Chartering a Challenger 605 costs roughly $11,300 to $13,600 an hour all-in, which is the aircraft, crew, fuel and handling, not a seat price. It seats 10-12, its typical range is about 7,400 km, and it cruises near 870 km/h.
The hourly band comes from our engine: the block rate for this class, fuel at the sector burn, handling and permits, a positioning multiplier of 1.50 to 1.80, and a 7% coordination fee. Fuel is priced from IATA's published jet fuel rate of $171.01 a barrel, week of 12 September 2026. A firm price comes from the operator once we have your date.

Out of the routes we publish, this aircraft does not reach New York to Dubai, Miami to Dubai, London to Singapore non-stop, which would need a fuel stop or a larger aircraft.
A heavy jet with one of the widest cabins in its class, common on Europe to Gulf sectors.
Typically 10-12 in charter layout. Configurations differ between operators, so the exact cabin is confirmed with the aircraft.
About 7,400 km in typical configuration, roughly 8.5 hours in the air. Payload, headwinds and fuel reserves all shorten that in practice.
Cruise near 870 km/h, so the time saved against a smaller aircraft grows with the length of the sector.
A fuel stop is needed on the longest sectors we price, for example New York to Dubai.
Baggage volume matters as much as seats. Skis, golf bags and film equipment change the aircraft choice more often than passenger count does.

The honest test is three questions: how many people are travelling with luggage, how far the longest leg is, and which airports you actually need. This aircraft carries 10-12 and reaches about 7,400 km, so a group at the top of that seat count on a sector near the top of that range is where it starts to run out of margin. Fuel, passengers and bags compete for the same weight, and on a full sector something has to give. When that happens the answer is usually the next size up rather than a fuel stop, because a stop costs an hour of block time, a landing fee and a second departure.
The hourly band of $11,300 to $13,600 covers the aircraft, crew, fuel and handling, and the spread between the two numbers is the positioning multiplier: 1.50 when an aircraft is likely to be near you, 1.80 when it has to be flown in. That empty leg to reach you is the single largest variable in charter, which is why the same aircraft on the same route can price very differently on two dates. Fuel is priced from IATA's published jet fuel rate of $171.01 a barrel for the week of 12 September 2026, with an into-plane allowance on top.
What is not in the number: landing and parking fees at unusual airports, overflight permits on long international sectors, premium catering, ground transport, de-icing in winter, and crew overnight costs when the schedule requires them. Those are itemised on the operator quote rather than buried in an hourly rate. We are a broker, so the operator flying you is named in writing before you commit.
About $11,300 to $13,600 an hour all-in on our own pricing engine, covering aircraft, crew, fuel, handling and coordination. The hourly figure is only a guide: the empty positioning flight to reach you is often the biggest single item, so a short trip with the aircraft already nearby can price far below a long one.
Typically 10-12 in charter configuration. On a long sector the fuel load can reduce the seats that are actually usable, so a full cabin plus luggage sometimes means moving up a size.
About 7,400 km in typical charter configuration, or roughly 8.5 hours in the air at its 870 km/h cruise. Headwinds, payload and reserves all shorten it in practice.
From the routes we publish, it reaches 99 of them non-stop. The table on this page lists the busiest ones with prices.
It depends on three things: how many people, how far, and which airports. Send the route, the date and the passenger count and we will price this aircraft against the sizes either side of it, so you can see what the difference buys.
Send the route, the date and the number of passengers. We check operators with this aircraft near either end and come back with named options and a price.
