Aircraft purchase by country

JetHunter works across the region: we match an aircraft to task and budget, arrange charter or support a purchase from selection to entry into service. Charter runs from a few hours to positioning; purchase means LOI, deposit, inspection and paperwork. We have aircraft based in cities including Vienna, Geneva, Dubai and across the region. Send us a request — we'll prepare options, calculate running costs and analyse the best fit for your task.

The most developed markets are Kazakhstan (the Almaty and Astana hubs), Azerbaijan (Baku) and Uzbekistan (Tashkent, Samarkand), with more compact markets in Armenia, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan. Kazakhstan is the key regional hub with access to Western service. Many operators base and maintain aircraft in these neutral jurisdictions.

Frequent legs connect the region with Istanbul, the Persian Gulf and Europe — for example Baku–Istanbul, Tashkent–Dubai and onward to Vienna, Geneva and London. Long-range aircraft fly direct to Europe and the east nonstop. The region sits conveniently between Europe, the Gulf and Asia.

The registry is chosen to suit the task and operating regime: it may be a national registry or an international one (Aruba, San Marino, Isle of Man). The choice affects taxes, service and route freedom. We select the optimal option and support the paperwork.

For Russian- and Belarusian-linked aircraft, servicing of Western equipment and parts supply are restricted and part of the airspace is closed. All flights are operated in compliance with the rules in force. Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan and other neutral countries retain full access to Western service and act as regional bases. Send us a request — we'll prepare options, calculate running costs and analyse the best fit for your task.

Western equipment is serviced through authorised centres in Kazakhstan, the UAE and Turkey; Russian Sukhoi and Russian Helicopters types at plants and stations in Russia and Kazakhstan. We help set up maintenance to suit the aircraft's jurisdiction and route map. Send us a request — we'll prepare options, calculate running costs and analyse the best fit for your task.

A charter guide: turboprop from $1,800/hour, light jet from $3,000, midsize from $4,500, large from $8,000. Dubai–Almaty is $14–20K, and short regional hops $8–11K. Empty legs are the best value — we publish them weekly. Send us a request — we'll prepare options, calculate running costs and analyse the best fit for your task.

Key business-aviation terminals include Almaty and Astana, Baku (Heydar Aliyev), Tashkent and Samarkand, Yerevan and Bishkek. Most have an FBO with fast formalities and aircraft brought to the steps. Send us a request — we'll prepare options, calculate running costs and analyse the best fit for your task.

An empty leg is the ferry of an empty aircraft to its next job or back to base; such segments sell at a 30–75% discount to the usual price. A $25K flight can come to $8–12K. The limit is a fixed date and route. We publish current regional empty legs weekly. Send us a request — we'll prepare options, calculate running costs and analyse the best fit for your task.

A guide by hours: up to 150–200 hours a year charter is cheaper; above 300–400 ownership wins, where the owned cost per hour drops below the charter rate. In between sit fractional ownership or a jet card. We cost every scenario against your real hours and regional routes.
