical route with identical passengers. The difference is positioning, not the aircraft and not the service. It is also why flexibility on the date is worth more than flexibility on the aircraft, and why an empty leg, when one appears, undercuts every figure in the table above.
A one way private jet charter from Algiers to Faro costs from EUR 12,000 on a midsize jet, and from about EUR 8,500 on a light jet. The price covers aircraft, crew, fuel, handling at both ends, catering and landing fees, and it moves mainly with where the aircraft starts its day rather than with the aircraft type.
The flight from Algiers to Faro takes about 1 hr 38 min block to block on a midsize jet. A light jet takes about 1 hr 46 min. A super midsize takes about 1 hr 35 min. That figure includes taxi, climb, descent and approach, so it is the time from the moment the door closes in Algiers to the moment it opens in Faro.
The great circle distance from Algiers to Faro is 995 kilometres, which is 537 nautical miles or 618 statute miles.
Departures use Houari Boumediene Airport, IATA code ALG and ICAO code DAAG. Arrivals use Faro Gago Coutinho International Airport, IATA code FAO and ICAO code LPFR. Both handle business aviation.
Faro Gago Coutinho International Airport has a single runway of 2,490 metres by 45, comfortable for anything up to a heavy jet, with airliner operations planned case by case. The airport is effectively at sea level, 24 feet, so field elevation never limits performance.
A midsize jet is the natural choice for this sector, the Citation XLS+ being the representative airframe. It covers the 537 nautical miles non stop with full seats and full fuel. A light jet flies it too and is the cheaper way in, at about 1 hr 46 min block.
Yes. At 537 nautical miles the sector is inside the range of every aircraft named on this page, flown non stop with a full cabin. Every class on this page covers it comfortably.
The clock changes between Algiers and Lisbon. Departure and arrival times on any quote are given in local time at each end, so there is nothing to convert.
The Citation XLS+ named here carries up to 9 guests, and the comfortable number for a 1 hr 38 min sector is fewer. The number that matters is passengers plus bags plus the sector, because a full cabin and full fuel are not always possible on the same aircraft. Above that, an executive airliner is arranged.
Empty legs on this sector appear when an aircraft has already flown into Algiers and needs to reposition, or has dropped a party in Faro and is returning. They are released continuously, sometimes months ahead and sometimes hours before departure, and have recently started from around EUR 5,500 on this sector. Give Andreea your travel window and she will watch the route for you.
Portugal is inside the Schengen area and Algeria is not, so passengers clear a full external border on arrival, including passport control and customs. Since 10 April 2026 the EU Entry Exit System applies to non EU nationals, which means a one off biometric registration on the first crossing. It adds minutes, not hours, and a private terminal completes it faster than the main hall.
Quotes on this route are issued in euros. Portugal uses the euro, so the quote, the ground costs and anything you settle on arrival are all in one currency. Payment can also be settled in US dollars or UAE dirhams at the prevailing rate if that suits you better.
Yes, and they travel in the cabin rather than the hold. Portugal requires the paperwork to be in order before departure, which normally means a microchip, a valid rabies vaccination and the health certificate the destination asks for. Depending on the country of departure a rabies antibody titration test may also be required, and it needs to be taken well in advance. The paperwork, not the flight, is what needs the lead time.
Aircraft, crew, fuel, handling at both ends, standard catering and landing fees, quoted as one all in figure with nothing added afterwards. It excludes de icing in winter, out of hours surcharges, and any charge that arises from a change you make after the aircraft is confirmed.
A firm all in quote typically comes back within 30 minutes. Departure depends on the permissions rather than the aircraft: a slot at each end and, out of hours, any night approval. With those in hand a same day departure is realistic, and 24 to 48 hours of notice makes the aircraft choice, and therefore the price, considerably better.
