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.
