What counts as an 8 seater private jet
The Bombardier Challenger 300, Cessna Citation X, Cessna Citation XLS and Dassault Falcon 2000 are the 8-seat jets you will most often be offered in Canada. A super-midsize jet like these costs about C$16,690 to C$18,450 per flight hour to charter, and from about $2.3 million to buy.
These are typical passenger seats for each model, not the certified maximum. Pilots and cabin crew sit separately.
14 models on the Canadian Transportation Agency's register of air licences seat 8 passengers; together they make up 113 aircraft.
Seats are not the only limit. Bags, fuel and runway length all count: a full 8-seat cabin on a long or hot-weather leg may need a fuel stop. If your group fills every seat, look at a 10 seater private jet.
Charter is priced for the whole aircraft by the flight hour: about C$16,690 to C$18,450 for a super-midsize jet in Canada. Tell us the route and we confirm an aircraft and price from licensed operators in Canada.

8 seater private jet price
What it costs to buy the models above. Robinson figures are the maker's list prices; the others are dealer listings and published pre-owned averages.
To charter, you pay by the flight hour, not for the seats: about C$16,690 to C$18,450 per hour for a super-midsize 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.
