Key Factors Influencing Charter Flight Costs:
Type of Aircraft
The size and model of the aircraft are major factors in cost. A light jet will be more economical for short flights, while midsize, heavy, and ultra-long-range jets have more range, more space, and more amenities, which will increase the price.
Flight Distance
Longer flights cost more in terms of fuel, crew and hauling requirements, and aircraft range. This calculator lets you enter actual distances or routes.
Length of Stay
The length of time a plane stays at a destination can affect the total cost. Longer stays can incur extra costs for crew accommodations or repositioning fees.
Airport Fees
Airports charge different rates for landing, parking, and handling as well as being located in different regions and having different-sized aircraft. The calculator takes all these rates into consideration and gives a complete breakdown of the costs.
Extra Services
Orders for catering in flight, ground transportation, or concierge services will also affect the total cost. Clients can incorporate these extras in the estimation.
