Ground handling for a private jet at Bali (DPS/WADD) runs USD 800–2,500 per movement at market rates as of August 2026, plus statutory charges — landing at USD 3.64 per tonne MTOW up to 40 tonnes, IDR 200,000 passenger service charge per international passenger, and a USD 37 movement fee. Complete light-jet arrivals total USD 2,500–5,000; heavy jets USD 6,000–12,000.
Most DPS quotes arrive as one lump sum. Your bill actually has two layers: statutory airport charges published by state-owned operator Angkasa Pura I, and commercial service fees negotiated per movement. This page separates them so you can see what is fixed and what is markup. All figures are as of August 2026 and subject to change; market bands are quote-based, never official tariffs.
One line is not optional: Indonesia requires ground handling for every foreign-registered jet at all its airports, a rule confirmed in 2025. At Bali’s I Gusti Ngurah Rai International Airport (IATA DPS, ICAO WADD, in Tuban, Kuta, Badung Regency), that handling runs through the general aviation terminal ExecuJet has operated since November 2022, on a dedicated GA apron holding roughly 14 aircraft.
What Are the Official Airport Charges at DPS?
These are the published, non-negotiable charges. Per the published DPS charge schedule, as of August 2026:
| Charge | Rate | Applies to |
|---|---|---|
| International landing | USD 3.64 per tonne MTOW | Aircraft up to 40 t |
| International landing, 41–100 t | USD 145.60 + USD 4.19 per tonne over 41 t | Midsize to heavy jets |
| International landing, over 100 t | USD 397.00 + USD 4.72 per tonne over 100 t | VIP airliners |
| Domestic landing | IDR 4,581 per tonne | Aircraft up to 40 t |
| Passenger service charge | IDR 200,000 international / IDR 75,000 domestic | Per passenger |
| Movement charge | USD 37 (0–100 t) / USD 93 (100–200 t) / USD 155 (200–300 t) / USD 175 (above 300 t) | Per movement |
For scale: a Phenom 300 at roughly 8.4 t MTOW pays about USD 31 to land internationally. A Gulfstream G650 at 45.2 t pays around USD 163. Even a VIP airliner stays in the hundreds. The statutory layer is almost never the expensive part of a Bali arrival.
Fuel sits between the two layers. According to the Logistics Capacity Assessment, jet fuel at DPS prices at USD 0.907 per litre for international operations, USD 1.00 domestic, and USD 530.36 per 200-litre drum. A 4,000-litre uplift is therefore roughly USD 3,630 — often the single largest line on the invoice.
What Do Handling and Arrival Services Cost at Market Rates?
Everything below is commercial — market bands observed as of August 2026, moving with aircraft size, season, and scope:
| Service | Market band (as of August 2026) |
|---|---|
| FBO/GA ground handling | USD 800–2,500 per movement, by aircraft size |
| CIQ (customs, immigration, quarantine) handling | USD 150–400 per arrival |
| GA arrival or departure concierge | From USD 400 per movement — greeters, porters, CIQ coordination, escort to vehicle |
| Chauffeured transfer, airport to villa | From USD 150 (Alphard or V-Class, ramp-side access subject to handler approval); other listings from USD 80 (Alphard) and USD 140 (S-Class) per route |
| Crew accommodation and logistics | USD 150 per day management fee; hotels and transport at cost |
| Helicopter connection coordination | USD 200 service fee; charter billed separately by the licensed operator |
Passenger-side retail products exist too. IAS Hospitality lists airport handling from USD 10.93 per person at the Tuban terminal (00:00–23:59 daily), and third-party VIP assistance listings run EUR 132.00–145.00 per person. These cover terminal escort only — not jet ground handling.
What Does a Complete Arrival Actually Total?
| Aircraft class | Typical all-in arrival cost (as of August 2026) |
|---|---|
| Light jet (Phenom, Citation class) | USD 2,500–5,000 |
| Heavy jet (G650, Global class) | USD 6,000–12,000 |
A worked light-jet example: USD 31 landing, USD 37 movement fee, about USD 73 in passenger service charges (six international passengers at IDR 200,000), USD 1,000 handling, USD 250 CIQ, USD 400 arrival concierge — roughly USD 1,790. Add a 1,500-litre top-up at USD 0.907 per litre and you land near USD 3,150, squarely inside the band. Heavy jets scale on every line, with fuel uplifts alone able to pass USD 9,000.
Why Do Quotes for the Same Jet Vary So Much?
Four drivers explain almost every gap between two DPS quotes:
- Tonnage tier. Statutory formulas and handler price lists both step at MTOW thresholds; a 41-tonne jet prices differently from a 39-tonne one.
- Season. Slot and apron pressure peaks in July–August and December–January. With roughly 14 GA parking positions, peak weeks carry surcharges and long ground stays may require repositioning. The November–March wet season adds planning cost.
- Permit scope and timing. Landing permits through the DGCA process currently take 3–5 business days, flight clearance is filed via the official SMS-FSC digital system, and slots plus PPR are required under 2025 guidance. Rush timelines cost more; multi-leg domestic itineraries can use special permits valid up to 30 days.
- Service depth. Bare-bones handling and a full package — CIQ fast-track, concierge, crew hotel logistics — sit at opposite ends of the band.
One forward-looking note: ICAO Annex 14 Amendment 18, covering ground handling, becomes applicable on 26 November 2026 and will shape compliance at DPS through 2027.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are the USD 800–2,500 handling figures official DPS tariffs?
No. Only the airport charges published by Angkasa Pura I — landing, passenger service, and movement fees — are official. The USD 800–2,500 handling band is a commercial market benchmark as of August 2026, quoted per movement, and it varies with aircraft size, season, and scope. Always ask for statutory and commercial lines to be split in any quote.
Why did my quote jump for the same aircraft in August?
July–August is a peak period at DPS, and the general aviation apron holds roughly 14 aircraft. When parking is tight, handlers apply peak surcharges, and longer ground stays may require repositioning. December–January behaves the same way. Booking early — landing permits alone take 3–5 business days through the DGCA process — protects both your price and your slot.
Does fuel come inside the ground handling price?
No — fuel is always billed separately, on actual uplift. According to the Logistics Capacity Assessment, jet fuel at DPS runs USD 0.907 per litre for international operations and USD 1.00 domestic as of August 2026. On many light-jet turnarounds fuel exceeds the handling fee itself, so compare handling quotes with fuel excluded to see the real service cost.
What should an itemised ground handling quote show?
Five layers: statutory airport charges (landing by MTOW, IDR 200,000 passenger service charge per international passenger, the USD 37-and-up movement fee), the handler’s own fee, CIQ handling of USD 150–400, any concierge or transport add-ons, and fuel as a separate uplift line. If a quote arrives as one number with no split, request the breakdown before committing.
Will DPS handling prices change in 2027?
Expect movement. ICAO Annex 14 Amendment 18, which covers ground handling, becomes applicable on 26 November 2026 and will shape compliance requirements at DPS through 2027. Standards-driven changes typically flow into handler pricing. Every figure on this page is stated as of August 2026 and subject to change — confirm current numbers when you request a quote.
