BEST VALUE
Heavy
The Gulfstream G500 clears both runways and has range headroom on the 4,279 nm leg without stepping up into a larger, more expensive cabin — the lowest hourly cost that still handles this pair reliably.
Indicative all-in €80,700
FASTEST
Ultra Long Range
On 4,279 nm the Bombardier Global 5000 carries the highest cruise speed in the eligible short-list. The saving is roughly 25 minutes of block time against the smallest eligible class — worth it on a same-day return, marginal otherwise.
Indicative all-in €75,300

On Mahé → Amsterdam, aircraft positioning is the biggest lever on price today.
PRICE DRIVERS
Aircraft based off-route are repositioned to Mahé before pickup — the shorter that leg, the more competitive the quote.
If the aircraft can't pick up a return charter from Amsterdam, the empty repositioning leg is baked into your quote.
Landing, handling and ramp fees on SEZ–AMS are set field by field — SEZ and AMS each carry their own coordinated-airport surcharge profile.
On a 4,279 nm sector, jet-fuel price movements meaningfully change the quote — operators quote against a live fuel-uplift band.
Mahé → Amsterdam demand cycles pull the 4,279 nm sector off its low band on peak weeks.
Ramp capacity at AMS constrains the lift available for 4,279 nm inbounds from Mahé — operators quote accordingly.
Weather rarely re-prices SEZ–AMS beyond marginal fuel adjustments over 4,279 nm.
Slot coordination at AMS — peak-season Saturdays especially — forces earlier commitment on Mahé departures and raises handling on SEZ–AMS.
Ultra-long sectors trigger augmented crew requirements — an extra pilot's cost is reflected in the hourly rate.
Overnight parking at AMS is normally available and adds a defined ramp and handling fee to the SEZ–AMS quote.
SAVING OPPORTUNITIES
Saving levers on Mahé → Amsterdam
If the aircraft is already positioned closer to another Mahé-area field, using it reduces positioning cost and often trims 5–15% off the quote.
Alternative arrivals near AMS can trim handling and slot pressure on SEZ–AMS — see the airport comparison above.
SEZ ↔ AMS (4,279 nm) is a corridor we monitor for empty legs — set an alert and match one when your dates flex.
Departing 2–4 hours off the peak slot window at SEZ drops handling and slot fees on the 4,279 nm run to AMS.
A same-aircraft return on SEZ–AMS avoids the repositioning charge back to base — say so in the quote request.

Mahé → Amsterdam operational profile
Nonstop feasibility
Nonstop for heavy jets (Falcon 8X, Challenger 605/650 with light payload); a full cabin may want a Global 6000.
Typical flight level
FL410–FL450 over the 4,279 nm SEZ–AMS sector
Typical routing
Overland European upper routes — direct via UN airways with minimal detour.
Runway
9,800 ft (shorter of SEZ and AMS) clears heavy metal unrestricted.
Fuel stop likelihood
No fuel stop on 4,279 nm; SEZ–AMS is a single-sector mission for every class we quote.
Cabin service
Multi-course dining, sleep configuration and hot cabin service — full FA experience.
Best departure time
Mid-morning (10:00–12:00) departure from SEZ clears the weekday slot peak and lands AMS before midday handling pressure.

Full-charter one-way, desk quote
€64,300 – €82,700
Ultra Long Range through Heavy over 4,279 nm SEZ–AMS, all-in of landing, handling, crew and fuel surcharge. Weekend and peak-season departures out of SEZ sit at the upper end.
Price stand: August 2026. SEZ–AMS quotes move with fuel, crew duty and slot availability — we re-price at the point of booking.
SEZ–AMS supply — thin
SEZ — 1 archived movements (1 out / 0 in) from 1 operators. AMS — 56 archived movements (28 out / 28 in) from 14 operators. Most SEZ–AMS lift positions in, so expect a ferry element in the price and give us 48h+ where you can.
Positioning into Amsterdam (AMS)
When the based fleet is committed, the next SEZ–AMS lift comes from EHAM (0 nm, 8 aircraft), EHRD (24 nm, 2 aircraft), EHLE (29 nm, 6 aircraft). Those ferries add roughly 20–45 minutes of billed time, which is why identical requests can quote differently on the same day.
Amsterdam (AMS)
Charter movement in our archive concentrates in July and August (96% of 56 recorded legs), and falls away in September. For SEZ–AMS that means booking the peak weeks 2–3 weeks out: the based fleet sells out first, then ferried lift, then nothing, while September is where negotiation actually works.
Phenom 100 / Citation M2 and comparable light jets
At 4,279 nm this sector is beyond a comfortable light-jet leg with full seats and bags — you buy a fuel stop, and a stop costs more than the class saves. It is also the class where golf bags and ski gear stop fitting.
Empty Legs
Repositioning legs departing SEZ within 14 days, priced per aircraft for up to 19 seats.

Nonstop for heavy jets (Falcon 8X, Challenger 605/650 with light payload); a full cabin may want a Global 6000.
Bombardier Global 5000 is the honest answer — anything smaller risks a tech stop against wind or with full payload.
A ULR sector may need an augmented crew; confirm at booking.
Yes — King's Day in late Apr materially compresses aircraft availability; book 4–8 weeks ahead for that window.
