What counts as an 8 seater private jet
The Cessna Citation XLS, Embraer Phenom 300, Cessna Citation Sovereign and Cessna Citation CJ2 are the 8-seat jets you will most often be offered in Germany. Jets like these cost about €4,900 to €9,650 per flight hour to charter, depending on size, and from about $2.5 million to buy.
These are typical passenger seats for each model, not the certified maximum. Pilots and cabin crew sit separately.
16 models on Germany's LBA list of licensed air carriers seat 8 passengers; together they make up 101 aircraft.
Seats are not the only limit. Bags, fuel and runway length all count: a full 8-seat cabin on a long or hot-weather leg may need a fuel stop. If your group fills every seat, look at a 10 seater private jet.
Charter is priced for the whole aircraft by the flight hour: about €8,730 to €9,650 for a midsize jet in Germany. Tell us the route and we confirm an aircraft and price from licensed operators in Germany.

To charter, you pay by the flight hour, not for the seats: about €4,900 to €16,490 per hour for jets like these in Germany, depending on size, before aviation tax and any VAT, positioning and airport charges. An empty seat costs the same as a full one, so price the trip for the whole aircraft.
