How Yond prices a private jet
Every price on Yond comes from the same engine: it prices your trip on each of 4,922 real aircraft, the way an operator would build a quote, and shows the range you can realistically expect.
Who we are
Yond is a private aviation information and referral service operated by Private Jet Rental and Charter Marketplace LLC. We are not an air carrier or a charter broker and do not sell, arrange or operate flights. When you send a request in the Yond app, it goes to independent charter brokers through TailDirect; the flight is sold by a broker or operator and operated by a certificated carrier.
The data
The engine runs on a database of 4,922 aircraft from charter operators' public certificates and fleets — category, home base, current position from flight tracking, speed, range and seats — together with fuel prices, airport and navigation charges, permits and holiday calendars, refreshed several times a day.
How an estimate is made
- 1The flight. Distance along the real route — around closed airspace, through fuel stops where the range runs out — with monthly mean winds aloft, at the aircraft's own speed and hourly rate.
- 2Positioning. The aircraft is flown in from where it is parked, and flown out afterwards, from its base or its current position.
- 3Fees and taxes. Landing and handling, air-navigation charges per country, permits, and taxes such as the US federal excise tax.
- 4Crew and dates. Crew duty limits, overnights, holiday peaks and last-minute premiums.
- 5Four scenarios. The aircraft stays with you, its trip home is resold, it flies home empty, or it flies on empty to its next job. The price range runs from the likeliest low to the realistic high across them.
What an estimate is not
An estimate is a planning figure, not an offer, a quote or a promise of availability. The final price comes from the broker or operator and depends on the aircraft actually free on your dates.
