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.
