Frequently asked questions about the cost
How much does it cost to operate the Learjet 45 per hour?
Jet Tracker estimate: about US$ 3,106 per flight hour at 200 h/year, of which US$ 1,736 per hour is variable cost (fuel, engine program, maintenance reserves, fees) plus US$ 274,000 per year of fixed cost (crew, hangar, insurance, training).
How much does it cost per year to keep the Learjet 45 flying 200 hours?
About US$ 621,200 per year (roughly R$ 3,427,782 at today's exchange rate), of which 56% is variable cost (depends on hours flown) and 44% is fixed cost (exists even with the aircraft parked).
How much fuel does the Learjet 45 burn per hour, in cost?
About US$ 806 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.
