Buy an airplane for government flights

Government and executive aircraft require large cabins, range, and status: ultra-large jets and business jets (ACJ, BBJ, SBJ) with 15-50 seats and areas for delegations, meetings, and staff. Priority is given to reliability, nonstop range, and executive-level finishes. Submit a request—we'll prepare a proposal, calculate the cost, and analyze options tailored to your needs.

Key features include capacity for delegations and accompanying personnel, nonstop flight distances, an executive cabin with a meeting room and lounge, a flight attendant, and hot meals. For formal occasions, aircraft reliability and an experienced crew are essential. Super-midsize cabins and above provide the required level. Submit a request—we'll prepare a proposal, calculate the content, and analyze options tailored to your needs.

The price depends on the aircraft class, range, and number of passengers. Large jets start at $8,000/hour, ultra-large jets start at $8,000–12,000, and business jets start at $15,000–30,000. For delegations of 15–30 people on intercontinental flights, we prepare a tailored estimate based on the route and composition. Submit a request—we'll prepare a proposal, calculate the content, and analyze options tailored to your needs.

For executive missions, we use ultra-large jets (Legacy 650, Falcon 900LX) and business jets (SBJ ~$ 30–50 million, ACJ/BBJ from $ 45 million). SBJs are serviced in Russia and Kazakhstan without currency risk. We calculate purchase and maintenance costs based on your mission and route network. Send us a request – we will prepare a proposal, calculate maintenance costs, and analyze options tailored to your needs.

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.

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.

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))

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.

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.

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.
