How Much Does it Cost to Charter a Private Jet

People who are interested in getting private jet charter services often ask how much does it cost to charter a private jet. The question can be considered as a necessity particularly because of the associated prohibitive cost of renting an executive jet.

Among the people who often rent jet helicopters or jet aircraft are politicians and celebrities whose tight schedules require them to travel from one place to another in a short period of time.

If it will be your first time to rent for a jet flight, the following information on aircraft charter and their jet aviation rental cost can be helpful:

Calculating private jet charter costs

Private jet charter companies may follow different guidelines when calculating private jet charter rates. However, the private jet charter cost can be estimated by considering the length of flight, the hourly rate for the jet planes, and the expenses. An estimated four-hour private rental for example will be calculated based on the flight time multiplied by the hourly rate that is generally charged by jet aviation companies. Note that the length of the business jet flight is estimated using the round trip flight time and is dependent on the speed of the aircraft, the typical winds, and air traffic. Hourly rates for renting a Boeing jet will generally depend on the private jet charter pricing that will be given by the jet charter companies. Private jet charter prices and rates also often depend on the aircraft class and the aircraft size. Light or small jet planes generally charge lesser than medium jets and full-size jets. Small jets charge an average of more or less $3,200 for an hour of flight while heavy jets can charge as much as $4,500 per hour.

Traveling Expenses

The length of the flight and the rates of jet charter companies will be important factors in determining the cost of renting a jet. There are other expenses, however, that also need to be added to the total cost of chartering a private jet. Expenses during the flight will generally pay for and this will be added to the private jet charter pricing. These expenses may include the cost of catering, permits which are often required when a business jet is chartered for international travel, overnight fees, and landing fees. In addition to this, usage of the flight phone which is generally included in charter jet planes will also be charged.

    Yes, I'm with a charter company, The Early Air Way (www.theearlyairway.com). No, I'm not here to try and sell my product though. I came across this article and felt compelled to correct the costs mentioned. Small jets will start around $1,900 an hour, not $3,200 as it states. Larger heavy jets will top out at about $9,000/hour for something like a Global Express. Bear in mind that is most (not all) cases, you'll have to pay these rates when the plane in flying with or without you onboard for your trip. In other words, if it has to position back to base after dropping you off, you'll often have to pay for that flight unless you have secured a deadhead. There are programs that offer "no ferry fees," which basically just have hourly rates that are twice as much to cover said ferry fees.
