On the Colombo – Delhi route, availability shifts by the hour: an aircraft returning empty to base can be offered well below list price. Indira Gandhi International is constant government and industrial flow.
The Cessna Citation CJ3+ positioned on this route offers 7 seats and a cruise speed of 780 km/h, giving 3 h 28 door-to-door over the 2,395 km segment.
The €12,100 figure is all-inclusive for the whole aircraft: crew, fuel, landing and parking fees, operator's insurance, standard catering and handling at both ends. Specific passenger taxes, premium catering requests and ground transfers are quoted separately and confirmed before the charter contract is issued.
Demand is not linear: trade shows, holiday periods and major sporting events concentrate movements and make slots scarce. Conversely, mid-week lulls multiply empty return flights. It is precisely in these windows that the best quotes appear on this route.
An empty leg is the repositioning of an aircraft after a mission. The operator already bears the fuel cost, crew and fees: reselling the segment at €12,100 rather than flying it empty remains rational for them. The trade-off is simple: the time window is narrow and the offer disappears as soon as a full charter is confirmed on the same aircraft.
This segment is advertised for departure within 72 h. On a route such as Colombo – Delhi, the average lifespan of a repositioning offer is measured in hours, not days. A request submitted before midday typically receives an operator confirmation the same day, subject to crew availability and slot allocation.
The Cessna Citation CJ3+ generally accepts cabin and hold luggage for all 7 seats, within limits specific to each airframe. Ski equipment, golf clubs, fragile instruments or pets in the cabin: mention it in your request, and the operator will confirm feasibility before any firm booking.
About 3 h 28 of block time for 2,395 km, excluding taxi delays. Add around twenty minutes of departure formalities and five to ten minutes on arrival.
Technically, a departure can be arranged in four to six hours if an aircraft and crew are available. In practice, confirming twenty-four hours ahead secures slots at Colombo and Delhi much more reliably.
For the whole aircraft. The 7 seats of the Cessna Citation CJ3+ are included in the stated amount: the cost per passenger falls automatically as more travellers board.
