Private JetCharter Routes

What is on a route page

Charter has no published timetable, so the questions that matter before you request a quote are geometric. How far is it really. Will the aircraft I want make it without stopping. Which airport at each end should I be using. How much of my day does this actually take.

We answer those from the coordinates rather than from a brochure. Every distance on this site is a great circle calculation between two airport reference points. Every block time is modelled from that distance with a documented allowance for taxi, climb and descent, and it excludes winds on purpose, because a westbound North Atlantic crossing can run an hour longer than the same leg eastbound and averaging that away would be worse than saying nothing.

Nonstop capability, stated in three parts

A yes or no answer to whether an aircraft goes nonstop is usually a lie. Manufacturer range figures assume long range cruise, standard reserves and a stated payload, and real trips carry more people, more bags and worse winds. So we split it. Under 80 percent of book range is a nonstop that survives a full cabin. Between 80 and 97 percent is real but conditional, and the operator has to confirm it against the specific tail number. Above that, plan the fuel stop.

Airports, plural

The field you have heard of is often not the field you should use. Most large metros have three or four options, and the right one depends on runway length, customs facilities, ramp availability on your date and how far it actually is from where you are going. Twenty minutes of extra driving frequently buys a cheaper ramp and a faster departure.

None of it requires you to give us anything. When you want a number, the form asks for the trip and nothing else.
