Cost of private jets per hour

Private jet costs per hour for these aircraft typically range from $2,500 to $8,000, based on aircraft type and locations. Bombardier's Learjet 45, for example, is a very small mid-jet and is better rated by many as a super-size lightweight jet. Remember that private jet charter in the United States almost always guarantees a low end rate as there is enormous competitive pressure in the private jet charter world.

Medium sized aircraft are no exception to this regulation and can be hired for a reasonable rental charge. Hourly rates below are exact, but do not cover other charges such as take-off and landings, crewing charges, accommodation and stand-by charges (if any) and much more.

Prices here are intended to indicate an estimate for the charter of a particular jet in comparison to another jet in its class. Medium size aircraft have an hourly charter rates for private aircraft about twice as high as a lightweight, and about half the charter rates for large aircraft.

Although they cannot fly up to large aircraft, medium-sized aircraft still have very cool staterooms, generally designed for 8-12 occupants in a convenient layout. Medium size aircraft, while designed for the same general cabin size as a lightweight jet, have much broader and longer staterooms, which in turn makes the medium size jet flight more of a big jet flight than anything else.

Naturally, medium size jumpers fill the gaps to larger and broader staterooms.
