Average per hour charter price is from €3,500 to €4,500. Actual flight price depends on route, airport fees, jet fuel price, aircraft model, availability of aircraft at departure airport or ferry flight needed, number of passengers and demand on the market due to season or events.

Price of new midsize jets is around 13 – 15 million USD. 10-year-old models have an average price tag of 9 – 10 million USD.

Medium size private jets usually have from 6 to 9 passenger seats. However, on some models comfortable seating capacity is less. For example, Hawker 900XP has 8 seats with 3 on a divan and 1 on the opposing individual seats. For flight longer then 1.5 hours it is comfortable to have not more than 6 passengers on board.

Hawker 900XP has the most space in terms of dimensions and in terms of impression. However, Hawkers are not in production any longer and their availability for charter decreases. Cessna XLS+ offer optimal combination of passenger space and luggage area.
