Private Jet Operating Costs. Calculated from Real Operator Data.

The true cost of owning a private jet extends well beyond the purchase price. Fuel, engine reserves, airframe maintenance, crew, hangar, insurance, and subscriptions compound into a number that surprises most first-time owners — and challenges even experienced ones when switching aircraft categories. This calculator covers direct operating costs per flight hour across 140+ turbine aircraft — from VLJ and light jets through midsize, super midsize, large cabin, ultra long range, and turboprop — with fixed cost overlay for a complete annual picture. Run the numbers before you run the aircraft.
