Frequently Asked Questions FAQs About Private Aviation Services

The FAQS about the costs of services are the most common. 

This is a complex question because it depends on several factors.

For instance, a Cessna with a capacity for three people could cost between $800 and $1,000 per hour, depending on the dates when the service is requested.

Cleanliness is essential in all private aviation services, both inside and outside the aircraft.

Inside, cleanliness is not only a matter of aesthetics and comfort but also as a health measure.

Cleaning the exterior of a plane is crucial, as it is part of maintenance and can even optimize fuel consumption, which can range from $10,000 to $20,000 a year, depending on the aircraft.

For many, it may be part of the most peculiar FAQS, but in reality, it is very common.

And the short answer is… yes.

However, it is important to note that smoking inside a private jet is only permitted if you hire a cleaning service or pay cleaning fees, which could range from $7,000 to $15,000, depending on the aircraft.

It all depends on the maintenance provided to the airplane, particularly its engines, landing gear, and whether its avionics are updated.

This could provide many remaining hours for these components, effectively making it a “new” airplane, so to speak.

Also known as a one-way flight, an empty leg flight occurs when an airplane travels without passengers from point A to point B. This typically happens to reposition the aircraft for maintenance or to pick up other passengers. 

This can lead to significant savings on flight costs. 

You can find more information in our post, “What is an empty leg flight?”

It depends on the airport where the aircraft will be located and the FBO managing the airplane. 

At 5 Star Jets, we recommend storing the airplane in a private hangar. 

While keeping it on the tarmac may be slightly more economical, it will be much better preserved under cover than exposed to the sun and rain continuously.

This is one of the Most Frequently Asked FAQS questions about private aviation. 

As always, it will depend on the airplane and the services required. 

For example, if we choose a King Air 200 configured for 7 passengers with impressive cargo capacity. 

On this aircraft, ideal for the whole family, the cost would be $5,000 for the 7 passengers on a same-day tour to Orlando.

Airplane engines have a lifespan measured in flight hours and flight cycles. 

When an airplane engine reaches the end of its useful life, it must be replaced with a new one. 

At 5 Star Jets, committed to your safety, we implement strict safety protocols to ensure that all these aspects are thoroughly covered.

There are several options, depending on the artist. 

However, we would generally suggest a Gulfstream IV or V, as it has a quite acceptable range, excellent passenger capacity (between 12 and 16 passengers), and good cargo capacity.
