NBO CAI

Private jet charter from Nairobi to Cairo

The route from Nairobi (NBO) to Cairo (CAI) covers approximately 3,545 km, about 6h 24m nonstop by private jet.

We did not observe a regular nonstop pattern between Nairobi and Cairo over the last 12 months, so this sector is normally flown ad hoc. Departure-end activity is solid though: 857 business aircraft movements were tracked at Nairobi, around 71 a month.

Aircraft based at or passing through Nairobi are led by the Cessna Citation Sovereign and the Bombardier Challenger 600, with an average build year of 2005 — that is the pool a charter for this route is most likely to come from.

Departures from Nairobi are weekday-led (62% of movements Monday to Thursday) — the classic sign of a business field, where weekend positioning is often available at short notice.

Nairobi sits at 5,330 ft (1,625 m) above sea level. Thin air stretches the take-off run, so operators trim payload or fuel on warm days — one reason quotes from here read higher than the distance suggests.

The smallest cabin that covers 3,545 km without a fuel stop is the light jet at $2,500-4,500 an hour, and the type most often quoted here is the Bombardier Challenger 350. How the hourly rate turns into a total is set out in the private jet cost guide, and if the dates are loose it is worth checking empty leg flights on this direction first.
