Private Jet Charter: Basics

What is a private jet charter ?
A private jet charter is the hire of an aircraft (business jet in this case) for the operation and transport of passengers and/or cargo on a non-scheduled flight.

How much is a private jet ticket ?
Chartering a private jet does not provide you with a 'ticket' as offered in regular commercial aviation but you will receive a flight brief which will provide all necessary information for your flight including the date, route, aircraft type, aircraft registration, flight schedule, flight time and handler details as the respective departure and arrival airport.

How much does it cost to charter a private jet ?
The cost of chartering a private jet for a flight depends on many factors:

• Hourly rate subject to type and size of aircraft
• Total Flight duration (including the positioning or re-positioning flight if necessary)
• Handling fees for each airport and overflight fees
• Overnight fees (if applicable)
• Airport and other taxes (if applicable)

The approximate hourly rate for each major aircraft type category ( Rates are in $ / USD / United States Dollars, indicative information only) :

• Turbo Propeller (KingAir 350iER and similar), 6-8 seaters $1,100 - $1,900
• Very Light Jet (Citation Mustang and similar), 4-5 seaters $1,400 - $2,200
  
• Light Jet (Phenom 300 and similar), 6-8 seaters $2,200 - $3,000
• Mid-Size Jet (LearJet 75 and similar), 6-9 seaters $2,700 - $3,900
