The price depends on the route, the dates, the season and where the aircraft has to come from. A full charter costs more than an empty leg, because you pay for the flight back too.

The Citation Encore is a light jet from the Citation V family. It has stronger engines, more range and a better interior than the Citation Ultra before it. A typical layout seats seven passengers, and the jet can be flown by one pilot.
The Citation V first flew in August 1987 and was certified in December 1988. Cessna improved it into the Ultra in 1994 and announced the Encore at the NBAA convention in 1998. The Encore was certified on 26 April 2000, and the first delivery was in late September 2000.
The Encore has Pratt & Whitney Canada PW535 engines, a trailing link main landing gear, more range and an updated interior. The Encore+ was certified in December 2006 and offered from 2007 to early 2010. It adds FADEC engine controls and Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 avionics.
Cessna built 168 Encores and 65 Encore+ aircraft. Private owners, companies, fractional and charter operators and aircraft management companies fly them. The US Army and Marine Corps fly military versions called the UC-35B and UC-35D.
