Aircraft based at or passing through Melbourne are led by the Bombardier Global Express and the Hawker 800, with an average build year of 2012 — that is the pool a charter for this route is most likely to come from.

At the arrival end, Van Nuys recorded 41,806 tracked movements over the same period (about 3,484 a month), most often the Gulfstream IV.

Departures from Melbourne 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.

, and the type most often quoted here is the Bombardier Global 7500. 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.
