MEB SYD

Private jet charter from Melbourne to Sydney

The route from Melbourne (MEB) to Sydney (SYD) covers approximately 705 km, about 1h 40m nonstop by private jet.

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.

The leg runs north-east for 705 km: 0h 50m of cruise, 1h 41m gate to gate once taxi, climb and descent are counted. That block time, not the distance, is what the quote is written against.

Both ends keep the same clock, so a 09:00 departure from Melbourne lands at 10:20 local in Sydney — no time-zone maths for the meeting after.

The smallest cabin that covers 705 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.
