ozpilot Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 Hello I am a licesed pilot based near Wilsons Promontry in South Gippsland, there are various scenic flight operators in the area but there prices are huge. To private hire an aircraft for an hour is the same price as a 20 minute joy flight but you get an hour! And if we cost share the rental fee I can fly the aircraft and it would cost about $50 a person for an hour !!! Can take up to 3 passengers. Drop me a line.

Suzukiscottie Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 $0.83 a minute. Jet star and Qantas should be worried. Not bad. Can you fly me to Sydney for that rate? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The Pom Queen Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 Sounds good in theory, not sure in practice. So how much is it to hire a plane per hour? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozpilot Posted May 15, 2016 Author Share Posted May 15, 2016 So how much is it to hire a plane per hour? $200 hour for a four seat Cessna that is private hired to pilots or $360+ to charter (hire plane and pilot). The below link is to a local scenic flight operator, they charge $200 per passenger (Minimum 2) so thats $400 for a 40 minute joy flight. I can take three passengers for around $70 each for an hour using the cost share model, if there is only 1 passenger we just split the $200 aircraft rental fee between us so would be no more than $100 per hour for 1 passenger. http://promcountryflights.com.au/Flights.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
