Private jet charter from Van Nuys to Phoenix
The route from Van Nuys (VNY) to Phoenix (PHX) covers approximately 604 km, with a median block time of 1h 11m on flights we actually tracked.
Van Nuys to Phoenix is a high-frequency business aviation sector: 245 private flights were tracked over the last 12 months, roughly 20 a month.
Median block time on tracked flights is 1h 11m, about 28 minutes longer than a straight distance-and-cruise-speed estimate — taxi, routing and traffic flow account for the difference.
Traffic is strongly seasonal — September carried 32 flights against 11 in May, a 2.9× swing. Expect tighter availability and firmer quotes at the peak.
No single type owns this route: the Gulfstream IV leads with 23% of movements, with the Cessna Citation CJ3 and Cessna Citation Latitude close behind, so availability across cabin classes is usually good.
The return leg from Phoenix takes about the same time — 1h 14m against 1h 11m — so a same-day there-and-back is planned symmetrically.
The smallest cabin that covers 604 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.
