The Papeete – Cannes route is among the most requested by the private operators in our international network. Faa'a International is correspondances privées vers Bora Bora, which allows an aircraft to be positioned quickly whenever a slot frees up.
With 16,383 km of great-circle distance, the route naturally falls into the vip airliner category: here a Boeing BBJ 737 MAX 8, 19 h 14 of flying, 19 seats in club configuration.
Demand is not linear: trade shows, holiday periods and major sporting events concentrate movements and make slots scarce. Conversely, mid-week lulls multiply empty return flights. It is precisely in these windows that the best quotes appear on this route.
An empty leg is the repositioning of an aircraft after a mission. The operator already bears the fuel cost, crew and fees: reselling the segment at €321,900 rather than flying it empty remains rational for them. The trade-off is simple: the time window is narrow and the offer disappears as soon as a full charter is confirmed on the same aircraft.
This segment is advertised for departure within 72 h. On a route such as Papeete – Cannes, the average lifespan of a repositioning offer is measured in hours, not days. A request submitted before midday typically receives an operator confirmation the same day, subject to crew availability and slot allocation.
The Boeing BBJ 737 MAX 8 generally accepts cabin and hold luggage for all 19 seats, within limits specific to each airframe. Ski equipment, golf clubs, fragile instruments or pets in the cabin: mention it in your request, and the operator will confirm feasibility before any firm booking.
Departure takes place from the Faa'a International FBO: vehicle parking at the foot of the aircraft, document checks within minutes, a private lounge for accompanying guests. At Cannes, Cannes-Mandelieu follows the same approach. Allow twenty minutes before block time; luggage is loaded into the hold while you're already on board.
The current offer shows €321,900 for the whole aircraft (Boeing BBJ 737 MAX 8). The final rate depends on the date, the aircraft actually available and local taxes.
About 19 h 14 of block time for 16,383 km, excluding taxi delays. Add around twenty minutes of departure formalities and five to ten minutes on arrival.
Technically, a departure can be arranged in four to six hours if an aircraft and crew are available. In practice, confirming twenty-four hours ahead secures slots at Papeete and Cannes much more reliably.
For the whole aircraft. The 19 seats of the Boeing BBJ 737 MAX 8 are included in the stated amount: the cost per passenger falls automatically as more travellers board.
