Aircraft to compare

Light jet: Phenom 300 or Citation CJ3+. This is a starting category for a small party with a modest baggage load. Also compare a midsize jet if the group needs a larger cabin or additional baggage capacity; it will usually increase the flight-hour budget. Give the operator the passenger count, suitcase dimensions and any sporting equipment before choosing the aircraft.

The recommended category is a starting point for this distance and passenger assumption. The operator should confirm payload, runway performance, range, fuel-stop requirements, cabin configuration and availability for the actual date.

What to budget

USD $3,500–$4,500 flight-time illustration

For Nairobi to Entebbe, applying the published light jet hourly benchmark to approximately 1.0 modelled flight hours gives USD $3,500–$4,500 flight-time illustration. This covers a flight-time cost component, not an all-inclusive charter quote. Positioning, minimum billable hours, handling, parking, taxes and crew travel can materially increase the total. The benchmark is in US dollars and is not a locally obtained quote; regional aircraft supply can produce a different price. Request a dated proposal showing the aircraft, all sectors and total payable for the whole party.
