The Dornier 328JET is a twin-engine regional jet airliner carrying up to 30 passengers at $5,500-$8,500 per flight hour. It cruises at 404 knots with a 1,000 nautical mile range. The 328JET connects New York-Dallas (850 nm, 2h 20m) and Boston-Miami (990 nm, 2h 30m) nonstop. The cabin measures 33.9 feet long, 7.2 feet wide, and 6'2" tall. Two Pratt & Whitney PW306B turbofans reach 35,000 feet. Fairchild Dornier produced 110 aircraft from 1999 to 2003. Hogani Jets coordinates 328JET charters through licensed Part 135 operators for booking and operations.

Note: The hourly rate is not the total trip cost. Final pricing includes landing and handling fees, crew, overflight permits, and taxes. Variable costs include repositioning, de-icing, wait time, and overnights. Contact Hogani Jets for an accurate all-in quote.

Charter of a Dornier 328JET start at $5,500 to $8,500 per flight hour. Fairchild Dornier produced the 328JET from 1999 to 2003 as a twin-engine regional jet airliner. The 328JET is the jet-powered evolution of the Dornier 328 turboprop. It carries up to 30 passengers across a 1,000 nautical mile range at 404 knots.

The cabin measures 33.9 feet long, 7.2 feet wide, and 6'2" tall in a 1-2 seating configuration. Two Pratt & Whitney Canada PW306B turbofans produce 6,050 pounds of thrust each. The 328JET reaches a 35,000-foot service ceiling at 3,600 fpm climb. Cabin pressurization holds an 8,000-foot equivalent altitude at cruise. Hogani Jets coordinates 328JET charters through licensed Part 135 operators. The 328JET operates from 4,400-foot runways with access to regional airports.

The Dornier 328JET combines jet speed with turboprop-size airport access. At 404 knots, it cruises 70 knots faster than its turboprop predecessor. The 35,000-foot ceiling places it above all weather and commercial turboprop traffic. Yet the 328JET retains the same 33.9-foot cabin with 6'2" headroom and 7.2-foot width.

Thirty passengers fly at jet speed for $5,500-$8,500/hr. Per-person cost for a full charter: $183-$283 per flight hour. A group of 20 on a 2-hour flight pays $550-$850 per person total. These economics compete with business-class commercial airfare on regional routes.

The 328JET requires only 4,400 feet for takeoff. Most regional jets in the 30-seat class need 5,500+ feet. This runway advantage opens secondary airports closer to final destinations. No other 30-seat jet offers this combination of speed, cabin size, and regional airport access.

The Dornier 328JET is a twin-engine pressurized regional jet airliner. Two Pratt & Whitney Canada PW306B turbofans produce 6,050 pounds of thrust each. The aircraft has a maximum takeoff weight of 34,528 pounds. It reaches a service ceiling of 35,000 feet at a 3,600 fpm climb rate. Cabin pressurization maintains an 8,000-foot equivalent altitude during cruise. Cabin noise measures 76 dB depending on cruise speed.

Fairchild Dornier produced 110 aircraft between 1999 and 2003. The 328JET is a re-engined version of the Dornier 328 turboprop with strengthened landing gear and updated avionics. The Envoy 3 VIP variant offers extended range and luxury cabin configurations. Every 328JET charter coordinated by Hogani Jets is operated by FAA Part 135 certificated operators with full operational control.

The 328JET occupies a unique position between turboprops and larger regional jets. Three differences separate it from comparable aircraft.

Turboprop cabin at jet speed: The 328JET shares identical cabin dimensions with the Dornier 328 turboprop. Same 33.9-foot length, 7.2-foot width, and 6'2" headroom. But PW306B turbofans deliver 404-knot cruise versus 335 knots on the turboprop. Passengers get the familiar wide cabin at 20% higher speed.

Highest ceiling in class: At 35,000 feet, the 328JET operates above most weather and air traffic. The Dornier 328 turboprop tops out at 31,000 feet. The Beechcraft 1900D reaches 25,000 feet. This altitude delivers smoother flights, more routing options, and faster cruise speeds.

Shortest runway requirement: The 328JET takes off in 4,400 feet. Comparable 30-seat jets typically need 5,500+ feet. This opens secondary airports inaccessible to larger regional jets. Groups reach destinations closer to their final stop with less ground travel.

The 328JET cabin spans 33.9 feet with 6'2" headroom and 7.2-foot width. Configured in 1-2 seating (three-abreast with center aisle), the 328JET carries 30 passengers with direct aisle access from every seat. The jet-quiet cabin measures 76 dB during cruise.

The cabin pressure maintains an 8,000-foot equivalent altitude during cruise. PW306B turbofans deliver noticeably quieter operation than the turboprop variant. Large oversized windows flood the cabin with natural light. A full-service galley, power outlets, and a private lavatory complete the experience.

Standard cabin layout includes:

1-2 seating configuration (three-abreast, 10 rows for 30 passengers)
6'2" stand-up headroom throughout the cabin
7.2-foot cabin width for spacious three-abreast seating
Overhead storage bins and underseat personal item space
Large oversized windows with natural light
Full-service galley with catering equipment
Enclosed lavatory with full plumbing
Pressurized cargo hold (200 cu ft) accessible in flight

The Envoy 3 VIP configuration seats 8-15 passengers in club layout. Club seating includes a convertible divan, conference tables, entertainment systems, and premium finishes. In-flight Wi-Fi and power outlets are standard on refurbished aircraft.

The 1,000 nm range connects major city pairs across regional and medium-haul networks nonstop. The 328JET thrives on routes under 2.5 hours where jet speed and 30-passenger capacity justify the hourly rate. Typical routes include corporate shuttles, sports team transfers, and VIP group transport.

The 328JET requires runway lengths of 4,400 feet for takeoff and 4,300 feet for landing. This opens hundreds of regional airports across North America and Europe that larger jets cannot access.

Route	ICAO Codes	Est. Flight Time	Notes

The cost to charter a Dornier 328JET is $5,500 to $8,500 per flight hour. Hogani Jets applies the following pricing rule: the hourly rate includes aircraft operation, fuel, crew, and maintenance. Landing and handling fees, taxes, and repositioning are quoted as separate line items. For accurate all-in pricing, contact Hogani Jets with your routing and passenger count.

New York-Dallas one-way charter (850 nm, 2h 20m) runs approximately $8,580-$13,250. Boston-Miami one-way charter (990 nm, 2h 30m) runs approximately $9,170-$14,170. Group of 20 passengers on a 2-hour flight: $5,500-$8,500/hr x 2 = $11,000-$17,000 total / 20 = $550-$850 per person. Full 30-passenger charter: $367-$567 per person.

Round-trip bookings keep the aircraft on standby and avoid repositioning fees. For same-day business trips, round-trip is typically 15-25% cheaper than two one-way charters. Example: New York-Dallas-New York same-day (6 am departure, 9 pm return) costs approximately $26,000-$34,000 all-in versus $34,000+ for two one-way charters.
