Private jet charter from Nashville to Columbus
The route from Nashville (BNA) to Columbus (CMH) covers approximately 543 km, with a median block time of 1h 54m on flights we actually tracked.
Traffic between Nashville and Columbus is thin — 17 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 1h 54m, about 76 minutes longer than a straight distance-and-cruise-speed estimate — taxi, routing and traffic flow account for the difference.
The Cessna Citation Latitude dominates the route, accounting for 33% of tracked movements, followed by the Bombardier Challenger 350 and the Bombardier Global Express — a useful sanity check when a broker offers you something much larger or much older.
Flying back from Columbus is 40 minutes slower: 2h 34m against 1h 54m on this direction, measured on tracked flights. The headwind sits on the return leg here, which is why the outbound reads shorter. Plan a there-and-back with different block times, not one figure doubled — the Columbus to Nashville leg has its own page with its own numbers.
The smallest cabin that covers 543 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.
