ADL MEL

Private jet charter from Adelaide to Melbourne

The route from Adelaide (ADL) to Melbourne (MEL) covers approximately 642 km, about 1h 34m nonstop by private jet.

At the arrival end, Melbourne recorded 679 tracked movements over the same period (about 57 a month), most often the Bombardier Global Express.

The leg runs south-east for 642 km: 0h 45m of cruise, 1h 34m gate to gate once taxi, climb and descent are counted. That block time, not the distance, is what the quote is written against.

Melbourne runs 1 hour ahead of Adelaide, so a 09:00 departure lands at 10:45 local — worth checking against slot and curfew times at the arrival end.

The smallest cabin that covers 642 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.
