Frequently asked questions about the cost

How much does it cost to operate the Cessna Citation Latitude per hour?

Jet Tracker estimate: about US$ 7,880 per flight hour at 200 h/year, of which US$ 4,310 per hour is variable cost (fuel, engine program, maintenance reserves, fees) plus US$ 714,000 per year of fixed cost (crew, hangar, insurance, training).

How much does it cost per year to keep the Cessna Citation Latitude flying 200 hours?

About US$ 1,575,942 per year (roughly R$ 8,924,404 at today's exchange rate), of which 55% is variable cost (depends on hours flown) and 45% is fixed cost (exists even with the aircraft parked).

How much fuel does the Cessna Citation Latitude burn per hour, in cost?

About US$ 2,049 per flight hour, at the US$ 6.52 per gallon used in this simulation. Fuel is usually the largest variable cost item.

How much does the Cessna Citation Latitude cost per nautical mile?

About US$ 17.67 per nautical mile, at a cruise speed of 446 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.
