Get Instant Pricing On 23,000+ Aircraft
The operating cost of a private jet includes all ongoing expenses necessary to keep the aircraft flight-ready, separate from the initial purchase price, which can range from $2 million to over $90 million. Annual operating costs vary significantly by aircraft type, with very light jets costing around $500,000–$1 million and larger jets reaching $2–4 million+, heavily influenced by fuel expenses, which account for 25–35% of total costs. For travelers flying fewer than 200–300 hours annually, on-demand charter services like Jettly are often more cost-effective than ownership, as they eliminate fixed costs associated with crew, hangar fees, and insurance. Jettly provides access to over 20,000 aircraft worldwide, allowing users to pay only for the flights they take, simplifying budgeting and reducing the financial burden of private jet ownership.

Arrow Air Flight 1285 crashed on December 12, 1985, shortly after takeoff from Gander, Newfoundland, resulting in the deaths of all 256 people on board, making it Canada's deadliest aviation disaster.
