MDW HNL

Private jet charter from Chicago to Honolulu

The route from Chicago (MDW) to Honolulu (HNL) covers approximately 6,833 km, about 11h 53m nonstop by private jet.

We did not observe a regular nonstop pattern between Chicago and Honolulu over the last 12 months, so this sector is normally flown ad hoc. Departure-end activity is solid though: 24,583 business aircraft movements were tracked at Chicago, around 2,049 a month.

Aircraft based at or passing through Chicago are led by the Cessna Citation Latitude and the Embraer Phenom 300, with an average build year of 2014 — that is the pool a charter for this route is most likely to come from.

At the arrival end, Honolulu recorded 6,605 tracked movements over the same period (about 550 a month), most often the Beechcraft King Air 90.

Departures from Chicago are weekday-led (62% of movements Monday to Thursday) — the classic sign of a business field, where weekend positioning is often available at short notice.

The smallest cabin that covers 6,833 km without a fuel stop is the super midsize jet at $5,000-7,500 an hour, and the type most often quoted here is the Bombardier Global 5500. 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.
