There are many costs that go into the economics of owning a small aircraft. An average 75,000 dollars financed Cessna adds up to around 200 dollars per hour in costs if you fly it for 100 hours per year. Of the 200 dollars per hour, around 80 dollars is just for hourly costs such as fuel, maintenance and oil.

Most jet owners switch jets every four to five years, much like car owners, although these vehicles cost a bit more to run: depending on the size of the aircraft, it can cost between $700,000 to $4 million per year to run your own aircraft.
