Private jet charter from Newark to Chicago

The route from Newark (EWR) to Chicago (MDW) covers approximately 1,141 km, with a median block time of 2h 18m on flights we actually tracked.

Traffic between Newark and Chicago is thin — 39 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 18m, about 57 minutes longer than a straight distance-and-cruise-speed estimate — taxi, routing and traffic flow account for the difference.

Traffic is strongly seasonal — October carried 6 flights against 1 in January, a 6.0× swing. Expect tighter availability and firmer quotes at the peak.

The Bombardier Challenger 350 dominates the route, accounting for 36% of tracked movements, followed by the Bombardier Challenger 600 and the Cessna Citation Longitude — a useful sanity check when a broker offers you something much larger or much older.
