Sydney ⇄ Melbourne
Sydney to Melbourne by private jet
Sydney to Melbourne is the Australian city pair with a published planning figure: light jet, from $18,500 AUD. It is a benchmark for the conversation, not a fare you can buy on this page. The return, Melbourne to Sydney, is the same enquiry.
The figure that is actually published
Sydney ⇄ Melbourne (Light Jet) from $18,500 AUD. The same line appears in the fleet section of the homepage. Your aviation advisor confirms the private tariff for aircraft, timing and handling.
Fuel, landing fees, overflight permissions, catering, ground transport, waiting time and regulatory charges may affect the final cost. A price discussion is an estimate unless it is confirmed in a formal quote.
Light jet, unless the party needs more cabin
The benchmark is tied to the Light Jet category: Embraer Phenom 300E / Citation CJ3+, Up to 8 Passengers. That category is described for regional Australian domestic routes and quick hops. Sydney–Melbourne is that kind of domestic sector.
It is not a rule that every Melbourne flight is a light jet. Up to 10 Passengers on Challenger 350 / Praetor 600, up to 16 passengers on Falcon 7X / 900, or up to 19 passengers on Gulfstream G650ER / Global 7500 are separate quotes. Say which cabin you want, or ask the advisor to recommend one.
One way, return, multi-leg, empty leg
The form accepts One Way, Return, Multi-Leg and Empty Leg. A return needs a return date. A multi-leg itinerary should be described in the notes, city by city.
Empty Leg can be requested. This site does not list live empty legs between Sydney and Melbourne, and it does not publish a discount off the benchmark. The advisor says whether a positioning flight exists.
What the benchmark does not include in print
Catering is coordinated rather than included as a set menu. Ground transfer can be requested. VIP Elite membership, separately, includes complimentary airside chauffeur transfers — that is a membership inclusion, not an automatic line on a one-off Melbourne charter.
Airside vehicle-to-stair transfers are described at Sydney Mascot (YSSY) and Bankstown (YSBK). Melbourne airports are confirmed with the itinerary. The desk is in Sydney: Level 17, 400 George Street.
QUESTIONS
Short answers first. Where a detail depends on the aircraft or the day, your advisor confirms it.
How much does a private jet charter in Australia cost?
A private jet charter in Australia is priced for the whole flight, not per seat. Light jets cost less than super-midsize, heavy or ultra-long-range aircraft. Positioning, airports, crew time and extras such as catering are added. Your advisor confirms the quote for your dates.
Two planning benchmarks are published. Sydney ⇄ Melbourne on a Light Jet is from $18,500 AUD. Sydney ⇄ Singapore on a Heavy Jet is from $145,000 AUD. They are samples for those trips, not fares for other routes, and not a price you can pay on this website.
How many passengers can each private jet category carry?
The published capacities are up to 8 passengers on a Light Jet, up to 10 on a Super-Midsize Jet, up to 16 on a Heavy Jet, and up to 19 on an Ultra Long-Range Flagship.
The enquiry form also groups parties as 1–2, 3–6, 7–12 or 13+. The category that suits a flight depends on the route as well as the headcount. Your advisor confirms the aircraft. Photography on this site is representative and does not imply ownership of a specific airframe.
Do you offer empty leg flights in Australia?
Empty Leg can be requested as a trip type when you enquire.
This site does not publish a live empty-leg inventory, a fixed discount, or guaranteed seats. An empty leg, in ordinary charter language, is a positioning sector an operator may already be flying. Your aviation advisor confirms whether a suitable flight exists for your dates and route. One Way, Return and Multi-Leg remain the other published trip types.
How far in advance should I book a private jet?
Many charters are arranged a few days to a few weeks ahead. A same-week departure is sometimes possible when an aircraft and crew are free, and a peak date needs longer. Nothing on this site is a guaranteed notice period.
A dedicated aviation advisor responds within one business hour. Concierge hours are Mon – Fri: 08:30 – 17:30. Saturday & Sunday: by appointment. VIP Elite, Corporate Partner and Family Office are membership accounts with their own coordination. An aircraft is still confirmed for each trip.
