The cost of a private flight

The air broker can tell the final cost of a private flight from Italy to European countries or other foreign countries only after determining the key parameters of the flight. The price of the flight depends on:

• The planned number of passengers;
• Business jet class. The cost is affected by the capacity of the aircraft, its cruising speed, the level of equipment on board, the flight range without refueling, fuel consumption, the year of production of the liner, and other factors;
• Flight season – it is more profitable to rent a business jet in advance before the start of the holiday season since the increasing demand for the service increases its cost, and the number of available aircraft significantly decreases;
• Flight route and distance;
• Duration of parking on the territory of the destination airport. Business jets are often immediately rented in both directions for business flights. In this case, the cost of the service includes parking and maintenance of the aircraft at the point of arrival;
• Service level. The cost of the flight can be increased if it is necessary to organize escort, security or to fulfill individual orders of the client, such as buying tickets for events, renting housing, etc.

After clarifying all the nuances of the flight, you will sign a contract. It will prescribe the final cost of the business jet flight. It will change only if the customer has changed the departure date, increased the number of passengers, or made other significant adjustments.

The cost of the flight on the Pilatus PC-21 includes:

• rental of a private plane with a pilot and crew along the entire route;
• payment of airport charges on the way;
• standard VIP meals for passengers;
• round-the-clock informing of the customer or his authorized persons about the progress of the flight;
• parking at the following airports;
• accommodation of crew members in a hotel (if necessary);
• fast customs and passport control services.

The cost of renting an airplane does not include:

• extension of airport opening hours if necessary;
• de-icing treatment of the aircraft.

Stages of preparation for flight on the PC-21

After submitting the application, the organization of the flight takes place in 4 stages:

1. The first is flight planning. Flight requests are sent, and private planes suitable for the client's requirements are selected. As a rule, initially, we send 3-6 options to the client. If one of them responds to you, we will book a business jet, and if not, we will adjust and continue the search. The technical department deals with security issues, and the legal department controls all the international subtleties of flight organization;
2. A contract is concluded with the client. The contract prescribes the duties and responsibilities of the parties, the date of departure, the level of service, additional services. It is mandatory to indicate the cost of the flight and payment terms;
3. The third stage involves providing a flight. The team of air brokers responsible for the organization of the flight repeatedly checks requests for take-off and landing of aircraft and for parking at the airport. Specialists are also responsible for receiving slots, submitting requests to aviation services, to VIP halls, catering on board, transfer;
4. The fourth stage is the private flight itself. A personal aviation consultant is engaged in passenger registration, ordering passes. The broker has all the relevant information about the status of the flight and will help you go through all the procedures in an accelerated version.

The service is considered completed only after passengers land at the airport and pass all customs procedures. In almost every European airport, we have our own employees who are able to provide assistance and promptly solve any difficulties that arise.

Online calculator of the cost of a private plane flight

The calculator for calculating the cost of renting a private jet in the Italian Private Jets company is a convenient tool that will allow you to choose the best flight option online. Charter flights on PC-21 do not have stable prices, unlike regular flights. This is due to the fact that each client can have their own wishes on the type of liner, comfort level, additional services, and flight route. The online calculator allows you to find flights around the world, create a budget and conduct a preliminary search for an airplane with a crew. You will not have to spend time searching, collecting, and analyzing ready-made offers from air brokers, operators, and owners of business jets.

Fill out all the fields of the form, as well as specify your contact details. If you want to make the calculation as accurate as possible, we ask you to fill out the application with as many details as possible. The answer will be sent to your email or messenger in automatic mode. Also, all the details of the calculation can be clarified with the consultant online - in any way convenient for you (via WhatsApp, Telegram, email, or chat on the website).

Please note that the prices are indicative - we recommend contacting our company's manager for a more accurate calculation. They will make a calculation for free, taking into account the specifics of your flight (number of passengers, aircraft model, crew, etc.) - thus, you will be able to get the exact cost of your flight in 15-30 minutes.

Turboprop trainer aircraft with tandem cockpit. Manufactured by Pilatus Aircraft of Switzerland. First flight in 2002, type certification in 2004. Can be used for various purposes, including simulation, basic, advanced and fighter lead-in training.

Since founded in December of 1939, Pilatus has made a name for itself as a preeminent designer, developer and builder of high-performance basic / advanced turbo-prop-powered flight trainer aircraft. This now includes the PC-7, PC-9 and PC-12 series among others, many used in civilian and military flying circles and some even outfitted for the light-strike role. When the company flew a revised/modified version of its PC-7 in late 1997, the initiative laid the groundwork for what became an all-new development of a modern training platform - the "PC-21".

With the success of the modified PC-7 in 1997, Pilatus undertook further development on the design as a private venture. Work began in 1998 and continued into the early part of the following decade. The result was a first-flight on July 1st, 2002. After certification the series was introduced as its own product line in April of 2008. Since then, the aircraft has been taken on by various operators around the globe - namely the Swiss Air Force, the Republic of Singapore Air Force and the Royal Saudi Air Force. As of this writing (2017), over 200 units have been committed to by various customers and over 130 examples built with production ongoing since 2002.

The PC-21 fills the gap between basic and advanced flight training, a bridge of sorts for pilots emerging from the classroom and having graduated from basic flight training and now requiring higher-performance and capabilities more on par with jet-powered platforms.

The aircraft is a trainer of all-modern design complete with all-glass cockpits, use of composites in its construction and highly streamlined aerodynamics. The high-performance aspects of the aircraft require it to have a fully-pressurized cockpit and applicable oxygen supplies for both crew and both are seated in tandem under a long-running, largely unobstructed canopy, while being given "Zero-Zero" ejection seats. To better mimic the flying conditions of jet-powered combat aircraft, the PC-21 is equipped with a Hands-On-Throttle-And-Stick (HOTAS) flight control arrangement and Head-up Displays (HUDs).

The fuselage is designed with a slim appearance and is well-contoured for the speeds at play. The wing mainplanes are situated at midships with the tail unit relying on a single vertical fin and low-set horizontal planes. The undercarriage, wholly retractable and wheeled at all three members, is of a tricycle arrangement. Dimensions include a length of 36.10 feet, a wingspan of 29.10 feet and a height of 12.3 feet. Empty weight is 5,000lb against an MTOW of 9,370lb. Power to the aircraft comes from a Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6A-68B turboprop engine developing 1,600 horsepower and driving a five-bladed (Hartzell) propeller unit at the nose. Maximum speed is 428 miles per hour with a range of 828 miles and a service ceiling reaching 38,000 feet. Rate-of-climb is 4,000 feet-per-minute.

The PC-21 can be outfitted with basic stores across four underwing (two per wing) hardpoints and a fuselage centerline location. Collectively these points are rated for up to 2,540lb of conventional drop ordnance, machine gun pods, rocket pods and fuel tanks.

The PC-21's launch customer became the Republic of Singapore Air Force which covered an order for nineteen aircraft. The Swiss Air Force committed to the PC-21 in 2006 and deliveries began in 2008. Since then, the Swiss Air Force has built up a fleet of eight such aircraft. In May and July of 2012, Saudi Arabia and Qatar, respectively, ordered the PC-21. In 2015, the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) committed to forty-nine of the type and deliveries began in August of 2017. Other operators include Jordan and the United Arab Emirates.

These will succeed an aging line of Cold War-era CASA C-101 Advanced Jet Trainers. The PC-21 was selected ahead of the American Beechcraft T-6 an the Brazilian EMB-314 "Super Tucano". The initial aircraft will be delivered sometime in 2020 with operational service slated to begin as soon as 2021. December 2020 - The initial PC-21 bound for the Spanish Air Force (intended for use in training) has entered the ground-testing phase.
