MEL OOL

Private jet charter from Melbourne to Gold Coast

The route from Melbourne (MEL) to Gold Coast (OOL) covers approximately 1,330 km, about 2h 43m nonstop by private jet.

We did not observe a regular nonstop pattern between Melbourne and Gold Coast over the last 12 months, so this sector is normally flown ad hoc. Departure-end activity is solid though: 679 business aircraft movements were tracked at Melbourne, around 57 a month.

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.

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.

The smallest cabin that covers 1,330 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.
