Ask a specialistHow much does it cost to charter a private jet in the US?+
Typical hourly rates are $5.5k to $9.8k for a light jet, $9.8k to $10.8k for a midsize, $11.8k to $13k for a super-midsize and $15.1k to $18.5k for a heavy jet, before positioning, airport charges and federal excise tax.
Which size of jet do I need?+
Light jets suit four to seven people on trips up to about three hours. Midsize and super-midsize jets add a stand-up cabin and more bags for three to six hours. Heavy jets fly long-haul with a full galley, often with a bed.
Is a turboprop cheaper than a jet?+
Usually, yes: turboprops charter for about $4k to $4.9k an hour and can use short runways that jets cannot, but they fly slower, so they suit trips under about two hours.
How many passengers can a private jet carry?+
From four in the smallest light jets to about 19 in heavy jets. Airliners converted for VIP use carry more. The seat count on your quote is the actual aircraft's layout.
Do bigger jets cost more per passenger?+
Per hour, yes. Per person, a full midsize can cost less than a half-empty heavy jet, so pick the size by passengers, bags and distance, not by cabin alone.
