Frequently asked questions about the cost
How much does it cost to operate the Cessna 208B Grand Caravan EX per hour?
Jet Tracker estimate: about US$ 1,594 per flight hour at 200 h/year, of which US$ 934 per hour is variable cost (fuel, engine program, maintenance reserves, fees) plus US$ 132,100 per year of fixed cost (crew, hangar, insurance, training).
How much does it cost per year to keep the Cessna 208B Grand Caravan EX flying 200 hours?
About US$ 318,858 per year (roughly R$ 1,759,456 at today's exchange rate), of which 59% is variable cost (depends on hours flown) and 41% is fixed cost (exists even with the aircraft parked).
How much fuel does the Cessna 208B Grand Caravan EX burn per hour, in cost?
About US$ 434 per flight hour, at the US$ 6.67 per gallon used in this simulation. Fuel is usually the largest variable cost item.
How much does the Cessna 208B Grand Caravan EX cost per nautical mile?
About US$ 8.62 per nautical mile, at a cruise speed of 185 kt. It is the right metric to compare aircraft of different speeds on the same route.
What is the difference between variable and fixed cost?
Variable cost only exists when the aircraft flies: fuel, engine program, hourly maintenance reserves and landing fees. Fixed cost exists even with the aircraft in the hangar: crew, hangarage, insurance, training and subscriptions. That is why total cost per hour falls the more hours per year the aircraft flies.
