Private jet charter in Mauritius

From a London airfield Mauritius is about 11 hours 40 minutes away in a long-range jet that does not stop and about 14 hours 40 minutes in a super-midsize one, and that gap, a fuel stop in the Gulf, decides the aircraft, the price and the hour you arrive. 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 Mauritius that means a landing permit and overflight clearances for every state on the route, a place for the aircraft at the private terminal in Plaine Magnien, a handler named before departure, and a plan for the last 30 to 50 kilometres to the hotel, which on this island is a car, a boat or a helicopter.

 

 

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 Mauritius 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 London Stansted, an Embraer Praetor 600 flying to Mauritius with one technical stop in Dubai 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 Mauritius?

Mauritius keeps UTC+4 all year, which makes it four hours ahead of London in winter and three hours ahead while Britain is on summer time. An evening departure therefore lands the next day, around lunchtime in a long-range jet that does not stop and in the afternoon in an aircraft that does. These are the sectors, gate to gate, from the airfields our clients use most. The first list is the Praetor 600 with its hour on the ground in Dubai:

The same journeys without the stop need an aircraft that can cross the Indian Ocean in one go. Sectors on a Global 6000, nonstop:

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.

 

 

Prices for the private jet flights to Mauritius

Typical private jet charter prices from Britain to Mauritius, listed cheapest first. Every row is a Praetor 600 with its stop in Dubai, the smallest aircraft we price for this run. London City is left out on purpose, because its short runway is a poor start for a sector of this length:

 

 

For a larger cabin, a longer wait on the island or a wish to skip the stop, the same departure on bigger aircraft looks like this. The jets that fly the sector nonstop are priced from London Stansted too:

 

 

Private jet flights within Mauritius and to its neighbours

Mauritius has one international airport and, for practical purposes, no domestic network for a jet: the main island covers less than 1,900 square kilometres. The useful sectors are the ones that leave it, to Rodrigues, Réunion, the Seychelles, Madagascar and the African mainland. These sectors start at Mauritius, and Dubai is included as the first stop on the way home:

Business aviation airports in Mauritius

One airport does all the work, and the useful questions are about what happens on the ground there and what stands on either side of the flight:

 

Plaine Magnien has a runway long enough for any business jet. Private aircraft use a separate apron and terminal. The private terminal is run by Jet Prime, part of the Airport Holdings group and, according to a trade magazine, the only member of the Air Elite network in the Indian Ocean. It offers ground handling, hangar space, flight planning, overflight and landing clearances and full onboard catering. Immigration, customs and health formalities are completed inside the lounge. An older trade article describes the general aviation terminal of the time with a hangar of about 2,000 square metres, big enough for two Global Express or four Falcon 900 aircraft, and names Air Mauritius as the main ground handler. We name the handler we use in the quote.

Records say private and business jets need no slot at the airport, and a handler that offers airport slot arrangement lists it as an optional extra. We still confirm parking and the stand for the dates in writing. Jet A1 and Avgas are listed, with three fuel suppliers named in the older article, and international fuel cards are accepted.

Rodrigues is for turboprops and light jets. An older trade article says its runway cannot take airliners or large business jets, and we plan it only for the smaller aircraft.

Four points settle most arrivals before a quote goes out:

 

Arriving from Britain: passports, the travel form and customs

Mauritius is far outside Schengen and asks nothing as heavy as a visa from a British visitor. These are the points that decide whether the party passes through in minutes:

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, and British and Irish citizens need no electronic travel authorisation. Most other nationalities do.

 

 

Which part of the island, and how to get there from the apron

Mauritius has one airport and a coastline all the way round it, so the useful question is where the party sleeps and how far that is from Plaine Magnien, which stands in the south-east:

 

Resorts, golf and the Indian Ocean loop: what our clients go for

Most of the traffic is leisure, and the choice of coast follows the season, the wind and the budget. The east coast suits watersports in summer, the south and east can be windy in winter, and the north and west are more sheltered then and hotter and more humid in summer. The jet lands at Plaine Magnien, and a car or a helicopter takes the party to the coast.

Golf and the sea come next. Professional tournaments are played on the island's courses in November and December, diving is rated best from November to April and deep-sea fishing from October to April, and the dates of the trip follow them.

The third reason is the loop. Mauritius sits in the south-west Indian Ocean, a short hop from Réunion, a few hours from the Seychelles and Madagascar and not much further from the African mainland, and clients combine two or three of them in one charter. A week on Mauritius, a week in the Seychelles and the flight home from there can run on one aircraft and one crew. Business is the smaller share, and mostly a short visit to Port Louis.

 

Cyclone season and the dry winter

Mauritius has two seasons and a gap of only about four degrees between them. What changes is humidity, wind and the risk of a storm:

 

The Mauritian calendar: festivals, golf and Christmas

A handful of dates shape the demand for rooms and aircraft:

 

 

Flying to Mauritius with a dog or a cat

Mauritius is a demanding destination for a pet, and the difficulty is on the way in, not on the way home. The island asks for an import permit, a rabies antibody test, extra blood tests for a dog and a stay in quarantine, so the paperwork starts months before the flight and the aircraft is the easy part.

• A microchip of the ISO type, fitted before the rabies vaccination, which the return to Britain also requires;
• A rabies vaccination and an antibody test, with the result and the date recorded; the windows quoted in the sources differ, so we work from the permit;
• The Mauritian import permit and the Great Britain export health certificate, completed by an Official Veterinarian shortly before departure; the certificate we found on GOV.UK for dogs is valid for 7 days;
• For dogs only, a tapeworm treatment from a vet between 24 and 120 hours before arrival in Britain. A cat needs no treatment.

The return is the simple half. The British government places Mauritius on its list of Part 2 countries, so no blood test is needed. A pet travels on a Great Britain pet health certificate, not a pet passport, issued by a vet in Mauritius within the 10 days before arrival, and needs a microchip fitted before or at the same time as the rabies vaccination, at least 21 days since the primary vaccination and an approved route. GOV.UK does not say how the route rule 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.

Quarantine on arrival does not suit a short stay, and many owners decide to leave the pet at home. 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. The distance makes Mauritius a place where one-way trips are normal: a family flies out for a fortnight, and the aircraft either waits or goes home.

A client who can offer a few days has a far better chance of a match, though a leg can disappear when the original booking changes. Whatever is free is listed on our empty legs page. Typical empty legs to and from Mauritius:

 

 

 

Helicopter charter

Helicopters on Mauritius do one job well: they shorten the last leg from the airport to a resort. We do not publish a standing helicopter service for the island, because the machine, the crew and the landing site come from local operators and are confirmed for the date. The times below are straight-line planning estimates from the airport at Plaine Magnien:

A resort on the east coast with its own helipad quotes 15 to 20 minutes from the airport, which fits those figures. Another resort's price list for the same transfer shows a small helicopter and a price per flight, in the tens of thousands of Mauritian rupees one way, so party size and baggage decide the machine and the cost. We book the helicopter alongside the jet, so the whole itinerary is quoted as one.

 

 

Flights from the UK to Mauritius

Stansted, Biggin Hill, Farnborough and Luton send most of the traffic on this corridor, with Southampton, Birmingham and Manchester behind them and Scotland and Northern Ireland at the long end; the price table higher up covers thirteen of those pairings.
