Private jet charter, 859 km · about 1 hr 35 min by light jet · from €8,000
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 watchKuwait City KWI serves Kuwait City with 2 runways. Business aviation handling and VIP facilities are arranged in advance.
Dubai DWC has 2 runways, the longest 4,500 metres by 60, long enough for a widebody, so no business jet is ever limited by it. Field elevation is 114 feet, low enough that it never limits take off performance.
At 464 nautical miles this is a straightforward crossing for anything from a light jet upward. Short enough that where the aircraft starts its day matters more than which aircraft it is. Every class on this page covers it comfortably.
Every block time on this page is calculated, not quoted from a table. The arithmetic is below, so you can check it.
859 km is 464 nautical miles. At 400 knots that is 1 hr 10 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 Dubai 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.
Long enough for a widebody, so no business jet is ever limited by it. Field elevation is 114 feet, low enough that it never limits take off 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.
KWI Kuwait International Airport serves Kuwait City. 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.
DWC Al Maktoum International Airport serves Dubai and has 2 runways, the longest 4,500 metres by 60. Long enough for a widebody, so no business jet is ever limited by it.
Field elevation is 114 feet, low enough that it never limits take off performance.
Dubai has more than one field a private aircraft can use. This page is priced on Al Maktoum International Airport. The alternatives are below with their own runway, elevation and drive time. If another suits your day better, say so when you ask for the quote and it is repriced on that field.
| Airport | Runway | Elevation | From the city centre |
|---|---|---|---|
| Al Maktoum priced here DWC · OMDW | 4,500 m | 114 ft | 37 km south west, the business aviation field |
| Dubai International DXB · OMDB | 4,447 m | 62 ft | 5 km east of the centre, congested |
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 6 passengers on an Embraer Phenom 300E. Rates are the ones in force in September 2026.
| Charge | How it is worked out | Amount |
|---|---|---|
| Navigation charges outside the area | About 859 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 |
Nothing above is a margin. Every charge listed is passed through at cost.
One representative airframe per class. Every one covers the 464 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.
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 35 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 light 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 Kuwait City to Dubai costs from EUR 8,000 on a light jet, and from about EUR 8,000 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 Kuwait City to Dubai takes about 1 hr 35 min block to block on a light jet. A midsize jet takes about 1 hr 28 min. A super midsize takes about 1 hr 26 min. That figure includes taxi, climb, descent and approach, so it is the time from the moment the door closes in Kuwait City to the moment it opens in Dubai.
The great circle distance from Kuwait City to Dubai is 859 kilometres, which is 464 nautical miles or 534 statute miles.
Departures use Kuwait International Airport, IATA code KWI and ICAO code OKKK. Arrivals use Al Maktoum International Airport, IATA code DWC and ICAO code OMDW. Both handle business aviation.
Al Maktoum International Airport has 2 runways, the longest 4,500 metres by 60, long enough for a widebody, so no business jet is ever limited by it. Field elevation is 114 feet, low enough that it never limits take off performance.
A light jet is the natural choice for this sector, the Embraer Phenom 300E being the representative airframe. It covers the 464 nautical miles non stop with full seats and full fuel. It is also the cheapest class that covers the sector, so there is nothing to trade away.
Yes. At 464 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 Kuwait and Dubai. Departure and arrival times on any quote are given in local time at each end, so there is nothing to convert.
The Embraer Phenom 300E named here carries up to 10 guests, and the comfortable number for a 1 hr 35 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 Kuwait City and needs to reposition, or has dropped a party in Dubai and is returning. They are released continuously, sometimes months ahead and sometimes hours before departure, and have recently started from around EUR 4,000 on this sector. Give Andreea your travel window and she will watch the route for you.
Neither end is inside the Schengen area, so entry requirements are set by the United Arab Emirates alone. Visas, where they apply, are arranged in advance rather than on arrival, and your handler confirms the current position for each passport on board before the aircraft is confirmed.
Quotes on this route are issued in euros. The united arab emirates uses the UAE dirham rather than the euro. Quotes on this route are still issued in euros, and ground costs at the arrival end are settled through your handler, so nothing needs changing locally on the day. 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. The united arab emirates 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.
