The ownership trade-off

The lowest-cost entry into owner-flown jet travel, but early avionics, lower altitude and programme status need close review.

Cost picture at different usage

  • 40 hours/year: about €196k per year ( €4900 per flight hour all-in)
  • 80 hours/year: about €242k per year ( €3025 per flight hour all-in)
  • 120 hours/year: about €288k per year ( €2400 per flight hour all-in)
  • 180 hours/year: about €357k per year ( €1983 per flight hour all-in)

Older examples add calendar-driven maintenance: a 2011-built airframe is estimated at €287k per year at 80 hours. Condition, engine time remaining and avionics matter more than the year itself — price the aircraft in front of you, not the model.

Where it fits well

  • 300 kt cruise supports fast regional travel.
  • 1200 nm advertised range creates a practical planning radius of about 804 nm with 4 occupants.
  • 608 kg realistic payload proxy and 7 seats define the usable cabin mission.

Limitations to price honestly

  • The lowest-cost entry into owner-flown jet travel, but early avionics, lower altitude and programme status need close review.
  • €150k fixed annual planning base before flying a single hour.
  • Approximate 1000 m take-off requirement must be checked against runway, surface, slope, temperature and loading.

Recommended missions

  • Family and small-group touring with a weight-and-balance check for every trip.
  • Longer regional missions, with reserves and payload reducing brochure range.
  • Time-sensitive business travel where dispatch reliability justifies the cost.
