Hourly rates, crew fees, fuel costs, airport fees, and taxes make up the average private jet charter cost.
HOURLY RATES: The biggest driver of price in the jet charter industry is the hourly rate of the aircraft. Hourly jet charter rates begin with the Direct Operating Cost of the aircraft, which includes maintenance, fuel, and wear and tear on the engines.
CREW FEES: Pilots get paid by the day to fly the plane—if your trip keeps them overnight somewhere, you also pay their hotel fees and per diem.
FUEL: Fuel costs vary by airport, and different planes consume fuel at different rates, so these fees vary by the jet you’re chartering, and the route you’re flying.
AIRPORT FEES: Airports charge fees to receive, handle, and store private planes. These costs vary by airport, plane type, and time of year.
TAXES: Domestic charter flights are taxed by the US government—a Federal Excise Tax of 7.5% is charged on top of the total charter flight cost. Taxes for international flights vary by country.
A reputable jet charter broker will ensure these fees are thoroughly understood by their clients. When evaluating quotes for your private travel, be sure to ask your provider if all relevant fees are accounted for upfront, to avoid surprise charges at the last minute.
