Owning a jet

Hangarage

Hangarage is the cost of keeping an aircraft indoors, protected from sun, hail, snow and bird damage, rather than parked on the ramp. It is one of the larger fixed costs of ownership: from around $3,000 a month for a light jet at a regional US airport to $15,000–$30,000 a month for a large-cabin jet at Teterboro, Van Nuys, London Luton or Dubai. Space is scarce at the popular business airports, waiting lists are common, and transient hangarage for a visiting aircraft can cost $1,000 or more a night, a charge that may appear on your charter invoice if the crew hangar the jet at a cold-weather destination.
