How many pax?

If you do not find a based a/c, you will pay for all the empty flying as well. This could easily double the bill and lead to a two full crew op, adding surface transport costs.

As a ball park figure, in 2002, I was selling 737-500 aircraft to other airlines at a rate of GBP1950-2150 per block hour / 114 seats. They paid for all costs other than Aircraft, Crew, Insuranse and Maintenance (ACIM) on all sectors. even empty.
Fuel burnt was about 2 tonnes per hour, and all other associated costs will be factored in, landing fees, handling fees, Nav fees etc, all the way down to Crew per diems, would be factored into your quote.

If you charter as Joe Public, you will pick up all costs in one single quote, hence how many pax. I doubt any airline would deal direct, so off to a broker you go, add their commission and cancellation fees should you back out for whatever reason.

My guess, not knowing the passenger aircraft market anymore, 15k-20k min.
bottm line, based on 4 block hours.


Next guess

Bored - if the route had been SEN-CWL then it would have been a april fools joke there's no way the shrimpers would ever get to CWL (presuming visit to Millenium Stadium)

I say Purles

A touch harsh on the boys there I feel.

The Mighty Shrimpers know the way to the (jinxed) Millenium Stadium only too well.

Just they always come second

Still, now you have upset me, I am sure Tuesday will cheer me up again

I think you may have a problem as it's Easter. The majority of UK a/c will be fully utilised. Anything that's left over will not be cheap! You could try Air Charter, Pure Aviation,1st Charter.
Good Luck

Try Thomson. They have based aircraft there, and whilst not the best time of year it may be worth asking, on the basis of dont ask, dont get. Other option maybe a Eastern Barbiejet from Humberside, but obviously with less pax.
