Flying to Canada
The easiest border in the network and still a border. Customs, manifest and eAPIS apply exactly as they would crossing an ocean.
We publish 16 inbound routes into Canada across 4 cities in Canada. Sectors run from 300 to 2,105 nautical miles, which is a wide enough spread that aircraft class is decided route by route rather than by the region as a whole.
On 100 percent of those routes a heavy jet makes it nonstop with margin for a full cabin. On the rest you are choosing between an ultra long range airframe and a technical stop, and the honest answer is that the stop is frequently the better value. A cheaper aircraft plus an hour on the ground can beat the largest cabin on total cost, and the bid comparison shows you whether it does on your specific date.
What to confirm before committing
Customs hours at the arrival field, because outside them an officer may need calling out with notice and a fee. Permit lead times for the specific routing, since some take working days. Ramp and overnight parking availability, which at popular fields in season is the constraint people forget. And crew qualification for any terrain constrained airport on the itinerary.
Ask the operator to confirm all four against your date rather than in general. The general answer is almost always yes and the specific answer occasionally is not.

Questions
Charter to Canada

Which airports serve Canada for private charter?
We track 4 metro markets across 1 country in Canada: Toronto (CYYZ), Vancouver (CYVR), Montreal (CYUL) and Calgary (CYYC). Each city page lists the alternates and the operating constraints that decide which field you actually use.
How far is Canada by private jet?
Across the routes we publish into Canada, the shortest sector is 300 nautical miles and the longest is 2,105. In a heavy jet that spans roughly 1h 00m to 4h 52m of airborne time, before winds and before any fuel stop the longer sectors require.
Can a heavy jet reach Canada nonstop?
On 100 percent of the routes we publish into Canada, a Gulfstream G450 covers the sector nonstop with comfortable margin. On the remainder the distance forces either an ultra long range aircraft or a technical stop. Every route page states which applies and names the smallest class that makes it without stopping.
Do I clear customs on an international private flight?
Yes, at both ends, and flying privately changes the venue rather than the requirement. Clearance happens at the private terminal instead of a public arrivals hall and usually takes minutes. The operator files the passenger manifest in advance, which is why passport details are needed before departure rather than presented on arrival.
How far in advance does an international charter need to be booked?
Longer than a domestic leg. Landing and overflight permits are the binding constraint on some routings and several take working days to issue. Customs notification, crew duty planning and handling agent arrangements stack on top. Tell us the target date early and we will tell you what the routing actually requires.
Which aircraft can cross an ocean?
Far fewer than the marketing suggests. Of the 43 aircraft we track, the ones that reliably cross the North Atlantic with a full cabin sit in the heavy and ultra long range classes. A Gulfstream G450 manages 4,350 nm of book range and a Gulfstream G650ER manages 7,500 nm, and real missions run at roughly 80 percent of those figures once the cabin fills and the winds turn.
Why is the westbound flight longer than the eastbound one?
The jet stream. Crossing the North Atlantic eastbound you are usually flying with it and westbound you are flying into it, and on the same city pair that difference can run to an hour or more. Our block time estimates deliberately exclude winds, so treat the published figure as a still air baseline and expect the return to be the slower one.
