BEST VALUE
Light Jet
The Embraer Phenom 100EV clears both runways and has range headroom on the 987 nm leg without stepping up into a larger, more expensive cabin — the lowest hourly cost that still handles this pair reliably.
Indicative all-in €7,700
MOST POPULAR
Midsize
Midsize aircraft like the Cessna Citation VII are the workhorse of Amsterdam–Corfu — they hit the sweet spot on cabin comfort, block time and cost that the majority of charterers pick.
Indicative all-in €9,800
FASTEST
Super Midsize
On 987 nm the Bombardier Challenger 300 carries the highest cruise speed in the eligible short-list. The saving is roughly 19 minutes of block time against the smallest eligible class — worth it on a same-day return, marginal otherwise.
Indicative all-in €11,300

On Amsterdam → Corfu, aircraft positioning is the biggest lever on price today.
PRICE DRIVERS
Aircraft based off-route are repositioned to Amsterdam before pickup — the shorter that leg, the more competitive the quote.
If the aircraft can't pick up a return charter from Corfu, the empty repositioning leg is baked into your quote.
Landing, handling and ramp fees on AMS–CFU are set field by field — AMS and CFU each carry their own coordinated-airport surcharge profile.
Across 987 nm the fuel uplift is a bounded line item on AMS–CFU, not the driver of the quote.
Amsterdam → Corfu demand cycles pull the 987 nm sector off its low band on peak weeks.
Ramp capacity at CFU constrains the lift available for 987 nm inbounds from Amsterdam — operators quote accordingly.
Weather rarely re-prices AMS–CFU beyond marginal fuel adjustments over 987 nm.
Slot coordination at CFU — peak-season Saturdays especially — forces earlier commitment on Amsterdam departures and raises handling on AMS–CFU.
At 987 nm, AMS–CFU sits far inside a single crew duty period — no augmented crew cost.
Overnight parking at CFU is normally available and adds a defined ramp and handling fee to the AMS–CFU quote.
SAVING OPPORTUNITIES
Saving levers on Amsterdam → Corfu
If the aircraft is already positioned closer to another Amsterdam-area field, using it reduces positioning cost and often trims 5–15% off the quote.
Alternative arrivals near CFU can trim handling and slot pressure on AMS–CFU — see the airport comparison above.
AMS ↔ CFU (987 nm) is a corridor we monitor for empty legs — set an alert and match one when your dates flex.
Departing 2–4 hours off the peak slot window at AMS drops handling and slot fees on the 987 nm run to CFU.
987 nm is inside super-midsize range, so a category step down from heavy metal on AMS–CFU cuts the quote with almost identical cabin comfort.

Nonstop feasibility
Well within super-midsize range — comfortably nonstop on this corridor.
Typical flight level
FL370–FL430 across 987 nm on AMS–CFU
Typical routing
Direct AMS–CFU routing, 987 nm great-circle with negligible airway detour.
Runway
7,792 ft (shorter of AMS and CFU) accommodates super-midsize and heavy jets on typical payloads.
Fuel stop likelihood
No fuel stop on 987 nm; AMS–CFU is a single-sector mission for every class we quote.
Cabin service
Light catering only — 987 nm block time leaves no window for a galley service.
Best departure time
Mid-morning (10:00–12:00) departure from AMS clears the weekday slot peak and lands CFU before midday handling pressure.

€6,600 – €12,900
Light Jet through Super Midsize over 987 nm AMS–CFU, all-in of landing, handling, crew and fuel surcharge. Weekend and peak-season departures out of AMS sit at the upper end.
Price stand: August 2026. AMS–CFU quotes move with fuel, crew duty and slot availability — we re-price at the point of booking.
AMS–CFU supply — workable
AMS — 56 archived movements (28 out / 28 in) from 14 operators. CFU — 36 archived movements (22 out / 14 in) from 9 operators. The thinner end sets the price on AMS–CFU: 24–48h notice materially improves the quote.
Positioning into Amsterdam (AMS)
When the based fleet is committed, the next AMS–CFU lift comes from EHAM (0 nm, 8 aircraft), EHRD (24 nm, 2 aircraft), EHLE (29 nm, 6 aircraft). Those ferries add roughly 20–45 minutes of billed time, which is why identical requests can quote differently on the same day.
Positioning into Corfu (CFU)
When the based fleet is committed, the next AMS–CFU lift comes from LYPG (168 nm, 1 aircraft), LGMG (189 nm, 6 aircraft), LGAV (214 nm, 15 aircraft). Those ferries add roughly 20–45 minutes of billed time, which is why identical requests can quote differently on the same day.
Global 7500 / Gulfstream G650 on a short sector
Over 987 nm an ultra-long-range cabin bills roughly €8,100/hour for a flight measured in single-digit hours, and rarely repositions economically to this pair. You pay ULR money for a cabin you cannot use.
Empty Legs
Repositioning legs departing AMS within 14 days, priced per aircraft for up to 19 seats.
