Mumbai is India's financial capital and one of the busiest private jet markets in South Asia. Business leaders, film stars and wealthy families fly private from here to save time and stay out of sight.

This guide covers six companies that sell private jet services in Mumbai, what they offer and what to check before you book. Facts were checked in October 2026.

The Growing Popularity of Private Aviation in Mumbai

Private flying in Mumbai grew fast after COVID-19, when many first-time customers tried charter to avoid crowded terminals. A lot of them stayed.

The appeal is simple: no long security lines, personal service and your own schedule. For busy executives, the time saved often matters more than the comfort.

Mumbai's airport picture is also changing. Navi Mumbai International Airport opened to airline passengers on 25 December 2025. Its operator, Adani Airports, has said a dedicated private jet terminal and new hangars there were planned to open around September 2026. Ask your operator which Mumbai airport your flight will use.

Here are the six charter companies in this guide.

1. JetSetGo - India's Premium Aviation Marketplace

JetSetGo - India's Premium Aviation Marketplace

JetSetGo Aviation Services calls itself one of the largest private jet marketplaces in India. It is based in Delhi and lists offices in Mumbai, Bengaluru, Dubai and New York. It handles both domestic and international trips.

  • Charter, aircraft management, aircraft sales and consulting under one roof
  • Flight plans built around the client's schedule
  • Clear quotes before you book
  • Aircraft from turboprops and helicopters to large jets
  • Empty-leg deals through its JetSteals service

JetSetGo knows that for most clients, time is the real luxury. The goal is a calm, easy trip from door to door.

Its options run from 6 to 8 seat turboprops up to heavy jets for about 15 passengers, some with meeting areas and beds. The company also runs a DGCA-approved maintenance shop and helicopter services.

2. Club One Air - Veteran Luxury Charter Provider

  • Long experience with business and leisure trips
  • Trained crew and good in-flight service
  • Air ambulance flights for medical emergencies

Club One Air sells what it calls "The Ultimate Experience": safety, comfort, reliability and privacy. Many Mumbai executives and public figures choose it because it is quick, simple and discreet.

Ask to see current safety audit reports before you book, as these are renewed on a cycle.

3. Taj Air - The Hospitality Giant's Aviation Wing

Taj Air - The Hospitality Giant's Aviation Wing

Taj Air brings hotel-style hospitality into the cabin. The same care for small details that built the Taj hotels' name shapes its flights.

Its Mumbai base suits local clients flying within India or abroad. Its fleet has been built around Dassault Falcon 2000 jets, so check which aircraft is free for your dates.

4. Paramount Business Jets - Global Expertise in Mumbai

Paramount Business Jets - Global Expertise in Mumbai

Paramount Business Jets is a US-based charter broker. It arranges flights to and from Mumbai and says it has access to more than 4,000 aircraft worldwide. That global reach makes it a strong choice for international trips.

5. Airborne Private Jet - Mumbai's Specialized Charter Service

Airborne Private Jet - Mumbai's Specialized Charter Service

6. Blueheights Aviation - Customized Luxury Solutions

Blueheights Aviation - Customized Luxury Solutions

  • Flights for business teams, sports groups and government users
  • Cabin service and catering on request
  • Air ambulance flights

In October 2026 we could not confirm a current website or a Mumbai base for Blueheights. Ask for its DGCA permit, its fleet list and a written quote before you book.

Cost Considerations for Private Jet Charter in Mumbai

Charter prices in Mumbai vary a lot. If you fly often, it can help to compare charter with ownership (see how to finance a private jet). The main price factors are:

  • Aircraft type and size: Bigger, more luxurious aircraft cost more per hour
  • Flight time and distance: Longer flights cost more
  • Season and demand: Busy periods push prices up
  • Extras: Catering, ground transport and special requests add to the base price

Here is a rough pricing overview for private jet charter from Mumbai. These are ballpark figures, not quotes. Always ask for a written quote.

Aircraft Type Approximate Hourly Rate (INR) Typical Capacity Best For
Turboprop ₹1.15 to 1.5 lakh 6 to 8 passengers Short domestic flights
Light Jet ₹2 lakh and up 6 to 8 passengers Regional flights
Mid-size Jet ₹3 to 4 lakh 8 to 10 passengers Medium-range flights
Heavy Jet ₹4 to 8 lakh 10 to 15 passengers Long-range domestic/international
Ultra-Long Range ₹5.8+ lakh 13+ passengers International flights without stops

To save money, ask about "empty leg" flights. These are trips where a jet flies back empty after dropping off other clients. They are often sold well below the normal charter price, but the dates and routes are fixed.

Benefits of Choosing Private Jet Services in Mumbai

People in Mumbai fly private for more than luxury:

  6. Comfort: Travel without the stress of a busy airline flight. Cabins range from simple turboprops to flying homes like Drake's private plane
