How Much Is a Plane to Buy? (And When Chartering Makes More Sense)
The cost of buying a plane varies widely, with used two-seat trainers starting around $15,000 and new large business jets exceeding $75 million. Buyers must also consider ongoing expenses, which can equal or surpass the purchase price over time, including maintenance, fuel, insurance, and crew salaries, with annual operating costs often ranging from $500,000 to over $1 million. For those flying less than 150 hours annually, chartering through platforms like Jettly may be more cost-effective than ownership, as it eliminates asset risk and maintenance responsibilities.

Plane operating costs encompass the ongoing expenses necessary to keep an aircraft operational, distinct from its purchase price. These costs vary significantly by aircraft type, with small pistons costing around $150–$250 per flight hour, while heavy jets can exceed $8,000 per hour. For travelers flying less than 150–200 hours annually, chartering through platforms like Jettly is often more economical than ownership, which involves substantial fixed and variable costs.
