Typical Charter Jet Costs

average cost of private jet charter

With private jet charter, you pay the cost for the whole aircraft rather than by seat or number of passengers. The cost of your charter flight will be the hourly rate for the private jet model selected for the flight time incurred - including both live flight time with passengers and any positioning or empty legs required. Other costs will include hourly fuel surcharges, applicable taxes and other fees. As a general starting point, below are typical price ranges for jets by size categories.

Quotes for specific itineraries will depend on the specific jet model and a number of other factors. To understand why quotes may vary, please see our Charter Quote Variants section.
