Get Instant Pricing On 23,000+ Aircraft
In 2026, the cost of jet aircraft varies significantly, with new private jets priced from $2 million for very light jets to over $400 million for customized VIP airliners, while charter rates range from $1,500 to $28,000 per hour based on aircraft type. For most business travelers, chartering is more economical than ownership, especially for those flying fewer than 200-300 hours annually, as ownership entails substantial fixed and variable costs. Jettly, a digital private jet charter platform, offers a transparent marketplace for on-demand bookings, allowing users to compare costs and access over 20,000 aircraft globally. Key strategies for reducing costs include choosing the right aircraft size, being flexible with travel times, and utilizing empty leg flights.
