How much does a private jet cost to hire?

Question

Im travelling from UK to Italy for a wedding with 40 -50 guests. Wondering if anyone knows how to charter a jet and how much it might cost. P.S. Im not rich

Answer 1

u need to be rich m8

Answer 2

It only actually costs around £8000 for a private jet but thats for 30 minutes for 2 people so work it out from there. I used to work in the aviation industry a few years back and its the charges that add up. Its around £150 an hour parking for a plane, fuel can run into thousands of pounds itself, id just forget it.

Answer 3

It generally depends on the size of the aircraft, and the length of the trip. For most smaller jets (Citation V, Ultra) the costs is roughly $3,000 per hour, so a typical trip would run you about $10,000. For a really big jet (Gulfstream V), the costs run around $15,000 per hour, so a typical trip would run you upwards of $50,000 USD. You don't have to be rich to afford a pirvate jet, but it's certainly not the cheapest way to travel. Also, with so many charter services out there, you can typical bid them against each other to get a better price.

Answer 4

The last time i did it it cost £450,000 to hire a converted 747 to fly from the UK to New Zealand and that was for 63 people plus 6 crew (not including the pilots and co-pilots, they were £10,000 extra).



Your best bet would be to approach a budget airline and try to get a discount on a group booking.



Chartering aeroplanes is not a thing you can do cheaply unfortunately.

Answer 5

It all depends where you actually want to go to, what type of aircraft is utilised. If you want dropping off and picking up a week or two later you will have to pay for two empty positioning legs.

If you want to drop me fuller details I can get you some pricings.

It will not be cheap. Try speaking to some of the tour operators group bookings departments you may find it cheaper.

Answer 6

Well, you need to be rich. Otherwise, just browse the online reservation websites for your best price. To charter a private jet will cost anywhere from $10k-$50k.

Answer 7

Well, lots of money I'm sure, but the environmental cost is astronomical. Just take a regular plane, and that's bad enough as it is. Why do you need to charter a jet?

Answer 8

Recently I had to hire a 727 for 45 people and our hourly cost was about $19,000 USD.

Answer 9

Wouldn;t that be nice? Well you;d need to buy some airline staff, pilots, runway time, baggage people,jet fuel and of course the jet for the duration of your trip.



That would probably run you upwards of $150 000



The general basis is, when you have to ask how much it costs, you probably can't afford it. People that hire jets etc don;t look at bank statements.

Answer 10

US$ 5000-10000 thousand an hour.
