The cost of chartering a private jet.

A working reference on hourly rates, typical charter bands by route and aircraft, and what is included in the quote — and what is not.

Charter rates in 2026 range from approximately $2,500 per hour for a turboprop to $15,500 per hour for an ultra-long-range jet such as the Gulfstream G650ER. On a one-way basis, charter flights typically range from $8,000 for a short light-jet hop to $200,000 or more for a transoceanic long-haul.

Hourly rates, by aircraft class

The block hour — billed flight time from engine start to engine shutdown — is the fundamental unit of charter pricing. Hourly rates vary materially by aircraft class.
