Michael, a blogger, has posted a list of large business jets, and a few pointers to keep in mind, including these bits:
“Your jet operator can look after all aspects of the management of the aircraft including certification for around $120k - $250k. They can also charter out the plane when not in use - so you will recoup some of the investment. For year end accounting purposes, depreciation will be a factor - Boeing estimate depreciation of $5-6m for their BBJ. With the price of oil heading higher, fuel charges will be considerable - expect to pay from $1,500 upwards per flying hour on fuel. So expect the total operational costs to be at least $2-3m for the year.”
