Buy a plane for group transportation

For large groups, capacity and per-seat price are important. For groups of 10 or more, ultra-large jets (Legacy 600/650, Challenger 850) and business jets (SBJ, ACJ, BBJ) with 15-50 seats are available. For teams, delegations, and tours, this is cheaper than two jets and more convenient: the entire group flies with a flight attendant and hot meals.

Ultra-large jets carry 13-16 people for 5,000-8,800 km, while business jets carry 15-50 passengers for 7,000-20,000 km. The Legacy 650 can fly a 13-person delegation nonstop from Almaty to London, the SBJ can carry 19-23 passengers within the CIS and Asia, and the wide-body ACJ/BBJ can accommodate larger groups over any distance.

An ultra-large jet costs $8,000–12,000 rubles per hour, but at full capacity, it costs $300–500 rubles per hour per person—more cost-effective and logistically efficient than two light jets. Business jets cost $15,000–30,000 rubles per hour for 15–50 seats. We calculate the per-seat cost based on your group size.

For groups, we use ultra-large jets (Legacy 650 - secondary ~$12 million, maintenance ~$2.96 million/year at 400 hours) or business jets (SBJ ~$30 million). The choice depends on the group size and range. We calculate the purchase and maintenance costs based on your flight hours and route network.

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.
