What a Bombardier Challenger 850 costs
Indicative mid-2026 market figures. Approximate — not an appraisal of any individual aircraft.
Pre-owned, typical ask
$5–10 million

fuel, maintenance reserves, crew trip costs
Operating a Bombardier Challenger 850 costs approximately $4,000–5,500 per flight hour in variable costs — fuel, maintenance reserves, engine programme and crew trip expenses. Fuel alone accounts for roughly $2,145 of that: 330 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.
