Cost to Charter a Plane to Europe

A round voyage from Sydney to the Gold Coast costs about 12,000 dollars, dependent on the plane. One long-haul plane from Melbourne to Hawaii with one of their first-class airplanes can cost around US$250,000. When chartering privately, clients are charged a fee for the whole charter and not per capita.

"Usually the way why you rent a personal plane is because it's comfortable," Mr. Mackey said. Mackey has a specific client who is chartering a plane every Friday during the winter time. There are different types of planes in different levels, according to the type of luxuries you are looking for, namely: Economic, Commercial and First Division.

All classes enjoy the benefits of car park at the terminal, lounging areas, the possibility of boarding directly from the taxiway, and of course you have your own aviator. A caterer and cabin crew can be hired on request for extra luxuries. Navair general Manager and aviator Rick Pegus said he often flies aircraft for wealthy private persons who like their private sphere.

"We usually have a minimal fee; we fly at least 1.5 hrs a day," says Pegus. From Sydney to Melbourne, a Navair -returned plane brings you back about $9000 on a smaller plane, while bigger airplanes can cost up to $7000 per hour. What's more, a Navair-returned plane can cost up to $7000 per person.

Pegus, who has been a 22-year old rider, says that he and his crew have traveled clients to Honolulu, China, Fiji and Bora Bora. Whilst not cutting the snacks himself, Pegus makes sure that the food is refreshed and comes 90 min before the start to inspect the wheather, explore the arriving airfield and make sure everything is ready for the air.

As there are different aircraft and different choices, the reservation procedure is only slightly more complicated than ordering a Uber. It' s a five-minute talk and then you can choose to take out your bank account and do it on the phone," says Pegus.
