What the calculator covers.

Direct operating costs — fuel, engine reserves, and five-year average maintenance — per flight hour across eight aircraft categories: VLJ, Light Jet, Midsize, Super Midsize, Large Cabin, Ultra Long Range, and Turboprop. Over 140 turbine aircraft represented, from the Cessna Citation M2 through the Gulfstream G700. Fixed ownership costs — crew, hangar, hull and liability insurance, subscriptions, and management fees — are input separately and incorporated into the annual total. Methodology disclosed. Updated quarterly with current fuel pricing and maintenance rate data.

The interactive calculator is on its way. In the meantime, the breakdown below explains exactly what it accounts for — and an OmniJet principal can run the numbers for a specific aircraft today.
