Jeddah to Larnaca is 1,563 km and about 2 hours 23 minutes in the air, nonstop and comfortably inside midsize range. It is the longest of our Red Sea sectors and the one where the lead time is set by the ground arrangements rather than by the aeroplane. Larnaca is where our own operation sits, so northbound the aircraft is frequently finishing its day rather than beginning a positioning leg home. Whole aircraft from €10 700 one way, our own floor with the working shown. A written quotation inside 30 minutes; +357 95 119759 answers at any hour.
Two and a half hours from the Red Sea coast to the eastern Mediterranean, without a connection and without a terminal. Send the party, the dates and where you are going after Cyprus, and we will tell you what is genuinely available on those days rather than what we would like to offer.
REQUEST A QUOTEAt 1,563 km this is a sector a midsize cabin flies nonstop with margin left over, so nothing about the flying is a question. Two other things are. The first is lead time: on this corner of the map the permissions and ground arrangements, not the aircraft, set how early you need to come to us. The second is what the aeroplane does after it has left you at Larnaca – because on a sector of nearly two and a half hours, that movement is a real line in the bill rather than an afterthought, and northbound it is more often than not a short one.
One field at each end covers almost all of this traffic. The rows below it exist because trips of this shape frequently have a second leg attached, and the second leg is much cheaper planned now than discovered later.
| Field | Code | Role on this route | What decides it |
|---|---|---|---|
| Jeddah King Abdulaziz | JED / OEJN | Departure | Full handling with dedicated private facilities, and the field this sector is measured from. It is the gateway for the Red Sea coast and the western part of the kingdom, which is why most of this traffic starts here rather than inland. Ground arrangements are confirmed against your date rather than assumed, and on departures they are the item that sets the lead time. |
| Larnaca | LCA / LCLK | Arrival | The principal Cyprus field, handling business aviation at any hour. Nothing here is rationed the way island fields in the Aegean are, so there is no arrival window to negotiate and a late landing is unremarkable – which matters on a sector whose departure end can move. |
| Riyadh | RUH / OERK | The other Saudi start | The capital, roughly an hour and a half further on by air. It is a different sector rather than a variation on this one, so if the trip begins inland tell us that at the enquiry and we will price the whole itinerary instead of the leg you thought to ask about. |
| Sharm el-Sheikh | SSH / HESH | Across the Red Sea | A short sector west, and occasionally part of the same itinerary when the trip takes in both coasts. Worth naming early, because a stop changes the shape of the aircraft's day and therefore the quotation. |
| Paphos | PFO / LCPH | Alternative arrival | The western Cypriot field, closer to Limassol and the west coast, and quieter on the ground. It is about three quarters of an hour from Larnaca by road, so the address at the far end decides which one we quote rather than the map. |
Handling and slot conditions at both ends change from one season to the next. We confirm them against your actual dates rather than quoting a general rule at you.
Two hours and twenty minutes with a full cabin and real luggage sits squarely in the super-midsize class, and a midsize does it nonstop with margin. That means the aircraft conversation here is about how you want to spend the two hours rather than about whether the aeroplane can do it.
Super-midsize cabin with stand-up height and the range to fly this with the hold full. Our first proposal when the party is a working one and the two hours are meant to be useful.
Challenger 350 →Comparable reach with a notably quiet cabin, and frequently the aeroplane that is actually free when the Challenger is not. Name it in your enquiry and we will check both together.
Legacy 500 →Fast and long-legged for the class, which on a sector of this length shows up as real minutes rather than as a specification. Worth asking about when the day is tight at both ends.
Gulfstream G280 →From €10 700 one way. Indicative starting price for this route, rounded down. The date, the aircraft actually available and airport fees move it — tell us your dates and we confirm within 30 minutes.
No published price for this city pair has reached us from a source we would be willing to reprint, so the figure above is not somebody else's number and not a quotation. It is our own floor, and it is built from two inputs that do not change when the aeroplane turns round: the hours charged for a sector of this length, and the published entry rate for the cabin class. The arithmetic is in the table so that you can check it rather than believe it.
| Reference | Applies to | Published figure | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| Whole aircraft, this route | Jeddah to Larnaca | from €10 700 | Our own floor, not a quotation: 2.38 h charged (two-hour minimum applies) × 4 500 EUR/h, the published "from" rate for the cabin class (Eurosky, 19.02.2026), rounded down |
| Hourly rate, midsize jets | Europe | 4,600 – 9,700 EUR per hour | Broker published range, undated, retrieved 23.08.2026 |
| Hourly rate, from | Europe | from 2,900 – 3,500 EUR per hour | Broker published range, 19.02.2026 |
| Hourly rate, quoted in dollars | Light to midsize | 3,750 – 4,600 USD per hour | Broker published range, August 2026 |
| Empty leg | varies with the day | brokers publish discounts of 50 – 75% | Broker price pages, retrieved 2026 |
On a sector of this length the first question to put to any quotation, ours included, is where the aeroplane starts its day. One already in the eastern Mediterranean or on the Arabian peninsula prices very differently from one flown in empty to collect you, and that single item usually explains more of the gap between two quotations than the hourly rate does.
The second question is the return. If the aircraft waits for you it is one price; if it goes home and comes back it is another; and across four hours of flying in total the difference is not a rounding item. Send both dates in the first message, even provisionally, and we will cost the two shapes side by side rather than quote the outbound and surprise you later.
Every figure above except our own floor is a third-party published rate, reproduced so that you have something to test a quotation against. They are not our prices and they are not offers. The only price we stand behind is the written one against your dates.
Two calendars pull against each other on Cyprus-bound work: the European summer, when the whole region is busy, and the Cypriot winter, when the island keeps flying while much of Europe slows. Read the table as a booking calendar rather than as a forecast.
| Period | What happens | What to do about it |
|---|---|---|
| June to September | Peak in both directions. Handling and parking, rather than aeroplanes, are the constraint | Book early and ask about the ground arrangements at Jeddah in the same breath as the aircraft |
| October to April | Cyprus carries on while much of Europe quietens. Availability into Larnaca is good | The best months for genuine short notice, and the right time to ask what is already repositioning north |
| Easter and Christmas | Short, sharp peaks on either side of the holiday | Fix the dates early; the days immediately around the holiday go first |
| May and late September | Shoulder. Everything open, nothing full, softer pricing | The value weeks on this pairing and the ones to move flexible dates towards |
Whatever the month, the lead time on this sector is set by the ground rather than by the fleet. Give us the dates as soon as you have them and the rest of the conversation – aircraft, cabin, catering – can happen at leisure.
For a good deal of this traffic Cyprus is the changeover point into Europe rather than the destination. Whatever follows is simpler and usually cheaper arranged alongside this leg, because the aircraft's week gets planned once.
The onward sector asked for most often after an arrival from the Gulf, and one we publish separately. Booked together, the positioning is solved once for both legs.
Larnaca to London →Into Switzerland without a change of aeroplane or a scheduled connection at either end. Published, and quoted as part of the same itinerary rather than as a fresh enquiry.
Larnaca to Geneva →West into France when Cyprus is a stop rather than a stay. Worth raising at the first message so the cabin is sized for the longer leg as well as this one.
Larnaca to Paris →Tell us your dates and how many of you there are. Your dedicated flight advisor will come back with aircraft options and a firm price.
