SYD VNY

Private jet charter from Sydney to Van Nuys

The route from Sydney (SYD) to Van Nuys (VNY) covers approximately 12,069 km, about 20h 37m nonstop by private jet.

We did not observe a regular nonstop pattern between Sydney and Van Nuys over the last 12 months, so this sector is normally flown ad hoc. Departure-end activity is solid though: 5,145 business aircraft movements were tracked at Sydney, around 429 a month.

Aircraft based at or passing through Sydney are led by the Beechcraft King Air 350 and the Pilatus PC-24, with an average build year of 2014 — 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 Sydney 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 8000. 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.
