Private jet charter in Senegal

A business jet bound for Dakar lands 43 kilometres from the city it serves, and that gap, more than the six hours or so in the air, shapes a charter to Senegal. The sector from Biggin Hill is 2,445 nautical miles, which an Embraer Praetor 600 flies without a stop; lighter jets break the journey in the Canaries. Private Jets UK plans Senegal charters around the same short list of questions each time: which aircraft has the range, how long the permit takes, which handler meets the aircraft at Blaise Diagne, and whether the programme stays in Dakar or reaches the coast and the south. 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 Senegal that means the overflight and landing authorisation, a handler named before the aircraft leaves Britain, a car waiting at the steps and, where the programme calls for it, a local operator for the sectors inside the country.

 

 

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 Senegal 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 Praetor 600 to Dakar Blaise Diagne, nonstop, 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 Senegal?

Senegal keeps Greenwich Mean Time all year and does not change its clocks. On landing, the local time matches Britain in winter and runs one hour behind it from spring to autumn. These are the sectors to Dakar on a Praetor 600, gate to gate:

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 Senegal

Typical private jet charter prices from Britain to Dakar, listed cheapest first. The entry price is Biggin Hill to Blaise Diagne on a Praetor 600, the smallest class that crosses without a stop. The other rows show the aircraft we would usually propose from that airfield, a Praetor where it is the natural choice and a larger cabin for parties who want more room:

 

 

Private jet flights within Senegal and to its neighbours

Senegal is built around one capital. Saint-Louis is only 94 nautical miles from Blaise Diagne in a straight line, Ziguinchor and Cap Skirring 141 and 143, and The Gambia lies between Dakar and the Casamance. These are the sectors we are asked for:

Business aviation airports in Senegal

Senegal has one airport that takes international business traffic every day, and five other fields that matter for particular errands. Dakar Blaise Diagne is the gateway for almost every charter from Britain:

 

The distance matters more than it looks on a map. A handler guide puts the drive to downtown Dakar at about an hour, and the Foreign Office notes that protesters sometimes block major roads, including the one between the airport and Dakar. We book the car through the handler or the hotel and add a margin to every meeting that depends on the road.

Four points settle most Senegalese arrivals before a quote goes out:

 

Arriving from Britain: passport, yellow fever and the Foreign Office advice

A British passport is enough for a stay of up to three months, with conditions. The passport, the health papers and the authorisation for the aircraft are three separate things, and each has its own checks.

 

 

Which airport for which part of Senegal

The airport follows the errand, and for most errands it is Blaise Diagne. These are the usual pairings:

 

Dakar and the coast: what our clients go for

Business decides most trips. Dakar is the capital, a major port and a transport hub for the region, and it also serves landlocked Mali. Fishing is a major earner of foreign exchange, phosphates have long been exported, and oil and gas have joined the list. The Plateau is the administrative and commercial heart of the city, and delegations usually pair a day there with a call at the Almadies, on the western tip of the peninsula.

Culture is the second reason to come. The Museum of Black Civilisations and the African Renaissance Monument stand in the capital, and Goree Island is a short crossing away. The coast and the south are the leisure side: Saly for a week by the sea, the Saloum Delta for boat days among the mangroves, and Cap Skirring in the Casamance, a beach resort with a golf course that Europeans have visited for decades.

 

The Senegalese year: the dry months, the harmattan and the rains

Senegal has one dry season and one rainy season, and the difference is large. Dakar sits on the coast, where the sea keeps temperatures lower than inland:

 

The Senegalese calendar: the pink lake, jazz, the biennale and the Magal

Dates for cultural events move, and the organisers' announcements are checked before a booking. These are the ones that pull on a flight plan:

 

 

Flying to Senegal with a dog or a cat

A pet can travel in the cabin, but the papers for Senegal take weeks and the way home falls under the stricter British rules. Senegal wants a permit before the animal leaves.

• An ISO-standard microchip, typically required and fitted before the rabies vaccination;
• A health certificate from a British vet, dated inside the window the permit sets, with the rabies certificate attached;
• Presentation at the airport the permit names. Third-party guides name the old Dakar airport as the entry point for animals, so we confirm in writing which airport receives your animal.

Coming home, a pet from a country outside the simple British scheme, as we understand Senegal to be, needs a microchip fitted before the rabies vaccination, then a rabies blood test taken at least 30 days after the vaccination, and a wait of three months from the date of the sample before the animal travels. The wait is not required if the animal was vaccinated, blood-tested and given a British health certificate or an EU pet passport before it left for the country, which is why we ask owners to do the tests before the outward flight. A dog must also be treated against tapeworm by a vet no less than 24 hours and no more than 120 hours before landing in Britain. No more than five animals may travel with one person, and an animal that arrives without the right paperwork can be held in quarantine for up to four months.

We confirm in writing which entry point will receive the animal and which papers are needed. Requirements for birds, rabbits and the less usual species are set out in 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. On a sector of nearly six hours the saving is large in absolute terms.

A client who can offer a few days has a better chance of a match. Whatever is free is listed on our empty legs page. A selection of Senegalese empty legs follows:

 

 

 

Helicopter charter

Helicopters in Senegal are a short-range tool, and the operator depends on the date. We found no helicopter operator at Blaise Diagne that we can name and verify, so we confirm the machine, the crew and each landing site when the request comes in. These are the transfers that come up:

The times are straight-line estimates at a cruise of about 115 knots, and daylight is the limit. A helicopter carrying passengers between two Senegalese places is normally a Senegalese one, and a landing away from an airport needs the site agreed in advance.

 

 

Flights from the UK to Senegal

Biggin Hill and Farnborough are the south-east business aviation airfields best suited to a long sector, with Luton, Gatwick, Stansted and London City as the other London options, and Southampton, Exeter, Bristol and Birmingham further out. Manchester is 78 nautical miles further from Dakar than Biggin Hill, which adds about £1,150 on a Praetor 600. The table below lists the British airports we work with:
