Private Jet from Chicago, US (MDW) to Newark, US (EWR)

Private jet charter from Chicago to Newark

The route from Chicago (MDW) to Newark (EWR) covers approximately 1,141 km, with a median block time of 2h 38m on flights we actually tracked.

Traffic between Chicago and Newark is thin — 45 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 38m, about 77 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 31% of tracked movements, followed by the Embraer Phenom 300 and the Bombardier Challenger 350 — a useful sanity check when a broker offers you something much larger or much older.

Flying back from Newark is 20 minutes quicker: 2h 18m against 2h 38m 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 Newark to Chicago leg has its own page with its own numbers.

The smallest cabin that covers 1,141 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.
