Get Instant Pricing On 23,000+ Aircraft
Chartering a Boeing 747 in 2025–2026 typically costs between $25,000 and $40,000 per flight hour, with total expenses for long-haul flights potentially exceeding $500,000 due to additional fees and services. This option is ideal for large groups (150-400 passengers) needing to travel together for corporate events, sports, or entertainment, where smaller jets are insufficient. Factors influencing costs include aircraft type, route length, seasonal demand, and operational expenses like fuel and crew salaries. Jettly's platform helps clients find the most suitable aircraft and provides transparent pricing, often recommending alternatives for smaller groups to optimize costs.
