Private jet charter from Van Nuys to Sydney

The route from Van Nuys (VNY) to Sydney (SYD) covers approximately 12,069 km, about 20h 37m nonstop by private jet.

We did not observe a regular nonstop pattern between Van Nuys and Sydney over the last 12 months, so this sector is normally flown ad hoc. Departure-end activity is solid though: 41,806 business aircraft movements were tracked at Van Nuys, around 3,484 a month.

Aircraft based at or passing through Van Nuys are led by the Gulfstream IV and the Gulfstream V, with an average build year of 2009 — that is the pool a charter for this route is most likely to come from.

At the arrival end, Sydney recorded 5,145 tracked movements over the same period (about 429 a month), most often the Beechcraft King Air 350.

Departures from Van Nuys are weekday-led (56% of movements Monday to Thursday) — the classic sign of a business field, where weekend positioning is often available at short notice.

, and the type most often quoted here is the Bombardier Global 8000. 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.
