Boeing Business Jet price and hourly cost

fuel, maintenance reserves, crew trip costs
Flying a Boeing Business Jet costs about $11,000–18,000 an hour. That covers fuel, upkeep, the engine service plan and crew travel. Fuel alone is about $5,200 of that. The jet burns 800 gallons of Jet-A an hour, at $6.50 a gallon. Fixed costs come on top: hangar, insurance, crew salaries and loss of value. They roughly double the yearly bill.
BBJ pricing spans an unusually wide band because a "green" airframe is delivered without an interior — completion alone runs $20-30M and is what separates one BBJ from another far more than airframe age does.
For jets still being built, the price is the maker's list price. For older models, it is the usual asking price for a used one. The hourly cost covers fuel, upkeep and crew trip costs. It leaves out fixed costs like hangar rent and insurance.
