How can a private jet make you money?
Can I have two planes, one 420 and then one 48? So you want one airplane that goes from London to Dubai and one airplane that does basically Western Europe?
Yeah, my father runs the business. I'm glad that he let me do this dealing. How many hours do you think you're going to fly a year?
In a week, I'm traveling at least two times, 200 hours a year.
Yeah, the fixed cost to that kind of an airplane is probably somewhere around $7,800,000, and if you can rent it out 200 hours a year, $2,000 an hour, it's $400,000 a year you can make in profit.
What are jets I can get in this budget? So let's look at the possibilities. This is everything that can hold eight people that's $8 million or less. Citation 10, anywhere between $2.5 and $6 million, and then the Sovereign, they go from $9 million down to $5 million. You'll be able to buy a Challenger 604 for $6.7 million.
It's a much bigger airplane, but your operating cost will be higher. For example, the Sovereign will cost you about $4,400 an hour; Challenger 604, 50% more. If you find $200 a year and $4,500.
