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.
