In 2026, pre-owned Gulfstream IV aircraft prices range from approximately US$1.8M to US$5.7M, influenced by factors like age, maintenance status, and avionics upgrades. Charter rates through platforms like Jettly typically cost between US$7,000 and US$10,000+ per flight hour, making chartering more economical than ownership for those flying under 200-250 hours annually. Total annual ownership costs can exceed US$1.5M for operators flying over 200 hours, highlighting the importance of evaluating both acquisition and operational expenses. Jettly offers flexible charter options, allowing users to access Gulfstream IV capabilities without the financial commitment of ownership.
