fuel, maintenance reserves, crew trip costs
Operating a Bombardier Challenger 650 costs approximately $3,400–4,800 per flight hour in variable costs — fuel, maintenance reserves, engine programme and crew trip expenses. Fuel alone accounts for roughly $1,820 of that: 280 gallons of Jet-A an hour at $6.50 a gallon. Fixed ownership costs (hangarage, insurance, salaried crew, depreciation) sit on top and roughly double the annual bill.
Acquisition prices are manufacturer list prices for models still in production and typical pre-owned asking ranges otherwise. Hourly figures are variable direct operating cost only; fixed ownership costs are excluded.
