If you have decided to take the plunge and buy an airliner or a private jet, you’re probably faced with a big question: which one to choose? Of course, it all depends on your needs, expectations and budget. A used plane will not have the same price as a new one. In this article, we present you different models of aircrafts released after 2018 and we give you their price. We also make some comparisons with older models.
The private aviation market is dominated by Europe and the United States, which together account for almost 80% of the world’s jet fleet, but it is also increasingly competitive. As you will see, many of the most luxurious private jets coming out in 2019 and 2020 are not manufactured by Airbus or Boeing, which are mainly known for their airliners.
So here is a list that includes both passenger aircrafts used for tourism, airliners available for private rental and private jets.

Finally
Recent events have had a significant impact on most airlines. We can first see that with the environmental crisis, manufacturers are thinking about ways to reduce the consumption of their devices.
Moreover, in response to the Covid-19 epidemic, Airbus has put back on sale four A320neo and two A321neo initially intended for Air Asia. These orders have been cancelled, like many others, which will probably lead to lower prices in the future.
Finally, bear in mind that the prices mentioned do not include the costs of maintenance and usage of private jets, which are substantial. It is not uncommon to reach 350,000 euros in additional costs per year on top of the price of the plane. If you are thinking about how to reduce these costs, you may want to try renting or sharing ownership of your private jet once you have purchased it.
