Aircraft options and pricing

London to Zanzibar by class

7,415 km is inside the range of both heavy and ultra-long-range aircraft. An ultra-long-range G650ER or Global 7500 flies it direct in about 9h and returns without a fuel stop. Heavy jets (Falcon 8X, Challenger 650) can fly it direct on cool days with a light payload but typically require a Cairo, Dubai or Nairobi tech stop for reserves, which adds 45 to 60 minutes. Midsize and super-midsize aircraft are not offered direct on this sector.

FAQ

Common questions on this route

How long is the flight from London to Zanzibar by private jet?
About 9h direct on the recommended ultra-long-range (Global 7500). Faster aircraft cut 15 to 30 minutes off the block time. The recommended aircraft covers the sector with comfortable reserves in both directions.
What does London to Zanzibar cost?
The recommended ultra-long-range runs $122,000 to $168,000 one-way. Cheaper aircraft classes start at $88,000. Ultra-long-range and large-cabin options reach $168,000 when the trip continues onward or the group needs sleeping configuration.
Can we fly London to Zanzibar nonstop?
Yes on the recommended ultra-long-range and larger. Smaller aircraft require a fuel stop. The great-circle distance is 7,415 km.
Which London airport is better for this route?
For the outbound to Zanzibar, either works. LTN has the deeper business-aviation FBO presence and shorter turnaround times, so it is the default for a full-fuel departure. FAB is chosen when the passenger transfer is shorter from that side of the city.
How do we get from ZNZ to the resort?
Hotel cars stage at planeside for immediate transfer. Nungwi and Kendwa on the north coast are 60 to 75 minutes by road. Matemwe on the northeast is 60 minutes. Stone Town is 20 minutes. Helicopter transfer is available for a premium via ZanAir if traffic or arrival time makes ground transfer inefficient.
