What it costs, cabin by cabin
Each figure is a one way estimate for the whole aircraft, not for a seat: flight time, positioning, landing and handling, permits and catering. It comes out of the same engine as the quote tool on this site, so the two never disagree.
| Cabin | Seats | Block time | Per seat | One way |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Light jetEntry cabin | 8 | 4 h 24 min | $3,500 | $28,000 |
| Midsize jet | 9 | 4 h 8 min | $4,300 | $39,000 |
| Super midsize jet | 10 | 3 h 53 min | $4,600 | $46,000 |
| Heavy jet | 12 | 3 h 49 min | $5,600 | $68,000 |
| Ultra long range | 16 | 3 h 45 min | $5,800 | $92,000 |
| Converted airliner | 25 | 3 h 58 min | $6,300 | $160,000 |
Likely range $25,000 to $33,000 across operators for the same mission in that cabin. The spread is wider than most brokers admit, and it moves with who already has an aircraft near Dubai.
Why the price does not follow the distance
On this route, positioning is 2 h 54 min of empty flying and about 29% of the bill. The aircraft has to reach Dubai and go home afterwards, and both legs are billed whether or not anyone names them.
An aircraft already sitting at Dubai makes most of that disappear. It is the one real reason to put several operators in competition on the same trip instead of calling one.

Questions about this route
- How much does a private jet from Dubai to Male cost?
- From $28,000 one way in a Light jet and up to $160,000 in a Converted airliner. The figure is all in: flight time, positioning, landing and handling, permits and catering. It assumes no aircraft is already in position, which is the usual case and the heaviest line after the flight itself.
- How long is the flight from Dubai to Male by private jet?
- 3 h 45 min of block time over 1,634 nautical miles in the fastest cabin, taxi, climb and approach included. Add a quarter of an hour on the ground at each end, against two to three hours on a scheduled flight.
- Which aircraft fly Dubai to Male nonstop?
- 78 types in our catalogue, from the Learjet 45XR up to the Airbus ACJ350 XWB. The Light jet is the smallest cabin that holds the distance once the regulatory reserve is kept.
- Is it the same price in the other direction?
- Yes. The distance is the same, the two airports are the same and the positioning assumption is symmetrical. What moves a real quote is the date, the passenger count and whether an aircraft is already on the field.
