Private Jet Charter to Algeria
From the south of England, Algiers is two and a half hours away by business jet, a shorter flight than most people expect for the largest country in Africa. Algeria is also several journeys rather than one: the capital and the Mediterranean coast, the Roman ruins of the east, the oilfield airstrips of the Sahara and, far to the south, the Hoggar mountains. Each wants a different airport and a different degree of preparation. Our customers have access to 6,500 jets of all types and configurations available for rent. We will help you choose the best option based on your needs and objectives. Our catalog contains the models from the largest manufacturers: Gulfstream, Dassault, Embraer, Airbus, Boeing, Bombardier, Learjet, Cessna, Beechcraft, Pilatus, HondaJet, etc. We have established partnerships with the world's largest airlines and VIP terminals, which means we can offer you favourable flight conditions and a high level of service. Our experts will manage the organization of your flight - starting with paperwork, agreements, etc., and ending with a transfer and meeting at the airport. Our company provides a full range of business aviation and concierge services. For Algeria that means a landing permit and an overflight permit from the civil aviation authority, a handler booked ahead, visas for every passenger and a plain answer on which airfield saves the long drive.

At your request, the aviation consultants of Private Jets UK will help you choose the jet with the suitable technical parameters (production year, flight hours, and home base). The cost of the private jet charter in Algeria depends on many factors, such as the model of the business jet, the number of passengers, departure and destination airports, type of flight, duration of parking, additional services, etc. Therefore, we calculate the price of each order individually taking into account your wishes. You can use an online calculator to get an instant charter quote. Please indicate your real contact details to get the final calculation.
You can calculate the cost of your flight in several ways:
- using an online calculator on the website (however, it shows only the approximate price);
- via Messenger (WhatsApp or Telegram);
- by landline or cell phone;
- via e-mail (jets@private-jets.co.uk).
Please note that the above-mentioned price is indicative only. It is calculated on this basis: a departure from Biggin Hill, an Embraer Phenom 300E flying nonstop to Algiers Houari Boumediene and two passengers aboard. If you want to get a personal quote, just fill out the online booking form below. Our aviation consultant will make the calculation within 20 minutes, and then contact you to specify the details of the flight.
How long does it take to fly to Algeria?
Algeria keeps one hour ahead of Greenwich Mean Time all year and does not change its clocks, so it is an hour ahead of Britain in winter and on the same time in summer. A nine o'clock departure from the south of England lands in Algiers at about half past twelve local time in winter, and at about half past eleven in summer. These are the sectors to Algiers Houari Boumediene on a Phenom 300E, gate to gate, from the airfields our clients use most:
925 nautical miles, the base for the price quoted at the top of the pageabout 2 h 35 min
928 nautical miles, for Surrey, Hampshire and the Thames Valleyabout 2 h 35 min
961 nautical miles, for north London and the counties beyondabout 2 h 40 min
954 nautical miles, for the west of England and south Walesabout 2 h 40 min
1,068 nautical miles, for the north-west of Englandabout 2 h 55 min
1,234 nautical miles, the main Scottish departureabout 3 h 20 min
The distance sets the aircraft before the budget does
A light jet such as the Phenom 300E, quoted at a range of about 2,000 nautical miles, flies Algiers, Oran, Constantine and Annaba without a stop, and reaches Ghardaia and Hassi Messaoud with reserves to spare. The far south is another matter: Tamanrasset lies 1,800 nautical miles from Biggin Hill, too far for comfortable reserves in a light jet, so that sector is quoted on a Praetor 600, a super-midsize jet with a quoted range of about 3,900 nautical miles.
A party with survey equipment or a month of luggage is better in a Praetor 600 or a Challenger 350, and the operator files the route and the overflight permissions for every state along the way before a sector is confirmed.
The exact flight time depends on the model of the business jet, as well as the speed of the tail or head wind. Our consultant will make a detailed calculation of the flight time for the chosen business jet.

Two things worth knowing about these figures
– The departure airfield moves the price by a few thousand pounds. Edinburgh costs about £3,600 more than Biggin Hill on the same aircraft and Glasgow about £3,650 more, and each hundred nautical miles adds roughly £1,150 on a Phenom 300E. The title price is the Biggin Hill departure; Southampton, at £12,350, is a little cheaper still;
– A one-way price assumes the aircraft flies back empty. For a return trip with a stay of several days the aircraft either waits in Algeria, with parking and crew accommodation as lines of their own, or flies home and returns for you, and we show both versions side by side.
Algiers is the anchor, not the only answer. The same departure airfield costs this to the other Algerian airports, with the aircraft shown in the second column:
| Route from Biggin Hill | Aircraft | Flight time | Price, one way |
|---|---|---|---|
| Biggin Hill - Algiers Houari Boumediene 925 nm / 1,713 km |
Phenom 300E up to 8 |
about 2 h 35 min | from £12,500 |
| Biggin Hill - Annaba Rabah Bitat 969 nm / 1,795 km |
Phenom 300E up to 8 |
about 2 h 40 min | from £13,000 |
| Biggin Hill - Oran Ahmed Ben Bella 981 nm / 1,817 km |

about 4 h 40 min | from £29,600 |
Private jet flights within Algeria and to its neighbours
Most Algerian itineraries are a hub and spokes: a jet from London to Algiers, and a hop to the east, the west or the south. The sectors below start at Algiers and include the way back into Europe:
| Route | Aircraft | Flight time | Price, one way |
|---|---|---|---|
| Algiers - Constantine 173 nm / 320 km |
Pilatus PC-12 NGX up to 9 |
about 1 h | from £3,100 |
| Algiers - Oran 205 nm / 380 km |
Pilatus PC-12 NGX up to 9 |
about 1 h 10 min | from £3,100 |
| Algiers - Hassi Messaoud 348 nm / 644 km |
Pilatus PC-12 NGX up to 9 |
about 1 h 45 min | from £4,600 |
| Algiers - Tunis 351 nm / 650 km |
Phenom 300E up to 8 |
about 1 h 10 min | from £5,900 |
| Algiers - Madrid 407 nm / 754 km |
Phenom 300E up to 8 |
about 1 h 20 min | from £6,500 |
| Algiers - Tamanrasset 875 nm / 1,620 km |
Phenom 300E up to 8 |
about 2 h 25 min | from £11,950 |
| Algiers - Paris Le Bourget 767 nm / 1,420 km |
Citation XLS+ up to 9 |
about 2 h 15 min | from £13,250 |
Two things worth knowing about the sectors inside Algeria
– Fuel for a flight between two Algerian airports carries VAT, and whether a foreign-registered aircraft may carry passengers between two Algerian points is settled by the operator in writing before we quote an internal leg;
– A Pilatus PC-12 covers the northern sectors in the table in about an hour and a quarter or less. For Tamanrasset the jet is the better tool.
We can arrange the flights from any cities in the UK (England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland) and European countries. Due to a large database of available business jets, we can help you find an optimal jet and crew. If you have any questions about the departure or the flight itself, you can ask them using the form below:
Prices depending on the type of business jet
We can clearly show the high dependence of the cost of the flight, on the type of aircraft - we have collected approximate data, at the price of 1 flight hour, for various types of business jets:

The cost per hour indicated in the table is preliminary and does not constitute an offer or a commercial offer. Exact prices are available from the managers of the company.
Online Calculator
If you want to make an urgent calculation of the cost of a private plane flight, use our online calculator. Just fill in all the fields of the form with a note that you are interested in a specific model of the aircraft and get the final price. NB! - the figures are sent to you by email or messenger, please carefully fill in the contact details to get the calculation.
All our calculations are as transparent as possible for you. After receiving the request, we will prepare a beautiful offer - where the costs and the final price will be clearly described. The exact price is agreed in advance and is written in the contract, so you can be sure of the final cost.
Private jets are ready to take off
Our database contains over 6,500 business jets (about 3,500 in Europe and 3,000 in the rest of the world) of different configurations and production years. The list of models is constantly updated. Unfortunately, we can't post a full list of available jets on our website due to confidentiality issues. Please contact the managers of the company for more accurate information. We will help you choose a suitable model taking into account your wishes. These are the typical choices for Algeria:
Turboprops and light jets
The Phenom 300E is the aircraft behind our title price and does the London run nonstop. Within Algeria the Pilatus PC-12 NGX is the practical tool for the northern cities, and it takes up to nine.
Super-midsize
The right size for a delegation with staff and equipment, or for a family with real luggage. A Challenger 350 and a Praetor 600 fly to any Algerian gateway, and a Praetor 600 is what we quote for Tamanrasset.
Heavy jets
For a larger party that wants a proper cabin, and for a loop that continues from Algeria to Tunis, Rome or Madrid.

Business aviation airports in Algeria
Algeria has seven airports that matter to a private traveller, and the useful question is which one fits the programme, not which one is biggest:
| Airport | Ground | How it operates |
|---|---|---|
| Algiers Houari Boumediene ALG / DAAG |
Beside the capital, about 17 km east-south-east of the city centre | Two asphalt runways of 3,500 metres, 05/23 and 09/27. Listed as an airport of entry with customs and immigration, open round the clock. No slot, but a landing permit, and handling is compulsory |
| Oran Ahmed Ben Bella ORN / DAOO |
Western coast, 205 nm from Algiers | Runways of 3,600 and 3,000 metres, about 9 km south of the city near Es Senia, with a newer Terminal 3. Swissport is listed as a handler |
| Constantine Mohamed Boudiaf CZL / DABC |
Eastern interior, 173 nm from Algiers | Runways of 3,000 and 2,400 metres, about 9 km south of the city, at 706 metres. Swissport is listed as a handler |
| Annaba Rabah Bitat AAE / DABB |
North-east coast, 230 nm from Algiers | Runways of 3,000 and 2,290 metres, about 9 km south of the city, at sea level. Handling is listed with Air Algerie |
| Ghardaia Noumerat GHA / DAUG |
Northern Sahara, 271 nm from Algiers | A scheduled-service airport at 461 metres in the province of the M'Zab valley, listed among the airports of the oil and gas operations. We confirm runway data, hours and customs for your date |
| Hassi Messaoud Oued Irara HME / DAUH |
Saharan oilfield, 348 nm from Algiers | One asphalt runway of 3,000 metres, 18/36, about 9 km south-east of the town, operated by EGSA Alger. Listed among the airports of entry for the oil and gas region |
| Tamanrasset Aguenar TMR / DAAT |
Deep south, 875 nm from Algiers | Runways of 3,600 and 3,100 metres, about 7 km north-west of the town at 1,377 metres. Listed as the place where most aircraft land for fuel on southbound technical stops |
Algiers does nearly all of the work, and nobody should expect the infrastructure of Nice or Geneva. The handler guidance we rely on lists no dedicated general aviation terminal there, so a private aircraft is handled through the main airport with a supervising agent appointed to run the permits, the fuel, the crew visas and the passenger flow.
Oran is the airport for the western coast and the second city; Constantine is the gateway to the east and the Roman sites, and its elevation is worth a question about summer payload. Annaba works for the north-eastern coast.
Hassi Messaoud and Tamanrasset are working airfields. A party flying to Hassi Messaoud is nearly always flying for an employer, with transport from the apron arranged by the host. Tamanrasset is the airport for the desert and the Hoggar mountains.
Four points settle most Algerian arrivals before a quote goes out:
Landing permit: ask early
A landing permit from the Algerian civil aviation authority is needed for every type of flight, private ones included, together with an overflight permit. The official lead time listed is 72 hours. We start the request on the day of the booking and allow more for a first trip.
A permit, not a slot
Algerian airports are listed as not slot coordinated, so the landing permit does the work of a slot. A permit is listed as valid for about 24 hours, so a delay of a day means a new request.
Fuel is paid by release
The national company Naftal is the only jet fuel supplier, and credit cards are not accepted for aviation fuel. Uplift is arranged through the handler or the flight support agent against a fuel release.
Handler named in the quote
Air Algerie and Swissport are the two licensed handlers, with Swissport listed at Algiers, Constantine and Oran and Air Algerie elsewhere. Handling is compulsory, and the quote names the handler for each stop.
Arriving from Britain: passports, visas and what to carry
Algeria is outside the European Union and the Schengen area, and British passport holders need a visa. These are the points that decide whether the passengers pass through in minutes or are held at the desk:
valid for at least six months after the day of arrival; a passport reported lost or stolen is refusedevery passenger, children included
a visa is required; a tourist visa on arrival may be available at some airports when most of the travel is in the south, but only with a booking through an approved local travel agency, and overstaying can mean detention at the airportapply before the flight
cash worth about £4,300 or more in any currency is declared on arrival and on departure; only residents may carry Algerian dinars in or out, and only up to 10,000 dinarsdeclare in the hall
bringing drones, binoculars, telescopes or certain photography equipment in without authorisation is illegal, so a long lens or a drone is cleared with Algerian customs firstask before you pack
Inside the country a passport is carried on domestic flights. Coming home is a flight into Britain: a General Aviation Report goes to the border authorities not earlier than 48 hours and not later than two hours before departure, British and Irish citizens need no electronic travel authorisation, and most other nationalities do.
Read the travel advice before you book
The British government advises against all travel within 30 km of Algeria's borders with Libya, Mauritania, Mali and Niger, and within 30 km of the Tunisian border in the provinces of Illizi and Ouargla and in the Chaambi mountains area. It advises against all but essential travel within 30 km of the rest of the Tunisian border. Its safety section describes a high threat of terrorism, higher near the southern, Libyan and Tunisian borders and in the Sahara, a kidnap threat highest in remote areas, and risks of earthquakes, floods and summer wildfires. Travel insurance can be invalid if you travel against the advice. The airports on this page are not named in those border strips, but a Saharan itinerary is read against the map and the policy wording, and a flight is confirmed only when the operator holds the route, the permits and the cover in writing.

Which airport for which part of Algeria
Algeria is large enough that the wrong airport costs a day:
the airport is about 17 km from the centre, and traffic in the capital is heavyAlgiers Houari Boumediene
the airport is about 9 km south of the cityOran Ahmed Ben Bella
the airport is about 9 km south of the city; Timgad lies in Batna province and Djemila in Setif province, both inland in the north-eastConstantine Mohamed Boudiaf
the airport is about 9 km south of the city, at sea levelAnnaba Rabah Bitat
five fortified desert villages founded by the IbaditesGhardaia Noumerat
the airport is about 9 km south-east of the townHassi Messaoud Oued Irara
the Hoggar highlands lie about 1,500 km south of Algiers, just east of the townTamanrasset Aguenar
Algiers, the Roman east and the Sahara: what our clients go for
Energy comes first. Algeria has the third-largest economy in Africa, largely because of its oil and gas, and Sonatrach, its national company, is the largest company on the continent and a major supplier of natural gas to Europe. An engineering team may continue from the capital south to a field, which is why Hassi Messaoud is on every price list we send.
Heritage is the second reason, and Algeria holds seven World Heritage sites. The Kasbah of Algiers is a fortified coastal citadel with Ottoman-era palaces, mosques and markets laid out largely in the sixteenth century. Timgad is a Roman military colony founded by the emperor Trajan, and Djemila a hilltop Roman town with temples, arches and mosaics. Tipasa began as a Punic trading post and became a Roman port.
The desert is the third. The M'Zab valley near Ghardaia and the Tassili n'Ajjer, a sandstone plateau with over 15,000 prehistoric rock paintings and carvings, belong to a Sahara that dominates most of the territory. Reaching them needs local arrangements as well as a flight.
The coast adds a summer option, with the sea warm enough for swimming from mid July to early October.
The Algerian year: a mild coast, a hot desert and a wet winter
The coast has mild wet winters and hot dry summers, the interior is semi-arid, and the south is true desert:
Algiers has its cool season from late November to late March, with average highs of about 16 degrees in January, and December is the wettest monthcool and wet on the coast
highs in Algiers of about 19 degrees in April, a comfortable season for the Roman sitesshoulder
Algiers has its hot season from late June to late September, with highs of about 29 degrees in July and August, August being the hottest month; July is the driest month, and sand-dune areas of the interior can reach 43 degreeshot
Tamanrasset, at 1,377 metres, has highs of about 20 degrees in January and about 36 in July, and almost no rain; the desert and the Hoggar are visited in the cooler monthswinter for the Sahara
Hot days, high runways and the desert
Tamanrasset stands at 1,377 metres and Constantine at 706 metres. The take-off performance of an aircraft falls when a field is both high and hot, so for a summer departure from either we ask the operator to confirm the payload in the quote.
The Algerian calendar: Ramadan, summer festivals and the cool-season desert
The Ramadan dates shift through the year, so they are checked first:

Flying to Algeria with a dog or a cat
The cabin is not the problem: the animal sits beside you and nothing goes into the hold. The paperwork is. Algeria is not on either of Britain's lists of listed countries, so an animal coming home needs a rabies blood test planned months before the flight.
The one fact to read before you book
Algerian entry conditions are set by the Algerian authorities, and the summaries we can check describe them as typically a rabies vaccination given between 30 days and 12 months before arrival, a health certificate from a licensed vet endorsed by the government veterinary service within about 14 days of travel, no import permit for a personal pet and no quarantine when the conditions are met, with entry through Algiers. We confirm every item with the Algerian side for your dates.
- A microchip, fitted before the rabies vaccination, as the return to Britain requires;
- A rabies vaccination, inside the Algerian window for the outward trip;
- The Algerian health certificate, issued by a vet and endorsed shortly before departure, with the vaccination record attached;
- For the return, a rabies blood sample taken at least 30 days after the vaccination, with an antibody level of at least 0.5 IU/ml, then a wait of three months from the sample date, and a Great Britain pet health certificate issued within 10 days of travel;
- For dogs only, a tapeworm treatment from a vet between 24 and 120 hours before arrival in Britain. A cat needs no treatment.
The three-month wait is the one to plan around, because it runs from the blood sample, so the test is done before the animal leaves Britain. GOV.UK also tells owners to use an approved travel route for the return and does not say how that applies to a private aircraft, so we confirm the entry point and the paperwork for the animal in writing before the flight. An animal that does not meet the rules can be placed in quarantine for up to four months at the owner's expense.
The dog's tapeworm treatment is booked with a vet in Algeria near the end of the stay. Requirements for ferrets, birds and anything less usual are collected on our flying with pets guide.

Empty Legs
An empty leg is a repositioning flight with nobody aboard, offered at a fraction of the usual price. Algeria produces them because so many trips are one-way by nature: a team flies in for a week of meetings, and the aircraft comes home or moves on.
Where Algerian empty legs come from
– Aircraft that take a delegation to Algiers, Oran or Constantine and fly back to Britain without passengers;
– Aircraft repositioning to Algiers ahead of the Eid holidays or the summer.
A client who can offer a few days has a far better chance of a match, though the operator owns the date. Whatever is free is listed on our empty legs page. Typical Algerian empty legs:
| Route | Aircraft | Capacity | Whole aircraft |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tunis - Algiers | Phenom 300E | 8 seats | £2,500 |
| Algiers - UK (London Biggin Hill) | Phenom 300E | 8 seats | £5,250 |
| UK (London Luton) - Algiers | Phenom 300E | 8 seats | £5,400 |
| Oran - UK (Farnborough) | Phenom 300E | 8 seats | £5,500 |
| Constantine - UK (London Luton) | Phenom 300E | 8 seats | £5,750 |
| UK (Manchester) - Algiers | Phenom 300E | 8 seats | £5,950 |
How to read those figures
– Each price is for the whole aircraft rather than per seat. A Phenom 300E from London Luton to Algiers at £5,400 with six aboard comes to about £900 a head.

Helicopter charter
In Algeria a helicopter is an industrial tool far more than an airport shuttle, and we know of no public charter base where a visitor can simply book a machine. Algiers Houari Boumediene lists a helipad of 72 by 26 metres, and local operators work with the energy companies. The times below are straight-line estimates:
along the coast, in place of a long mountain roadabout 55 min
from the capital to the east, in place of the roadabout 1 h 40 min
across the northern Sahara between the M'Zab valley and the oilfieldabout 1 h 15 min
Typical machines are the Airbus H125 and H130 for short transfers, and the H135 and the Bell 429 where a twin-engine helicopter is wanted. We book any helicopter alongside the jet, but only after a local operator and the authorities have agreed to the programme.
Before you plan around a helicopter
The Algerian authorities control where a helicopter may operate, and the travel advice names the borders as areas to avoid. We confirm the permission for every landing site and every overflown area before we quote. A hotel lawn or an oilfield pad is not a site until it has been approved.

Flights from the UK to Algeria
Biggin Hill, Farnborough, Luton and Stansted send most of the traffic on this corridor, with Southampton, Bristol, Birmingham and Manchester behind them and Scotland and Northern Ireland at the long end; the price table higher up covers thirteen of those pairings. Our clients have access to all airports of the UK and Europe. Due to the unique partnership conditions, we can offer our clients the best prices for business aviation services. Our experts will consult you on the availability of private jets in a particular city and help you choose the best option.

Algerian charters from the booking notes: six typical trips
Six typical jobs put together from booking notes with the particulars changed, so none describes one named client or date.
ALGIERS · FIXED DATES
An engineering team and a meeting week
Biggin Hill - Algiers, Phenom 300E, about 2 h 35 min · 4 pax
The meeting dates came from the host, so the permit request and the passport copies for the visas went in on the day of the booking.
HASSI MESSAOUD · THE FIELD VISIT
Project managers and engineers for an oilfield day
Farnborough - Hassi Messaoud, Phenom 300E, about 3 h 20 min · 5 pax
The host company arranged the site access, and we handled the fuel release. The aircraft waited on the ground.
ALGIERS · A FAMILY VISIT
Five relatives, luggage and an Eid reunion
London Luton - Algiers, Phenom 300E, about 2 h 40 min · 5 pax
Visas for every passenger took the longest, and the aircraft flew home empty and returned for the party ten days later.
TAMANRASSET · THE HOGGAR
Two couples and a guided week in the south
Farnborough - Tamanrasset, Praetor 600, about 4 h 40 min · 4 pax
The itinerary was read against the travel advice for the border strips before a quote was sent, and the insurance wording was checked line by line.
WITH THE DOG · THE LONG LEAD TIME
Two adults and a spaniel for a three-week stay
Biggin Hill - Algiers, Phenom 300E, about 2 h 35 min · 2 pax + dog
The paperwork began months before departure with the rabies blood sample, because Algeria is not a listed country. The tapeworm treatment was booked with a vet in Algiers for the end of the stay.
EMPTY LEG · A FLEXIBLE START
An Algiers departure with a window of three days
Manchester - Algiers, Phenom 300E empty leg, about 2 h 55 min · 4 pax
The client gave us a window instead of a date and paid about £5,950, well under half of a fresh one-way charter on the same sector.
Frequently asked questions about flying to Algeria
1How long does it take to fly to Algeria by private jet?
About 2 hours 35 minutes nonstop from Biggin Hill to Algiers Houari Boumediene on a Phenom 300E, and 3 hours 20 minutes from Edinburgh. Oran is about 2 hours 40 minutes, Constantine about 2 hours 40 minutes and Hassi Messaoud about 3 hours 20 minutes. Tamanrasset, in the far south, needs a larger aircraft and takes about 4 hours 40 minutes.
2How much does a private jet to Algeria cost?
From about £12,500 one way from Biggin Hill to Algiers on a Phenom 300E, the smallest aircraft we price for the nonstop run. Edinburgh costs about £3,600 more on the same aircraft. Oran starts from £13,150, Constantine from £13,200 and Hassi Messaoud from £16,350.
3Do British passengers need a visa for a private flight to Algeria?
Yes. A visa is required, and the passport must be valid for at least six months after arrival. The aircraft needs a landing permit and an overflight permit from the Algerian civil aviation authority, with an official lead time listed at 72 hours, and we start the request on the day of the booking.
4Is it safe to fly a private jet to Algeria?
The British government advises against all travel within 30 km of Algeria's borders with Libya, Mauritania, Mali and Niger, and in parts of the Tunisian border strip, and against all but essential travel in the rest of that strip. The airports on this page are not named in those strips. We read the itinerary against the advice and the insurance wording, and confirm the route, the permits and the cover in writing.
5Can I take my dog or cat to Algeria on a private jet?
Yes, in the cabin, but start early. Algerian entry conditions are typically a rabies vaccination given 30 days to 12 months before arrival and a veterinary health certificate endorsed shortly before travel, with entry through Algiers. For the return Algeria is not a listed country, so the animal needs a microchip fitted before the rabies vaccination, a blood test at least 30 days after it, a wait of three months from the blood sample, a Great Britain pet health certificate and, for dogs, a tapeworm treatment 24 to 120 hours before arrival.
