Vancouver
Flying empty from Vancouver: what to know.
Vancouver International has business aviation terminals on its south side, and floatplanes and helicopters fly from the downtown harbour.
Empty legs from Vancouver leave from Vancouver International (YVR), the private terminal a full charter would use.
By private jet, Vancouver is about 2h 22m from Las Vegas, 2h 30m from Los Angeles, 5h 21m from Hawaii. A leg is only useful when its date and direction fit, so check the flight time against your plans before you enquire.
If nothing leaves Vancouver on your date, look at the lists for Calgary (371 nm) and Edmonton (437 nm).

Why the price drops
A client pays for a one-way charter from Kelowna to Vancouver. The aircraft still has to fly home. Rather than fly it empty, the operator sells that return flight for a fraction of the charter price.
- The date is set by the operator
- It follows the original booking, so it suits trips that can move by a day.
- You book the whole aircraft
- The price is for the jet, not a seat. Bring your own group.
- It can change
- If the original trip moves, the leg moves too. We always offer a full charter alternative.
Outbound
Full charter rate, paid by the first client
Return
Sold below the charter rate, often by half or more
