Private Jet Hong Kong to Taipei

The departure end carries a round-the-clock record

Hong Kong International is flagged in our data for 24-hour operations and for customs facilities. On this route those two flags describe the point of departure, which means our record places no closing time on the outbound end of the mission. What it does not describe is permits, slots or ground handling, none of which we hold for VHHH.

Taoyuan is the opposite case. Customs, 24-hour operations and FBO presence are all unrecorded on our side, and rather than guess we publish nothing about them. The operating picture for this pair is asymmetric: documented at the start, silent at the finish.

Eighty-nine minutes, with the shorter surface at the far end

806 km and a stored block of 89 minutes give an implied average close to 543 km/h, ground movement included. Hong Kong records 3,800 m of runway and Taoyuan 3,660 m, so the smaller of the two figures — the one that frames the mission — belongs to the arrival. There is no published length rule by category on our side, and these two values should not be turned into one.

Elevation runs 28 ft where the flight begins and 108 ft where it ends. Both feed performance planning; we record the numbers and stop there.

Range plays no part

At 806 km the sector uses under a third of the 2,500 km we credit to the light category, and far less of midsize, heavy and ultra long range. Wind, payload and reserve fuel all sit outside those catalogue figures, but no allowance for them changes the verdict at this distance.

What the price ladder is actually buying

Indicative estimates: 6,500 EUR light, 7,500 EUR midsize, 11,000 EUR heavy, 18,000 EUR ultra long range. Since no rung is doing work on reach, the 11,500 EUR spread between the cheapest and the dearest maps onto cabin and capacity instead — 7 seats, then 10, 16 and 19. Per kilometre the same four amounts read 8.06, 9.31, 13.65 and 22.33. What separates the categories in cabin terms is described in the category guide.

These amounts come out of Flyius pricing-v8, which reads distance together with comparable published routes, in EUR. They are estimates, not quotes. Positioning, availability, handling, airport charges, taxes, crew and the requested dates all shift the final number; the binding figure is the one an operator puts in writing for the mission.
