In 2026, private aviation travelers must choose between multi-year aircraft leases and on-demand services like Jettly, with leasing offering personalized service at a significantly higher cost. Average annual lease costs range from $500,000 to several million, depending on jet type and lease terms, with monthly payments for light jets at $80,000–$160,000 and large jets exceeding $1 million. Additional costs, including fuel, crew salaries, and maintenance, can increase total expenses by 30–60%. For those flying less than 200 hours annually, on-demand charters may be more economical, while frequent flyers may benefit from leasing for predictable travel needs.

Leasing a private jet can be simplified by understanding the key differences between wet and dry leases. Wet leases provide a fully-staffed and managed aircraft, ideal for short trips or those new to private flying, though they may face international restrictions. Dry leases offer control and flexibility, suitable for experienced users with long-term plans, but require personal crew management and regulatory compliance. Ultimately, selecting the right lease depends on your specific needs, budget, and goals, ensuring a tailored and efficient travel experience.

On-demand booking allows for flexibility and cost-effectiveness by letting you choose specific aircraft and see all fees upfront without long-term commitments. However, it requires fully booking each flight and lacks the discounts of pre-paid jet cards. Jettly combines both benefits by offering private jet cards that roll over unused hours and provide access to a vast fleet, making it a versatile option for private travel. Contact Jettly for more information on their jet card programs.
