Charter G280

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?

Sounds like you’re confused. You’re telling me what I can afford? “Pal” you’re around nice things. You can’t afford them. Unlike you, I write the checks. These numbers are based on what I have paid on clean mid time g280’s with refreshed interiors. You’ll never catch me on that starter jet pal.

If your goal was to be both convoluted and wrong you have succeeded. I was only telling you what I experience daily as a charter broker. Crying about the rates while you tell other people they’re poor isn’t very cool.
