Жилд 350–400 цаг нисдэг онгоцны тогтмол зардал цагт 4,000 ам.доллар, хувьсах зардал 5,700 ам.долларт хүрдэг гэж зөвлөх Стив Варсано тайлбарлав.
Юүтүбэр Иман Гаджи хувийн онгоц худалдан авах үйл явцаа баримтжуулжээ. Тэрээр найман хүртэлх зорчигчийн багтаамжтай, дор хаяж гурван хэсэгтэй бөгөөд Дубайгаас Лондон хүртэл шатахуун нэмж цэнэглэхгүй нисэх чадвартай онгоц сонирхсон байна.
Энэ шаардлагад Gulfstream G500 тохирох бөгөөд шинэ нь 40 сая ам.долларын үнэтэй, хуучин загварыг 30 сая орчим ам.доллараар авах боломжтой гэж нийтлэлд дурджээ. TheJetBusiness-ийг үүсгэн байгуулагч, хувийн онгоцны зөвлөх Стив Варсано эзэмшлийн зардлыг тогтмол болон хувьсах гэж ангилсан байна.
Нисэх цагийн тооноос үл хамааран нисгэгчдийн цалин, ангарын төлбөр, даатгал, компьютерын засвар үйлчилгээ, давтан сургалт зэрэг тогтмол зардал гарна. Харин шатахуун, буултын хураамж, хоол үйлчилгээ болон нисгэгч, ажилтнуудын буудал хувьсах зардалд багтдаг.
Варсаногийн хэлснээр онгоцны доторх тавилгыг өөрчлөхөд ч өндөр зардал гарч болзошгүй: буйданг хоёр сандлаар солиход 400,000 ам.доллар шаардагдана. Нислэгийн цаг нэмэгдэх тусам тогтмол зардал илүү олон цагт хуваарилагдаж, нэг цагийн нийт зардал буурдаг ч онгоцыг нислэгт тэнцэхүйц байлгах засвар үйлчилгээ заавал хийгдэх ёстой.

A well-known YouTuber decided to buy a private jet and documented the whole process.
Entertaining, no doubt, but also eye-opening.
The YouTuber in question ultimately settled for a $30 million private jet.
And the hourly cost he revealed was wild.
The key difference between luxury cars and private jets
When it comes to maintenance, owning a private plane (or a yacht) is more expensive than owning a luxury car, not just because of scale but also because of technical and legal reasons.
With a hypercar, missing maintenance standards may lower its value or invalidate its warranty, but it won’t make the car legally or physically undriveable.
With private planes, the situation is different.
There’s a long list of things that need doing just to keep the aircraft airworthy.
None of those are optional.
And, as we’re about to find out, it’s a very expensive list.
This is what a long-range private jet costs per year
YouTuber Iman Gadzhi documented his visit to a private plane specialist and more importantly the breakdown of the variable and fixed costs of owning a private jet.
The would-be buyer said he wanted at least three sections with enough room for up to eight passengers, the range has to be good enough to cover Dubai-London without refueling.
That’s Gulfstream G500 (pictured below) territory, which is a $40 million aircraft when new, or around $30 if can get a second-hand one.
So far, so expensive, but it gets worse.
Private jet consultant Steve Varsano, founder of TheJetBusiness, broke down the annual costs.
“When you have a plane, costs are broken down into two things. There are fixed costs, and variable costs. Fixed costs stay the same whether you fly one hour or 400 hours. Pilot salaries, hangar fees, insurance, computer maintenance, recurrent training, and so on. All those things, whether you move the plane or not, you pay,” he said.
“Then there are variable costs. Fuel, landing fees, catering, hotels for pilots and staff.
“At 350-400 flight hours per year, fixed costs alone average $4,000 per hour, variable costs you need $5,700 per hour.”
Varsano also revealed something else that costs a fortune.
“Moving things around is expensive,” he said.
He then pointed to the screen where a preview of the airplane was being shown and said: “If you want to replace this couch with two chairs, that’s $400,000.”
You can buy a house for that.
There’s a silver lining
According to Varsano, the silver lining is that the more you fly, the cheaper the overall cost per hour becomes.
While fixed expenses remain completely flat, spreading that massive overhead across a higher volume of annual flight hours lowers the overall hourly rate.
Then again, the moral of the story is simple: if one has to worry about the cost, buying a private jet outright is probably not for them.
