How much to charter a jet —
all-in, not just hourly.
Hourly is only the start. Landing fees, taxes, overnight, catering. We show the full picture, then three firm options.

2.5 HR BLOCK
What "all-in" actually means.
Every charter is built from the same six line items. Brokers who quote only the hourly rate are showing you one of six.
Aircraft block hours
Time from engine start at origin to engine shutdown at destination, plus minimums. This is the line most brokers quote as "the price."
Light ~$3,900/hr · Heavy ~$8,500+/hrFuel & surcharges
Fuel varies by market and route. Surcharges float with jet-A pricing and may apply on repositioning legs. Always disclosed on our receipts.
Often 6–10% of blockLanding & handling
Each airport charges a landing fee plus ramp / FBO handling. KTEB, KPBI, KLAS, KASE all differ. High-density or slot-controlled airports cost more.
~$400–$2,500 per legSegment FET 7.5%
Federal Excise Tax of 7.5% applies to domestic U.S. transportation under 14 CFR. International departures have a different fee structure entirely.
7.5% domestic segmentsCatering
Standard tray service is usually modest. Custom catering (specific restaurants, dietary, premium bar) escalates quickly and is quoted line-by-line.
~$200–$1,500+ per legOvernight & wait time
If the aircraft stays with you overnight, or waits on the ground between legs, per-night fees and short-stop minimums apply. Round-trips often save vs. two one-ways.
~$1,000–$2,500/nightThree real receipts. Same six line items.
