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. Ultimately, the decision between buying and chartering should be based on individual flying needs and financial considerations.
