What counts as a 16 passenger private jet
The Dassault Falcon 7X, Gulfstream G650 and Gulfstream G550 are the 16-seat jets you will most often be offered in Canada. A heavy jet like these costs about C$21,350 to C$26,200 per flight hour to charter, and from about $14.5 million to buy.
These are typical passenger seats for each model, not the certified maximum. Pilots and cabin crew sit separately.
3 models on the Canadian Transportation Agency's register of air licences seat 16 or more; together they make up 11 aircraft.
Seats are not the only limit. Bags, fuel and runway length all count: a full 16-seat cabin on a long or hot-weather leg may need a fuel stop. If your group fills every seat, look at a 20 passenger private jet.
Charter is priced for the whole aircraft by the flight hour: about C$21,350 to C$26,200 for a heavy jet in Canada. Tell us the route and we confirm an aircraft and price from licensed operators in Canada.
Every 16 passenger private jet on charter in Canada
Seats are typical passenger seating for each model; "up to" figures are the published maximum. Counts are aircraft flown by operators on the Canadian Transportation Agency's register of air licences, from each operator's published fleet. Business jets are certified for at most 19 passengers, so larger groups fly regional airliners on charter; ask the desk.

To charter, you pay by the flight hour, not for the seats: about C$21,350 to C$26,200 per hour for a heavy jet like these in Canada, before GST or HST where it applies, and airport fees, positioning and airport charges. An empty seat costs the same as a full one, so price the trip for the whole aircraft.
