Xoprivate Thousands of people all over the United States discovered the benefits of air charter. And every day, more travelers are discovering just how smart charter can be. It’s easier than ever to become part of the jet set. For those who fly privately, price is often no object. Space, distance and safety are hallmarks of private planes, but today there are also added perks like gourmet catering, in-flight yoga and massages, and state of the art entertainment. Also onboard are cashmere blankets, crystal and broadband wireless internet. Light jet prices range from $1500 and $2300 per hour. Some of the most popular include the Beech Jet 400A, Citation Bravo, Cessna CJ2, and Lear Jet 31. Midsized jet prices range from $2400-$3600. Some of the most popular include, the Hawker 700/800, Learjet 55/60, Falcon 20/200 and Gulfstream 200. Large jet prices range $3800-$8200 per hour. Some of the most popular include, Gulfstream III/IV/V, Challenger 601/604, Falcon 900/2000, and Global Express.
This pales in comparison to the original cost of the plane, which can easily start at $10 million. Modifications aren’t cheap either for older jets. For those seeking privacy dividers can cost anywhere from $70,000 to $90,000, the espresso machine from $12,000 to $20,000, the TV system $20,000 and wireless Internet $500,000.
