Charter a private aircraft for a direct flight between any two points in Australia. Skip the airline schedule and the layovers - operators bid for your trip, you pick the one you like, and you pay through escrow.
Hunter region charter - wine, coal and offshore support.
Charter usually wins on three flight profiles. Groups of four to ten on routes where commercial business class is expensive or connecting; regional and remote destinations the airlines under-serve; and time-sensitive travel where the schedule matters more than the seat price. Below those, commercial usually wins on cost. Above those, charter pulls ahead quickly.
A good Australian charter quote itemises five things: aircraft hours at a per-hour rate, ferry time (the empty leg the aircraft flies to or from your trip), landing and airport fees, crew duty or overnight if applicable, and any inclusions such as catering or ground transfers. The "all-in" price is the sum of these plus GST. Bids on Hangrr always show the split so you can sanity-check the maths.
Single-engine turboprops handle short-range and remote-strip work. Twin turboprops like the King Air 200 are the staple of corporate regional charter in Australia. Light jets like the Citation CJ2 speed up east-coast and trans-continental legs. The operator bidding on your trip picks the aircraft that fits your group size, distance and runway.
Most charter is available with 48-72 hours' notice. Peak holiday periods, long weekends and event weekends (Bathurst, Melbourne Cup, AFL finals, music festivals) compress availability and lift prices - book 2-3 weeks ahead if you can. ASAP requests (under 24 hours) are flagged to operators urgently; expect a smaller pool of bidders but operators with capacity tend to respond fast.
Don’t wait for a perfect listing - request a charter flight from Newcastle and operators in your region will bid.

Standard charter often goes 48-72 hours from request to flight. Peak periods (Whitsundays in winter, ski-season alpine, Cup Week) want 2-4 weeks. ASAP requests under 24 hours are accepted but the operator pool shrinks.
Often, yes. Ferry or "positioning" time is the empty leg the aircraft flies to or from your trip. Operators sometimes discount one-way charter heavily if they have a return leg already booked nearby - mention flexibility on your dates and operators will tell you.
Yes, within the aircraft's payload. Tell us about anything unusual (sports gear, instruments, oversized cargo) in the request so operators can bid with an aircraft that can carry it comfortably.
