Frequently asked questions about the cost

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

Jet Tracker estimate: about US$ 3,316 per flight hour at 200 h/year, of which US$ 1,764 per hour is variable cost (fuel, engine program, maintenance reserves, fees) plus US$ 310,480 per year of fixed cost (crew, hangar, insurance, training).

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

About US$ 663,217 per year (roughly R$ 3,698,428 at today's exchange rate), of which 53% is variable cost (depends on hours flown) and 47% is fixed cost (exists even with the aircraft parked).

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

About US$ 812 per flight hour, at the US$ 6.24 per gallon used in this simulation. Fuel is usually the largest variable cost item.

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

About US$ 7.80 per nautical mile, at a cruise speed of 425 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.
