In 2026, private aviation travelers must choose between multi-year aircraft leases and on-demand services like Jettly, with leasing offering personalized service at a significantly higher cost. Average annual lease costs range from $500,000 to several million, depending on jet type and lease terms, with monthly payments for light jets at $80,000–$160,000 and large jets exceeding $1 million. Additional costs, including fuel, crew salaries, and maintenance, can increase total expenses by 30–60%. For those flying less than 200 hours annually, on-demand charters may be more economical, while frequent flyers may benefit from leasing for predictable travel needs.

While he has long been associated with the Gulfstream G550, the economics of private aviation suggest that flexible access can be more efficient than whole-aircraft ownership for travelers flying fewer than several hundred hours per year. His evolving schedule illustrates why depreciation, fixed operating costs, productivity, and fleet flexibility increasingly shape how ultra-high-net-worth travelers approach private aviation.
