Private Jet from Canberra, AU (CBR) to Brisbane, AU (BNE)

Private jet charter from Canberra to Brisbane

The route from Canberra (CBR) to Brisbane (BNE) covers approximately 956 km, with a median block time of 1h 45m on flights we actually tracked.

Traffic between Canberra and Brisbane is thin — 29 private flights tracked in 12 months, so aircraft are usually positioned in from elsewhere and one-way pricing is the norm.

Median block time on tracked flights is 1h 45m, about 38 minutes longer than a straight distance-and-cruise-speed estimate — taxi, routing and traffic flow account for the difference.

The Embraer Phenom 300 dominates the route, accounting for 55% of tracked movements, followed by the Pilatus PC-12 and the Bombardier Global Express — a useful sanity check when a broker offers you something much larger or much older.

Flying back from Brisbane is 19 minutes slower: 2h 04m against 1h 45m on this direction, measured on tracked flights. The headwind sits on the return leg here, which is why the outbound reads shorter. Plan a there-and-back with different block times, not one figure doubled — the Brisbane to Canberra leg has its own page with its own numbers.

The smallest cabin that covers 956 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.
