Frequently Asked Questions?
Which aircraft are chosen for business flights?
For business trips, the key criteria are speed, punctuality, Wi-Fi, and a work area. Light and midsize jets are used for 2-4 hour flights, while super-midsize and large jets are used for 5-8 hour flights, where the flight becomes a workday with a desk, phone, hot meals, and a flight attendant. Airports closer to the business center are our priority. Send us a request—we'll prepare a proposal, calculate the cost, and analyze options tailored to your needs.
Why is a private jet more profitable for business than scheduled flights?
Save time: depart on your schedule, without queues or transfers, and land at an airport closer to your destination. You can fly to 2-3 cities in a day and return home. Onboard, you'll have confidential meetings, Wi-Fi, and meeting preparation. For a team of 4-8 people, this is often faster and more productive than business class.

How much does a business flight cost and what does it depend on?
The price depends on the class, range, and number of passengers. Rent guide: light jets from $3,000/hour, medium jets from $4,500, and super medium jets from $5,500. A business loop from Astana to Tashkent to Baku in a day on a medium jet costs $35,000–50,000. We prepare a precise quote based on your specific route and schedule.

Which aircraft should I buy for business and how much will it cost to maintain?
For regular business flights, a mid-size or super-midsize jet is ideal: Praetor 600 (secondary ~$17.8 million, maintenance ~$2.7 million/year at 400 hours) or Challenger 3500. With 300–400 flight hours per year, purchasing is more cost-effective than leasing. We can tailor all scenarios to your schedule.

How much does it cost to own a private plane?
Maintenance costs depend on the intensity of use and the aircraft class. When purchasing an aircraft, consider the following regular expenses:
- Crew and service personnel;
- Aviation fuel and navigation fees;
- Maintenance and insurance;
- Hangar storage and airport fees.
How to choose an aircraft when buying an airplane?
Choosing the right aircraft to purchase is based on key parameters:
- Capacity and comfort of the cabin;
- Flight range and route characteristics;
- Acquisition and operating budget.
Our specialists will offer the best business jet options with a detailed comparison of characteristics.
What should be considered when choosing a used aircraft?
When deciding to buy a private used aircraft, we recommend checking:
- Operation and maintenance history (Service bulletins (SB), Airworthiness directives (AD))
- Availability of complete documentation and certificates (See forms (Logbooks))
- No serious incidents in the past (See Logbooks)
- Quality of used spare parts and components (We check during the pre-sale inspection (PPI))
Where and how to register the aircraft?
Aircraft registration is typically carried out in international jurisdictions (Europe, the United States), which allows for tax optimization. The owner can independently choose the country of registration when purchasing a business jet.
Where and how to store the aircraft?
Regular piston-engine, inexpensive aircraft can be stored directly on the street, but business jets and expensive turboprop aircraft must be stored only in an airfield hangar.
How does an aircraft purchase transaction work?
The transaction includes aircraft selection and inspection, signing of a letter of intent (LOI) and contract, a pre-purchase inspection (PPI), payment through an escrow agent, and aircraft delivery. JetHunter assists at every stage and protects the buyer's interests.
