Chartering a private jet can be one of the most rewarding experiences of your life. Despite its reputation as a symbol of extravagance, a chartered executive jet remains a valuable time-saver and therefore constitutes the most convenient mode of air transportation. But, how much does it cost to charter a private jet in Brazil? And can you instantly book your own trip using an Uber-style private aviation platform? Let’s take a look.

The minimum cost to charter a private jet

The cost of a chartered executive jet is derived from several factors, among which the most frequently used variables include:

• The estimated price per hour or per kilometer/mile traveled;
• The cost of airport landing fees;
• FBO (Fixed Base Operator) costs related to the handling and use of the private jet terminal;
• Overnight costs;
• The minimum flight or trip fare.

To obtain an hourly cost for the flight offered to the end customer, operators typically calculate their fixed and variable costs and impose a small margin on top of that. Thus, an hourly cost can range from US$2,200.00 for a turboprop aircraft to US$11,000.00/hour for large transcontinental jets.

The minimum trip fee or minimum flight distance would be applied to justify fixed costs and ensure a fair minimum value for a charter flight. Generally, these range from one to two hours of flight time. Operators of smaller piston aircraft may also choose to use a minimum flight distance, usually 600 to 800 km. For long-range aircraft, we have seen air carriers applying a minimum distance of 2,500 km, which generally reflects their preference for operating only long-haul flights.

Before we proceed, let’s look at one last variable used in calculating charter costs—the powerful flight coefficient. This indicator is used to accurately calculate the actual distance traveled between two points. The logic behind its use stems from the simple fact that airplanes do not fly in straight lines. In practice, they tend to follow defined routes that are rarely straight—due to airport traffic or geography/military infrastructure.

Therefore, in the case of shorter routes, an operator may impose a flight coefficient of 15%+, which translates into a 15% longer flight distance used for its quotation. For long-haul flights, airlines would either eliminate the distance modifier entirely or apply a symbolic distance rate factor of +3%.

Armed with knowledge about minimum distance, hourly costs, and airport/FBO fees, we are now ready to calculate the actual cost of chartering a private jet.
