Private jet charter, 4,937 km · about 6 hr 06 min by heavy jet · from €57,500
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 watchAbu Dhabi AUH serves Abu Dhabi with a single runway. Business aviation handling and VIP facilities are arranged in advance.
Marseille MRS has 2 runways, the longest 3,500 metres by 45, long enough for a widebody, so no business jet is ever limited by it. Field elevation is 74 feet, low enough that it never limits take off performance.
2,666 nautical miles. This is a sector where the aircraft is chosen for what it does to you rather than what it does to the clock: cabin pressure, humidity, noise and whether you can lie flat. The shorter ranged classes need a technical stop, which is why they are not quoted here.
Block time here is computed from distance and planning cruise. At this range the numbers separate meaningfully by class.
4,937 km is 2,666 nautical miles. At 470 knots that is 5 hr 40 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 Marseille 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 74 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.
AUH Zayed International Airport serves Abu Dhabi. 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.
MRS Marseille Provence Airport serves Marseille and has 2 runways, the longest 3,500 metres by 45. Long enough for a widebody, so no business jet is ever limited by it.
Field elevation is 74 feet, low enough that it never limits take off performance.
Abu Dhabi has more than one field a private aircraft can use. This page is priced on Zayed 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Zayed International priced here AUH · OMAA | 4,105 m | 88 ft | 30 km south, about 30 minutes, the main international field |
| Al Bateen Executive AZI · OMAD | 3,200 m | 16 ft | 10 km south west, about 15 minutes, business aviation only |
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 10 passengers on a Falcon 2000LXS. Rates are the ones in force in September 2026.
| Charge | How it is worked out | Amount |
|---|---|---|
| En route navigation charges | About 2,655 km inside the Eurocontrol charging area, largest shares Italy, France, Turkey, Greece, at the 2026 unit rates and a weight factor of 0.62 for a 19.4 tonne aircraft | EUR 850 |
| Navigation charges outside the area | About 2,281 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 850, which is 1 % 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. At 2,666 nautical miles the shorter ranged classes would need a technical stop, so only the longer ranged aircraft are quoted. 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.
Range is short for this sector, so it would need a technical stop and is not quoted.
Range is short for this sector, so it would need a technical stop and is not quoted.
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 6 hr 06 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.
See all 137 aircraft →The table below is the one way all in guide price for this sector: aircraft, crew, fuel, handling at both ends, standard catering and landing fees. 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.
| Category | Typical seats | Block time | One way guide, EUR |
|---|---|---|---|
| Super midsize Challenger 350 → | 8 to 9 | about 6h 13m | 45,000 to 65,500 |
| Heavy jet Falcon 2000LXS → | 10 to 14 | about 6h 06m | 57,500 to 83,500 |
| Ultra long range Global 6000 → | 12 to 16 | about 5h 58m | 66,500 to 96,500 |
| Ultra long range Global 7500 → | 12 to 19 | about 5h 48m | 81,000 to 117,500 |
At this range the hours themselves are most of the price, so positioning matters proportionally less, but crew duty does not. An aircraft that can be crewed without a night stop before your departure is the cheaper one.
That is why the same heavy 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 Abu Dhabi to Marseille costs from EUR 57,500 on a heavy jet, and from about EUR 45,000 on a super midsize. 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 Abu Dhabi to Marseille takes about 6 hr 06 min block to block on a heavy jet. A super midsize takes about 6 hr 13 min. A ultra long range takes about 5 hr 58 min. That figure includes taxi, climb, descent and approach, so it is the time from the moment the door closes in Abu Dhabi to the moment it opens in Marseille.
The great circle distance from Abu Dhabi to Marseille is 4,937 kilometres, which is 2,666 nautical miles or 3,068 statute miles.
Departures use Zayed International Airport, IATA code AUH and ICAO code OMAA. Arrivals use Marseille Provence Airport, IATA code MRS and ICAO code LFML. Both handle business aviation.
Marseille Provence Airport has 2 runways, the longest 3,500 metres by 45, long enough for a widebody, so no business jet is ever limited by it. Field elevation is 74 feet, low enough that it never limits take off performance.
A heavy jet is the natural choice for this sector, the Falcon 2000LXS being the representative airframe. It covers the 2,666 nautical miles non stop with full seats and full fuel. A super midsize flies it too and is the cheaper way in, at about 6 hr 13 min block.
Yes. At 2,666 nautical miles the sector is inside the range of every aircraft named on this page, flown non stop with a full cabin. The shorter ranged classes need a technical stop, which is why they are not quoted here.
The clock changes between Dubai and Paris. Departure and arrival times on any quote are given in local time at each end, so there is nothing to convert.
The Falcon 2000LXS named here carries up to 10 guests, and the comfortable number for a 6 hr 06 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 Abu Dhabi and needs to reposition, or has dropped a party in Marseille and is returning. They are released continuously, sometimes months ahead and sometimes hours before departure, and have recently started from around EUR 26,000 on this sector. Give Andreea your travel window and she will watch the route for you.
France is inside the Schengen area and The united arab emirates 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. France 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. France 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.
