Utilisation scenarios

Hours per year	Annual budget	Cash cost per hour	Total cost per hour
100	$898,000	$7,680	$8,980
200	$1,110,000	$4,900	$5,550
300	$1,322,000	$3,973	$4,407
500	$1,746,000	$3,232	$3,492

Fixed cost is spread across the hours flown, so the effective hourly cost falls sharply with utilisation.

Ownership versus charter, cards and fractional

Indicative annual cost of flying 200 hours on a Cessna Citation Citation V-class aircraft.

Whole aircraft ownership

$980,000 – $1,110,000/ year

$4,900 – $5,550 per hour

You own and operate the aircraft; full control and unlimited availability.

Capital outlay: $3,250,000

Fractional share (1/16)

$184,538 – $238,453/ year

$2,862 – $3,816 per hour

Roughly 50 occupied hours per year with guaranteed availability and a management fee.

Capital outlay: $203,125

Jet card / block hours

$826,800 – $1,102,400/ year

$4,134 – $5,512 per hour

Prepaid hours at a fixed rate; no capital outlay, limited aircraft control.

Capital outlay: None

On-demand charter

$742,000 – $996,400/ year

$3,710 – $4,982 per hour

Pay per trip with no commitment; rates vary by availability and repositioning.

Capital outlay: None

Whole ownership becomes cheaper than comparable charter from roughly 250 hours per year.

Operating cost estimates are illustrative and may vary materially by utilisation, location, maintenance programme, fuel price and aircraft condition.
