Have you seen a small private jet for sale? Are you tempted by a round trip in your business jet?

If you’ve 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 flexibility. A used aircraft will not be the same price as a new one.

We present the aircraft models marketed after 2018 and show you the price of these new aircraft. We also make some comparisons with older models.

The private aviation market is dominated by Europe and the USA, which together account for almost 80% of the world’s jet fleet, but it’s also increasingly competitive. As you’ll see, many of the most luxurious private jets released in 2019 and 2020 are not made by Airbus or Boeing, which are best known for their airliners.

So here’s a list that includes both touring aircraft models, airliners available for private charter and private jets.

What factors should I consider before buying a new aircraft?

The purchase of a new aircraft represents a substantial investment, and several criteria need to be analyzed to make the right choice:

  • Total budget: In addition to the purchase price, you need to factor in the costs of maintenance, insurance, storage (hangar), fuel and personnel (pilots, mechanics). These costs can represent up to 10-20% of the aircraft’s annual value.
  • Intended use: short/medium/long-haul flights? Passenger or freight? These factors determine the size, range and performance required.
  • On-board technologies: Modern navigation systems, Wi-Fi connectivity, or environmentally-friendly options (such as fuel-efficient engines) can influence the choice.
  • Future resale: Some models hold their value better than others. High-end business jets (Gulfstream, Bombardier) are often more stable on the second-hand market.

An audit with an aeronautical expert like AEROAFFAIRES is recommended to assess these aspects before any acquisition.

What are the advantages of leasing a private jet over buying one?

While buying a new aircraft is tempting, leasing remains a flexible and economical alternative for many travelers. Here are the advantages:

  • No fixed costs: No maintenance, personnel or storage costs to manage. The price of the flight is all-inclusive.
  • Adaptability: Choice of aircraft for each mission (light jet for a short flight, long-haul for an intercontinental trip).
  • Access to recent models: Leasing companies frequently renew their fleets, offering aircraft equipped with the latest technology.
  • Ecological solution: Some companies, like AEROAFFAIRES, fully offset the CO₂ emissions of your flights.

For companies or individuals traveling less than 100 hours a year, leasing is often more advantageous. Subscription formulas (“jet card” type) also enable you to benefit from preferential rates.

In conclusion

Recent events have had a major impact on most airlines. First and foremost, the environmental crisis has prompted manufacturers to look at ways of reducing the fuel consumption of their aircraft.

Furthermore, in the face of the Covid-19 epidemic, Airbus has put four A320neo and two A321neo aircraft, originally intended for Air Asia, back on sale. These orders, like many others, have been cancelled, which will probably result in some price reductions.

Finally, bear in mind that the prices quoted do not include the substantial costs of maintenance, operation and crew organization for private jets. It’s not uncommon to reach 350,000 euros in annual ancillary costs on top of the price of the aircraft. If you’re thinking now about how to reduce these costs, you could try leasing or sharing the ownership of your private jet once you’ve purchased it. Alternatively, when you’re not using your business jet, you can have it managed by a private airline, which will take care of flying your aircraft when you’re not using it.

  • What are the additional costs involved in buying a new aircraft?

    In addition to the purchase price, maintenance, insurance, storage (hangar) and fuel costs must be included, as well as crew salaries (pilots, cabin crew). Administrative costs (certifications, taxes) are also added.

  • Are there any financing options for the purchase of a private jet?

    Yes, solutions such as leasing (rental with purchase option), specialized bank credit or arrangements via aeronautical management companies are possible. Some manufacturers also offer financing programs.

  • How to choose between a new and a used aircraft?

    New aircraft offer the latest technology and a manufacturer’s warranty, but cost more. Second-hand can be economical, but requires rigorous inspection (maintenance, flight hours, repair history).

  • What are the advantages of co-owning a private jet?

    Co-ownership enables purchase and maintenance costs to be divided between several owners. Management companies often oversee use and maintenance, optimizing expenses.

  • Can I rent my private jet when I'm not using it?

    Yes, via “jet management” programs, companies lease your aircraft to generate revenue for you. This reduces fixed costs, but means sharing aircraft availability.

  • What criteria should you look for in a jet suitable for transcontinental flights?

    Prioritize range (at least 10,000 km), fuel capacity, cabin comfort (space, pressurization) and technologies like onboard Wi-Fi. Long-haul models like the Bombardier Global 7500 or the Gulfstream G700 are designed for this.

  • How do you deliver a new aircraft?

    Once the order has been placed, the manufacturer sets a deadline (often several months to years). A final inspection (“green flight”) is carried out before handover, followed by training for pilots and owners.

  • What are the environmental impacts of a private jet, and how can they be offset?

    CO₂ emissions are significant, but carbon offset programs (reforestation, renewable energies) do exist. Some operators, like AEROAFFAIRES, include 100% offsetting in their services.

  • What is the average lifespan of a new private jet?

    A well-maintained jet can fly for 25-30 years. Major overhauls (such as “D-checks” every 5-7 years) extend its operational life.

  • Do new aircraft come with a warranty?

    Yes, most manufacturers offer warranties covering technical defects (usually 2 to 5 years), and extensions are possible via maintenance contracts.

  • How are new aircraft prices evolving on the market?

    They fluctuate according to demand, material costs (e.g. aluminum) and technological innovations. Crises (such as Covid-19) can lead to temporary drops or resales of cancelled aircraft.

  • How long does it take to deliver a custom private jet?

    This varies from 6 months to several years, depending on the model and customization (luxury interior, avionics systems). Highly sought-after jets (such as the Gulfstream G700) sometimes have long waiting lists.

  • Can I try a plane before I buy it?

    Yes, demo flights are organized by manufacturers or dealers. For special occasions, a technical audit and test flight are recommended.

  • Which countries are the best for registering a private jet?

    Some jurisdictions (Cayman Islands, Malta, Ireland) offer tax or administrative advantages. The choice depends on the use (private/commercial) and the nationality of the owner.

  • How do you manage regular maintenance on a new aircraft?

    Annual maintenance contracts (“CAMO”) with manufacturer-approved centers are recommended. They cover scheduled overhauls and the availability of spare parts.

  • Are new aircraft equipped with modern safety systems?

    Yes, recent models incorporate technologies such as TCAS (collision avoidance), EFB (flight tablets), and air traffic management systems (ADS-B).

  • What is the impact of international regulations on new private jets?

    Standards (noise, emissions) are evolving (e.g. ICAO CAEP standards). New models comply with them, but this may limit the use of older aircraft in certain areas.

  • How to customize the interior of a new private jet?

    Builders offer tailor-made options (leather seats, VIP fittings, kitchens, etc.). Specialized companies also produce after-delivery designs.

  • Are there any subsidies for buying a new aircraft?

    Some countries offer tax incentives (e.g. tax credits for business aviation) or local aid (regional airports). Contact your local aviation authority for details.

  • How do I sell a new aircraft quickly?

    Using a specialized broker or sales platform speeds up the transaction. Value depends on condition, flight hours and demand for the model.
