Operating a Embraer Legacy 500 costs approximately $2,800–4,000 per flight hour in variable costs — fuel, maintenance reserves, engine programme and crew trip expenses. Fuel alone accounts for roughly $1,430 of that: 220 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.
