Private Jet from Denver, US (APA) to Phoenix, US (AZA)

Private jet charter from Denver to Phoenix

The route from Denver (APA) to Phoenix (AZA) covers approximately 924 km, with a median block time of 2h 23m on flights we actually tracked.

Traffic between Denver and Phoenix is thin — 35 private flights tracked in 12 months, so aircraft are usually positioned in from elsewhere and one-way pricing is the norm.

Median block time on tracked flights is 2h 23m, about 78 minutes longer than a straight distance-and-cruise-speed estimate — taxi, routing and traffic flow account for the difference.

The Pilatus PC-12 dominates the route, accounting for 42% of tracked movements, followed by the Embraer Phenom 300 and the Gulfstream V — a useful sanity check when a broker offers you something much larger or much older.

Denver sits at 5,885 ft (1,794 m) above sea level. Thin air stretches the take-off run, so operators trim payload or fuel on warm days — one reason quotes from here read higher than the distance suggests.

Flying back from Phoenix is 43 minutes quicker: 1h 40m against 2h 23m on this direction, measured on tracked flights. Winds aloft run west to east at these latitudes, so the eastbound leg rides the jet stream and the westbound one fights it. Plan a there-and-back with different block times, not one figure doubled — the Phoenix to Denver leg has its own page with its own numbers.

The smallest cabin that covers 924 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.
