HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO FLY PRIVATE?

 

More than ever before the demand for private jet travel has increased. There are now many options to charter a private jet other than simply purchasing one. The easiest place to start is with a Private Jet Company like International Jet.

WHO FLIES PRIVATE?

Celebrities, business people, and wealthy individuals have always been known to fly private. Almost everyone has dreamed of flying private. Although this might be something you never thought you could do, it is not more affordable than ever. Rather than suffer through cramped seats, annoying airport check-in, and more, you can maintain privacy and safety.

HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO BUY A PRIVATE JET?

The top of the line in private jet travel is those who have the funds to purchase their own jet. Private jets come in a range of prices which depends on the make, model, and age of the jet. These jets can cost anywhere from several hundred thousand dollars, to millions of dollars. When it is cheaper, it will usually be an older jet but still functioning. You can also get a brand new jet for a much higher price tag.
The main cost of an aircraft is obviously the initial price, but afterward, the upkeep is also somewhere around multiple millions of dollars per year. This investment is a lot, so that is why there are new options when it comes to private jet travel…chartering a jet. This comes at a bit lower cost and now there are many new options to make this possible for more than just the super-wealthy.

PRIVATE JET MEMBERSHIPS

If you have the ability to pay for a private jet membership, there are options starting as low as $2,999 ranging up to $100,000 to $200,000. Usually, this provides you a lower cost per hour. This will also include a specific number of flights annually. This is still an investment, but a lot cheaper than purchasing your own.

COST TO CHARTER A PRIVATE JET

Chartering a private jet is done hourly, and you should expect to pay between $1,300 and $3,000 per flying hour. Although this may seem reasonable, this is the price for up to six passengers on a turboprop or smaller jet plane. If you need a midsized jet, or simply prefer to fly on a larger plane, then you would be paying up to $8000 per flying hour. This can accommodate up to 9 passengers. If your budget is a bit higher, then you will be able to bring anywhere from 14 to 19 passengers.
