Ottawa
Flying empty to Ottawa: what to know.
Ottawa Macdonald-Cartier International serves the capital, with a business aviation terminal.

By private jet, Ottawa is about 0h 29m from Mont-Tremblant, 0h 30m from Montreal, 0h 40m from Muskoka. A leg is only useful when its date and direction fit, so check the flight time against your plans before you enquire.

Why the price drops
A client pays for a one-way charter from Ottawa to Miami. The aircraft still has to fly home. Rather than fly it empty, the operator sells that return flight for a fraction of the charter price.
- The date is set by the operator
- It follows the original booking, so it suits trips that can move by a day.
- You book the whole aircraft
- The price is for the jet, not a seat. Bring your own group.
- It can change
- If the original trip moves, the leg moves too. We always offer a full charter alternative.
Outbound
Full charter rate, paid by the first client
Return
Sold below the charter rate, often by half or more
