What counts as a 6 seater private jet
The Cessna Citation CJ3, Embraer Phenom 300, Pilatus PC-24 and Cessna Citation Encore are the 6-seat jets you will most often be offered in Canada. Light jets like these cost about C$7,790 to C$13,970 per flight hour to charter, and from about $4.64 million to buy.
These are typical passenger seats for each model, not the certified maximum. Pilots and cabin crew sit separately.
4 models on the Canadian Transportation Agency's register of air licences seat 6 passengers; together they make up 35 aircraft.
Seats are not the only limit. Bags, fuel and runway length all count: a full 6-seat cabin on a long or hot-weather leg may need a fuel stop. If your group fills every seat, look at an 8 seater private jet.
Charter is priced for the whole aircraft by the flight hour: about C$7,790 to C$13,970 for a light jet in Canada. Tell us the route and we confirm an aircraft and price from licensed operators in Canada.

6 seater private jet price
What it costs to buy the models above. Figures are dealer listings and published pre-owned averages.
To charter, you pay by the flight hour, not for the seats: about C$7,790 to C$13,970 per hour for light jets like these in Canada, before GST or HST where it applies, and airport fees, positioning and airport charges. An empty seat costs the same as a full one, so price the trip for the whole aircraft.
