Bali to Lombok Private Jet Charter (DPS → LOP)
**A Bali to Lombok private jet is one of the shortest premium hops in Southeast Asia — roughly 25 to 40 minutes of block time from Ngurah Rai (DPS) to Lombok (LOP). Because the leg is so short, a turboprop or light jet almost always wins on value; heavy metal adds cost, not speed. Indicative charter pricing runs from around USD 3,500 to USD 9,000 one-way as of 2026, subject to aircraft, timing, and availability.**
Dewata Jets is operated by Bali Premium Trip as an independent charter concierge. We arrange this hop on demand through vetted, licensed AOC operators — we do not own aircraft or hold an AOC. Every figure below is dated to 2026, indicative, and confirmed only on a live quote.
Why fly private from Bali to Lombok instead of the ferry or a scheduled seat?
The commercial reality: the DPS–LOP corridor is a quick water crossing east across the Lombok Strait. On a fast boat plus transfers, you can lose half a day to Padang Bai, harbour queues, and road time to your resort. A private charter compresses the airport-to-airport portion to well under 45 minutes and lets you depart on your schedule, not the airline’s.
This page covers the pure island hop into Lombok International Airport (LOP) in Praya, southern Lombok. It is distinct from the longer Bali to Labuan Bajo (Komodo) run — a different aircraft-class conversation entirely, which we cover on our [Bali to Labuan Bajo private jet](/bali-to-labuan-bajo-private-jet/) page. If you are still planning your arrival into Bali first, start with the [Denpasar (DPS) private jet](/denpasar-private-jet/) hub.
Three honest reasons travelers book this leg private:
- Time. You gain back most of a day versus surface transfer, especially if your villa sits near the Gili Islands or south-coast Kuta Mandalika.
- Connection. Arriving HNW guests often land at DPS on a long-haul charter, then want a same-day onward hop without re-clearing a public terminal queue.
- Group logistics. Four to eight travelers with luggage, golf bags, or dive gear move far more simply on a single dedicated aircraft.
Which aircraft suits a 25 to 40 minute hop?
For a leg this short, the aircraft-class math is blunt: a turboprop or light jet does the job efficiently, and paying for a super-midsize or heavy jet buys you cabin comfort, not meaningful time. According to Bali-focused broker pricing as of 2026, hourly rates start near USD 2,000/hour for a turboprop and around USD 5,000/hour for a light jet, which is why the short DPS–LOP block time keeps total cost contained.
Because block time is so brief, most operators apply minimum flight-time or minimum daily charges — so the quoted one-way rarely scales down to “40 minutes of fuel.” Expect the minimum to be the driver on the shortest hops.
Bali to Lombok: aircraft vs block time (indicative, as of 2026)
| Aircraft class | Typical seats | Est. block time DPS → LOP | Indicative one-way (USD)* | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Turboprop (e.g. King Air) | 6–8 | 30–40 min | 3,500–5,500 | Best value; short-hop workhorse |
| Light jet (e.g. Citation, Learjet) | 5–7 | 25–35 min | 5,000–7,500 | Fastest small-cabin option |
| Midsize jet (e.g. Hawker, Legacy) | 7–9 | 25–35 min | 7,000–9,000 | Larger group, standing cabin |
| Super-midsize / heavy | 8–14 | 25–35 min | On request | Overkill for the hop; comfort only |

A note on honesty: the block times above are estimates for planning, not a published DPS–LOP schedule. There is no fixed private timetable on this corridor — every flight is arranged on demand.
What arrival options exist once you land at LOP?
Lombok International (LOP) sits in Praya, in the island’s south, roughly 30 to 45 minutes by road from the Kuta Mandalika resort strip and its surf and golf developments. For the Gili Islands (Gili Trawangan, Meno, Air) and the northwest Senggigi coast, plan on a longer combined transfer: road to a harbour such as Bangsal or a private jetty, then a speedboat crossing. Many luxury resorts arrange a seamless car-plus-boat handoff on request.
Two practical arrival paths guests choose:
- South Lombok / Mandalika: land LOP, short road transfer to Kuta, Selong Belanak, or the Mandalika resorts. Cleanest option if your stay is on the south coast.
- Gili Islands / Senggigi: land LOP, drive north-west, then a speedboat to the Gilis. Longer total door-to-door time — but still far quicker and more private than the full Bali-side ferry route.
We coordinate the LOP ground handling and onward transfer as part of the arrangement, so the aircraft, the car, and the boat are sequenced rather than left to chance.
How does booking a Bali to Lombok private jet work?
The process is deliberately simple. Here is the sequence when you contact the Bali Premium Trip concierge:
- Share the brief. Message us your date, passenger count, luggage, preferred DPS departure window, and your Lombok endpoint (Mandalika, Senggigi, or a specific Gili island). This lets us size the aircraft correctly the first time.
- Receive matched options. We return aircraft options from vetted, licensed AOC operators — typically a turboprop and a light-jet quote for this hop — with indicative pricing, block time, and cabin details, all dated and clearly marked as subject to final confirmation.
- Confirm and pay. Once you select, the operator confirms slot availability at DPS and LOP, issues the charter agreement, and payment terms are set. We flag any date-specific issues (see seasonality below) before you commit.
- Fly and connect. On the day, VIP handling is arranged at DPS’s general-aviation channel where available; you land at LOP and step straight into your pre-sequenced car or car-plus-boat transfer.
Because this is a short-notice-friendly hop, empty-leg or repositioning aircraft occasionally open up at sharper pricing — ask us to flag any empty-leg inventory that lines up with your dates.
What should you know about timing and season?
A few honest planning notes, all dated to 2026 and subject to change:
- Wet-season weather. Bali and Lombok share a dry and a wet/monsoon season. Wet-season tropical thunderstorms can affect scheduling on any given afternoon, so a morning departure often carries less delay risk in those months.
- Peak windows. Christmas/New Year and the Lebaran holiday period push charter demand and pricing up and lengthen recommended lead times. Charter demand reportedly rose about 20% in an early-2022 Lebaran window, according to segment reporting — so book early around those dates.
- Nyepi. The Balinese Day of Silence (Nyepi) is associated with airport closure in Bali. If your travel touches that date, the DPS departure side may be unavailable — flag your dates with us early so we can plan around it.
- Lead time. For this short hop, days rather than weeks is often workable off-peak; in peak season, give us as much notice as possible to secure the right aircraft and slots.
