Frequently asked questions about the cost
How much does it cost to operate the Bombardier Challenger 601-1A per hour?
Jet Tracker estimate: about US$ 7,277 per flight hour at 200 h/year, of which US$ 4,233 per hour is variable cost (fuel, engine program, maintenance reserves, fees) plus US$ 608,800 per year of fixed cost (crew, hangar, insurance, training).
How much does it cost per year to keep the Bombardier Challenger 601-1A flying 200 hours?
About US$ 1,455,400 per year (roughly R$ 8,030,897 at today's exchange rate), of which 58% is variable cost (depends on hours flown) and 42% is fixed cost (exists even with the aircraft parked).
How much fuel does the Bombardier Challenger 601-1A burn per hour, in cost?
About US$ 2,108 per flight hour, at the US$ 6.20 per gallon used in this simulation (reference price, not today's quote). Fuel is usually the largest variable cost item.
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.
