Private jet charter from Cape Town to Durban
The route from Cape Town (CPT) to Durban (DUR) covers approximately 1,277 km, about 2h 38m nonstop by private jet.
We did not observe a regular nonstop pattern between Cape Town and Durban over the last 12 months, so this sector is normally flown ad hoc. Departure-end activity is solid though: 2,086 business aircraft movements were tracked at Cape Town, around 174 a month.
Aircraft based at or passing through Cape Town are led by the Pilatus PC-12 and the Beechcraft King Air 350, with an average build year of 2007 — that is the pool a charter for this route is most likely to come from.
Departures from Cape Town are weekday-led (58% 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 1,277 km without a fuel stop is the very light jet at $1,500-4,500 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.
