PRIVATE JET COMPARISONS
Fractional Light Jet Programs
- Typically you are buying a 1/16 to 1/4 share in a light jet. You can expect to pay from $300,000 up to $500,000 up front for that share for a three year commitment.
- If you total all of the owner share values, the owners are over paying for the plane by a factor of two to three times the planes market value.
- In addition each share owner pays a monthly management fee starting at $8,000 to $10,000 per month.
- Finally, you are charged for your actual usage of the aircraft at an hourly rate of $1,900 to $2,200 per hour.
- Total yearly usage of 100 hours will cost you in excess of $400,000 per year or $4,000 per hour.
Part 135 Light Jet Charter
- Dues plus annual membership fees must be paid before you can access an aircraft. These fees are often in excess of $40,000.
- After paying dues and annual membership fee, you are billed 4500-8000 per hour depending on the aircraft.
- Most make you commit to a single aircraft, so you lose the flexibility of having multiple aircraft types at your disposal. The midsize business jet may be great for the week, but a lighter jet or turboprop may get you to the airport closest to your weekend lake house. With Southeast Jet Lease, there are always multiple aircraft types at your disposal.
