One way empty legs between Calgary and Vancouver, exactly as the operators list them. Prices are the operator's own, not a marked up quote.
Straight line distance between the two cities. Actual routing and flight time depend on the aircraft and the airports.
Calgary and Vancouver are the two ends of the western Canadian corporate run, an hour and a bit apart with the Rockies in between. Of the 34 legs we recorded touching Calgary, 14 involved Vancouver, more than Regina and Kelowna together. It looks the same from the other side: 14 of the 27 legs touching Vancouver were Calgary.
One operator, Chartright Air Group, listed every leg we have on this corridor. That is managed corporate metal moving between two bases rather than a market of competing charters.
In bursts. Five of the seven legs departed between 4 and 11 August, two of them on the same day, then nothing for nearly three weeks until a pair appeared at the end of the month. The quiet stretch is the point: this corridor produces several at once and then stops.
Approximate corridor between Calgary and Vancouver. Operators fly the sector direct; the airports each listing uses are shown on the flight itself.
Springbank and Boundary Bay are the shorter drives for the mountains and for Delta and Surrey respectively, but neither appeared on a single listing we recorded. Asking for one of them means asking the operator to change the plan, not picking an option off the board.

Every leg we have recorded between Calgary and Vancouver, in either direction, since 30 July 2026, whether it is still on the board or not. A leg leaves the board when the operator stops publishing it, and we cannot tell from outside whether it was sold or withdrawn, so these are counts of what was listed, not of what flew.
One bar per calendar month, from the first month in our record to the furthest date an operator has published so far. Grey bars are months already past, gold is this month and the months ahead. A blank month is a month we have no record for, and before August 2026 that means we were not yet recording. The months ahead hold only what operators have published up to now, and most empty legs appear days or weeks before departure, so those bars will keep growing. The shape says how far ahead operators publish, not how busy a month will be.

Each row is a pair of airports as the operator named them, in the direction flown. Both directions of the corridor are counted. An operator that names only the city leaves us the city, which is why some rows are city names.
The price on a card is the operator's figure for the whole aircraft. What that comes to per seat, across every type we see, is in how much an empty leg private jet costs.
Two of the seven legs carry a published price: a Challenger 604 with twelve seats at CAD 12,000 and a Falcon 2000LX with ten at CAD 11,800. The other five say price on request, so for most of this corridor the figure has to come from the operator.
Both priced legs are the two most recent. Everything from the first half of August was listed without a figure, which is the pattern on this corridor rather than the exception, so do not read those two prices as a going rate. The listed block time does run longer westbound, one hour twelve against one hour six on Vancouver to Calgary.
Ask the operator three things: whether the departure time can still move, what happens if the paid flight that created this empty leg falls through, and which Calgary field you are leaving from.
Calgary to Vancouver empty legs are posted days ahead, not months. Leave your email and we watch both directions for you, Calgary to Vancouver and Vancouver to Calgary, and send you nothing else.
