MIA HOU

Private jet charter from Miami to Houston

The route from Miami (MIA) to Houston (HOU) covers approximately 1,535 km, about 3h 03m nonstop by private jet.

We did not observe a regular nonstop pattern between Miami and Houston over the last 12 months, so this sector is normally flown ad hoc. Departure-end activity is solid though: 4,229 business aircraft movements were tracked at Miami, around 352 a month.

Aircraft based at or passing through Miami are led by the Cessna Citation Latitude and the Bombardier Challenger 350, 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, Houston recorded 9,586 tracked movements over the same period (about 799 a month), most often the Embraer Phenom 300.

Departures from Miami are weekday-led (59% 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 1,535 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.
