How to estimate your mission cost

Uses the free Charter Budget & Cost Planner

  1. 1

    Pick corporate, leisure or resources sector

    City-to-cottage / resort legs use short light-twin sectors; cross-border legs move to medium twins for speed.

  2. 2

    Match aircraft to group and range

    Groups of 4–6 with luggage justify a light twin; longer legs move up to medium twins.

  3. 3

    Add cross-border handling if relevant

    US-bound legs require CANPASS / eAPIS filings; the operator captures this in the quote.

  4. 4

    Submit for Transport Canada-approved quotes

    SkyMatch compares approved Canadian operators independently — no preferred-operator markup.
