Private jet charter from Dulles to Ottawa
The route from Dulles (IAD) to Ottawa (YOW) covers approximately 724 km, with a median block time of 1h 21m on flights we actually tracked.
Traffic between Dulles and Ottawa 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 1h 21m, about 30 minutes longer than a straight distance-and-cruise-speed estimate — taxi, routing and traffic flow account for the difference.
Traffic is strongly seasonal — April carried 9 flights against 1 in December, a 9.0× swing. Expect tighter availability and firmer quotes at the peak.
The Gulfstream G280 dominates the route, accounting for 45% of tracked movements, followed by the Bombardier Challenger 600 and the Pilatus PC-12 — a useful sanity check when a broker offers you something much larger or much older.
Flying back from Ottawa is 17 minutes slower: 1h 38m against 1h 21m 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 Ottawa to Dulles leg has its own page with its own numbers.
The smallest cabin that covers 724 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.
