Private jet routes / Mauritius to Cape Town
Empty-leg private flights Mauritius to Cape Town. When an operator repositions this route, the whole aircraft goes for a fraction of a booked charter.
Empty legs we have carried on this route went for €46,000 to €47,500 for the whole aircraft. A scheduled charter over the same distance usually costs several times that, because you are paying for the aircraft to fly out and back.
About 5h 42m in the air, over 4.1k km. Private terminals add far less time on the ground than an airline departure, so door to door is usually shorter again.
Most often a Bombardier Challenger 350. The aircraft is set by whichever operator is repositioning, so it changes from flight to flight; every listing names the type.
We have listed 2 on Mauritius to Cape Town so far, and 1 are on the board right now. Empty legs appear at short notice, so a route alert is the reliable way to catch one.
