Frequently asked questions about the cost

How much does it cost to operate the Learjet 31A per hour?

Jet Tracker estimate: about US$ 4,349 per flight hour at 200 h/year, of which US$ 2,633 per hour is variable cost (fuel, engine program, maintenance reserves, fees) plus US$ 343,125 per year of fixed cost (crew, hangar, insurance, training).

How much does it cost per year to keep the Learjet 31A flying 200 hours?

About US$ 869,771 per year (roughly R$ 4,836,363 at today's exchange rate), of which 61% is variable cost (depends on hours flown) and 39% is fixed cost (exists even with the aircraft parked).

How much fuel does the Learjet 31A burn per hour, in cost?

About US$ 1,261 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 Learjet 31A cost per nautical mile?

About US$ 9.71 per nautical mile, at a cruise speed of 448 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.
