Owning or accessing a private plane isn’t about glamour. It’s about time, control, and certainty. For many leaders and families, the aircraft is a business tool that removes friction: no lineups, no missed connections, no “we can’t get there today.” For others, it’s the only reliable way to reach remote Canadian communities, small islands, or multiple cities in a single day. Below we unpack why people use private aviation.
This guide breaks down how to compare private jet emissions vs car fairly, why the numbers behave the way they do, and how to cut the footprint if you must fly private. We’ll also touch on the “luxury billionaire private jet and car” narrative and what actually moves the needle.
When Michael’s assistant pinged him the night before his charter, the message was simple: “NovaJet tail N725PJ, crew briefing at 4:30 p.m. at Signature Flight Support.” He didn’t blink. Over the years, he’s learned that private-jet travel isn’t magic — it’s a choreography of small details done right. Miss one step, and the seamless experience starts to fray. To make sure nothing slips through the cracks, here’s Michael’s quietly refined checklist for flying by private jet out of Mississauga (or anywhere in Canada), so you can turn hours in the sky into your most productive — and relaxing — time of day.
When Amelia’s assistant rang at 5:45 a.m. to say her Vancouver board meeting had been bumped up two hours, she didn’t scramble for a spot on a packed red-eye. She picked up the phone, tapped out a quick message to NovaJet, and by 10 a.m. was settled into her favourite seat on a Challenger 350, latte in hand. With that kind of freedom, you’re not just travelling — you’re turning a jet cabin into your personal command centre, lounge and retreat all at once. Here are nine ways to make every minute on board count.
So, here's what you need to know: hourly pricing isn’t fixed. It’s a calculation based on the aircraft, where it’s based, how far you're flying, and what kind of trip you're trying to pull off. But we do have benchmarks. We see the same patterns again and again. This article gives you real numbers, grounded explanations, and practical insight into what goes into the private jet cost per hour — without dodging the details.
