Private aviation is a great way to travel with convenience, comfort and style, but for all of its obvious exclusive, it tends to cost more than flying commercial. With so many pricing models on the market, it can be difficult to decide which one is best for your needs. In this article, we’ll discuss the different pricing models available in private aviation and compare them side-by-side so you can determine which one is right for you.
Chartering a flight one time
The most basic and simplest pricing option for chartering a flight is to pay for a single trip, whether it’s one-way or round-trip. Chartering a private flight normally costs between $2,000 and $5,000 per hour, but this is just a general estimate. Depending on the size of the aircraft and the length of the journey, prices may vary. This option supplies you with an entire plane and crew just for your party, so it’s ideal if you’re looking for flexibility and exclusivity.
Chartering an empty leg
Chartering an empty leg flight is one of the most cost-effective ways to fly private if your plans are flexible. An empty leg flight is an aircraft that has been booked for a single, one-way trip. These flights are often offered at a discounted rate because in some cases, the plane will be returning to its original destination, regardless of whether anyone is on board. They are great for travelers looking for a quick and low-cost way to get to a particular destination. The availability of these flights can be unpredictable since they often depend on the changing needs of charter customers and the aircraft operators.
Chartering an empty leg flight comes with its own set of benefits – primarily savings – while also allowing travelers more convenient flight options than many traditional airlines cannot offer.
Buying a jet card
Jet cards are prepaid packages that provide discounted rates when flying privately. They let customers buy blocks of hours in advance then redeem them against future flights. Rates will vary, and in some cases, this can save travelers money. However, there are also numerous disadvantages of jet cards and they can ultimately cost more in the end. It is important to carefully weigh the pros and cons of jet cards before purchasing one.
Fractional ownership
Fractional ownership allows customers to invest in private jets through purchasing shares between 1/16th and 1/4th of ownership in an aircraft; each owner only has exclusive rights to fly their portion for certain periods throughout the year, such as four weeks every quarter. Fractional ownership is sometimes recommended only if customers fly frequently enough throughout the year in order to make back any initial investments made upfront. For this reason alone other disadvantages, travelers are often better off exploring other options.
