Corporate jet hourly cost?

What's the rough hourly cost of operating a high end corporate jet such as a
Gulfstream?

I think its 250,000 to buy in and you get 50 hours a year. If you go
over the 50 hours its 1,200 per hour

If ever the old adage applies, this is it....

"If you have to ask, you probabl;y can't afford it."

He asked about a Gulfstream not a CitationJet.

About $4-5000/hr not including depreciation. You pay for the time for the
jet to get to where you want to start your trip, then for your trip and then
to return to its base, so you will be paying significantly more than that
for the portion where you are on the airplane.

Roger, see if you can find an August 2003 issue of Business Commercial
Aviation lying around the airport. It is the annual Operations issue
and compares total costs of operating turboprops and jets.

This site as cost breakdowns for various types. Use the numbers with a grain
of salt; they use $3.25 @ gallon of Jet-A, $56 an hour for "catering"...

They use $832 an hour for a CitationJet, but I know of some people that are
running about $615 an hour by shopping around.

I met a guy at OSH who manages a fleet of high end corporate jets, we
didnt get into the hourly costs but he did throw out some interesting
numbers:

- annual insurance premium on the G-V was $275,000, with a $700
Million liability limit and $54 million hull value. To go to Germany,
some other special liability coverage was required, at an additional
cost of about $40,000
- even G-V owners long for the latest gadgets - he recently installed
the new infrared HUD, at a cost of $600,000. Said the pilots really
startled the controllers one day because two aircraft in front had
flown the missed approach, and the G-V pilots called the runway in
sight at 10 miles out!
- every day it doesn't fly still costs $10,000

Maybe if your fuel is free. They list $1600/hr for a Citation X which burns
over $900 in fuel per hour. There is no way that crew, maintenance,
overhaul reserves ect costs less than $700/hr.
