Abidjan Dakar Private Jet, Approximately 1,800 km
Abidjan-Dakar by private jet, approximately 1,800 km
An Abidjan-Dakar private jet flight links ABJ with DSS, approximately 1,800 km apart in a straight line, calculated from ASECNA's published coordinates. For diary planning, allow an estimated 2 hours 30 minutes to 3 hours in the air, subject to the aircraft, winds and routing. Our Paris office arranges charter to or from both cities with the operator. Request a proposal for your Abidjan-Dakar flight, including the date and passenger count.
Which private jet should you consider for Abidjan-Dakar?
The approximately 1,800 km sector allows several categories to be assessed without relying on brochure range alone. The distance comes from a calculation between ASECNA's airport coordinates. We compare baggage, cabin requirements and available aircraft, then the operator confirms the performance and routing appropriate to the actual flight and load.
- Phenom 300: a light jet to assess for a small group and luggage compatible with the offered configuration.
- Challenger 350: a category to compare when cabin comfort and conversations on board influence the decision.
- Falcon 2000 EX/LX: a larger cabin to assess for the group or a longer onward programme.
These models help define the requirement. Their inclusion doesn't advertise an aircraft based locally. A one-way flight may require positioning, while a return after a meeting changes the comparison. We assess proposals for the actual dates rather than assuming the same aircraft is always available at either end.
Abidjan-Dakar pricing, compare the complete quotation
Light jets start at €4,000 per hour, super-midsize jets at €5,500 per hour and heavy jets at €6,500 per hour. These are category references; an Abidjan-Dakar quotation also accounts for positioning, local charges and waiting time. It cannot be obtained simply by multiplying a rate by the estimated flight time.
Our charter pricing by aircraft category helps put the request in context. For a useful comparison, specify one-way or return, schedule flexibility and luggage. The final amount depends on the aircraft actually available and the agreed programme. These details matter before comparing headline hourly figures.
Arranging this flight with IBC Aviation
The countries' formalities need separate preparation. The Ivorian ANAC guide dated 18 October 2023 specifies at least four working days for relevant submissions, while Senegal publishes ten days for a one-off commercial charter. Our Paris office coordinates checks with the operator to establish the applicable regime and prepare the applications.
Provide the meeting time and address alongside your preferred take-off time. We confirm ground handling, parking and passenger documentation. Have your one-way or return Dakar-Abidjan flight assessed: the direction of travel and any waiting time are considered together, rather than treated as separate details after the aircraft has been selected.
Two airports, different ground journeys
ASECNA's AIPs publish a 3,000 m runway at Abidjan and a 3,500 m runway at Dakar, with 24-hour customs and immigration services. These facilities don't guarantee flight permission or unrestricted aircraft capacity. Our teams confirm the mission arrangements and the passenger meeting point with the operator and ground handlers.
- Félix-Houphouët-Boigny, ABJ/DIAP: in Port-Bouët, approximately 13 km geographically from the city hall according to the Abidjan AIP. The transfer to Plateau depends on the address and traffic.
- Blaise Diagne, DSS/GOBD: in Diass, approximately 44 km geographically from Dakar according to the Dakar AIP. Tell us if the appointment is in Dakar, Diamniadio or on the Petite-Côte.
These distances aren't driving times. If the flight connects with an arrival from Europe, we also prepare the margin between the flights. Our Paris-Abidjan flight references can support the wider programme without establishing the regional departure time. The local arrangements still need their own confirmation.
Our Geneva office can also coordinate the sector: send us your programme between Abidjan and Dakar.

Frequently asked questions
What does an Abidjan-Dakar private jet cost?
Light jets start at €4,000 per hour and super-midsize jets at €5,500 per hour. The complete quotation depends on aircraft availability, positioning, local charges and any return flight. That hourly reference is not an Abidjan-Dakar package price and cannot simply be multiplied by the estimated time to obtain a fare.
How long is an Abidjan-Dakar private flight?
Allow an estimated 2 hours 30 minutes to 3 hours in the air. The airports are approximately 1,800 km apart in a straight line, calculated from their AIP coordinates. The operator confirms the time for the aircraft, winds and routing; transfers and formalities are additional to this flight-time reference.
Which airports are used between Abidjan and Dakar?
The assessment covers Félix-Houphouët-Boigny, ABJ/DIAP, and Blaise Diagne, DSS/GOBD. Their published runways measure 3,000 m and 3,500 m respectively. Aircraft selection remains subject to the operator’s performance calculation. We confirm handling and the passenger meeting point, followed by a transfer suited to the address of each appointment.
When should permissions for this flight be prepared?
Prepare both files in advance. The 2023 Ivorian ANAC guide specifies at least four working days within its scope, and the Senegalese text ten days for a one-off commercial charter. These are submission periods, not guaranteed approvals. We confirm the precise regime with the operator before committing to the flight.
Can I book a Dakar meeting immediately after landing?
Allow for formalities and the transfer. The AIP places DSS approximately 44 km geographically from Dakar without giving a driving time. The address and traffic affect the margin needed. Our teams prepare the ground arrangements for a meeting in Dakar, Diamniadio or on the Petite-Côte, without guaranteeing a road duration.
