Dubai to Riyadh by class

At 865 km this sits inside light-jet range with room to spare, and a CJ3+ or Phenom 300E flies it in about 80 minutes. Parties of five or more, or anyone working through documents on the way, tend to move up to a Latitude or Praetor 500 for the stand-up cabin, which is why we quote both as standard on this corridor.

FAQ

Common questions on this route

How long is the flight from Dubai to Riyadh by private jet?
About 1h 20m block on a light jet, and roughly 1h 10m on heavy metal.
What does Dubai to Riyadh cost?
Light jets run $13,000-18,000 one-way. Midsize aircraft, the more common choice for business parties, are $18,000-25,000.
Do I need a visa for Saudi Arabia on a private flight?

Which Riyadh airport do private jets use?
King Khalid International (RUH), through the Private Aviation Terminal on the north side of the field.
Can I fly Dubai to Riyadh and back the same day?
Yes. At 80 minutes each way it is a standard out-and-back, with the aircraft holding on the ground at RUH between legs.
