Cessna 402C Overview

The Cessna 402C is a light twin-engine aircraft that debuted in 1966, replacing previous Cessna models, and remained in production until 1985. The Cessna 402C is designed to transport passengers and cargo via an eight seats cabin, or alternatively seven passengers with one additional seat which can be folded away to increase forward baggage space. It has two Continental TSIO-520-NB engines and a fixed tricycle landing gear, as well as an auxiliary fuel system with both tanks located behind the rear seats. With its advanced features such as directional gyroscope, auto pilot and King KX-170B series nav/coms functions, the Cessna 402C is easy to maintain and suitable for both private and commercial operators.

Cessna 402C Charter Cost and Hourly Rates

Chartering a Cessna 402C typically runs in the range of $ to $ per flight hour, though the figure you are quoted depends on several factors. Rates move with the route, the season, repositioning (or ferry) time, airport fees, crew costs, and how a specific aircraft is equipped. Peak travel periods and one-way trips that leave an aircraft far from its base tend to sit at the higher end, while round trips and flights that align with an operator's existing schedule can come in lower.

It also helps to understand how charter pricing is structured. Most quotes are built around occupied flight hours plus those repositioning costs, landing and handling fees, taxes, and crew expenses. Because Jettly is a charter marketplace rather than an aircraft operator, you can compare live quotes from multiple and book the option that fits your route and budget.

Empty-leg flights, the discounted repositioning trips that operators are keen to fill, can also bring the cost of a Cessna 402C down significantly when the timing works in your favor. For an exact, current price on your specific trip, request a quote, and you will see real availability rather than an estimate.
