In 2026, potential buyers of private jets must weigh the costs of ownership against chartering options, with ownership typically making financial sense only for those flying over 200-250 hours annually. The purchase price for jets ranges from approximately $2M for older light jets to over $75M for new large-cabin models, with annual operating costs potentially exceeding $1M. For many travelers, especially those flying less frequently, using a charter service like Jettly is often more economical and flexible, allowing access to a wide range of aircraft without the long-term financial commitments of ownership. This guide aims to help executives and frequent travelers make informed decisions by understanding the true costs and benefits associated with both purchasing and chartering private jets.
