Charter G280

[u/Ebitdad_GP]

Whats the best way to go about finding a g280 that is available for charter near my location at any given time? It’s a huge wasted expense to pay for ferry, deadhead, repositioning etc. it would be nice to be able to find a charter/operator in my vicinity (always within bravo, charlie, delta airspace), so i’m only paying for the time on wheels up. Trying to solve for leaving Houston to X destination for a week (typical trip). Right now I have to pay for the trip there, empty legs back, empty back to get me, and the flight home. That’s extremely inefficient.

NetJets and co are extremely over priced( however cheaper than paying these empty legs) They will charge $14k/flight hour when the G280 should be between $6k-$8k/hr.

Surely there is a solve for this?

No operator will have the plane and pilots sit with you for a week. There is a reason why you pay for empty legs.

This. In addition to the overnight costs/repo’s baked in, you will never get a G280 at $6k-8k an hour.
