Get Instant Pricing On 23,000+ Aircraft
Understanding the costs of private airplanes involves three main components: chartering flights, purchasing an aircraft, and ongoing operational expenses. In 2026, charter rates range from approximately $2,000 to over $14,000 per hour, while purchase prices for new jets start at around $3.5 million and can exceed $81 million for ultra-long-range models. Annual operating costs can reach $500,000 to $2 million or more, depending on the aircraft type and usage, making chartering more cost-effective for those flying fewer than 200-250 hours annually. Jettly offers a digital marketplace for on-demand private jet charters, providing transparent pricing and flexibility without the burdens of ownership.
