Chartering for the average individual is out of the question due to cost and unless you're well known to the charter company, they too may give you a similar screening. Charter rates are typically by the hour, but if you had to break it down it's somewhere around $5- $10.00 a mile. Our direct operating costs (DOC) on an 8 passenger average size jet alone run $3.35 a mile and charter is often 3 to 4 times DOCs.
Eclipse Aviation is working on a jet taxi service, but I have my doubts given that it's not caught on with other aircraft in the past.
