YOW YZF

Private jet charter from Ottawa to Yellowknife

The route from Ottawa (YOW) to Yellowknife (YZF) covers approximately 3,100 km, about 5h 40m nonstop by private jet.

We did not observe a regular nonstop pattern between Ottawa and Yellowknife over the last 12 months, so this sector is normally flown ad hoc. Departure-end activity is solid though: 2,493 business aircraft movements were tracked at Ottawa, around 208 a month.

Aircraft based at or passing through Ottawa are led by the Bombardier Challenger 600 and the Pilatus PC-12, with an average build year of 2008 — that is the pool a charter for this route is most likely to come from.

At the arrival end, Yellowknife recorded 1,567 tracked movements over the same period (about 131 a month), most often the Beechcraft King Air 200.

Departures from Ottawa are weekday-led (66% of movements Monday to Thursday) — the classic sign of a business field, where weekend positioning is often available at short notice.

The smallest cabin that covers 3,100 km without a fuel stop is the light jet at $2,500-4,500 an hour, and the type most often quoted here is the Bombardier Challenger 350. How the hourly rate turns into a total is set out in the private jet cost guide, and if the dates are loose it is worth checking empty leg flights on this direction first.
