For Nigerian travellers who fly the London and Gulf corridors constantly, chartering from Lagos is less about luxury and more about arithmetic: your schedule, no connections, and the private terminal instead of the hall. Here's how it works and what it costs.
The two corridors
Lagos → London — around 6h 45m nonstop on ultra-long-range aircraft (Global, Gulfstream class), typically from £75,000 one-way as a market guide, landing Farnborough or Luton with fast-track on both ends. Lagos → Dubai — about 7h 15m nonstop, from around £70,000, straight into the winter season. No Addis, no Doha, no second boarding.
The Lagos side
Departures run from the private wing at Murtala Muhammed — arrive shortly before wheels-up, luggage handled, no queue. We arrange ground on both ends and, for London, the night itself: tables, restaurants and the week's diary through one concierge. See what that looks like on our Nigeria page.
What moves the price
Aircraft availability in West Africa is the main factor — fewer ULR aircraft are based in Lagos than in London, so positioning drives quotes. Booking early, and flexibility of a day either side, materially improves the number. Group size barely moves it: thirteen passengers cost roughly the same as three, which is why families and entourages fly this way.
Paying from Nigeria
Card (Visa, Mastercard), UK bank transfer or crypto (BTC, USDT) — whichever is easiest. The quote is fixed and all-in before you commit; see our payment policy. The full route list and fleet guide: private jet routes; how charter pricing works generally: cost by route.
