In 2026, the demand for private aviation remains high, influencing both the purchase prices of small aircraft and charter rates. Ownership of a small plane can cost between $30,000 and over $500,000 initially, with annual operating costs reaching $16,000 to $30,000, making chartering via platforms like Jettly more cost-effective for those flying fewer than 100 hours a year. Charter rates start at approximately $300 per hour for piston aircraft and can exceed $4,000 for light jets, with options like empty leg flights offering significant savings. For occasional travelers, chartering provides flexibility and eliminates the fixed costs associated with ownership, making it a more appealing choice for many.
