The rate card, published.
Market rates are what on-demand missions run on our board today. Locked rates are what JetNine Card members pay, fixed for 24 months. Either way, the quote you accept is all-in — fuel, FET, repositioning, crew, standard catering, ground.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Light | 3–4 passengers · 1,500 nm · regional hops | Los Angeles (VNY) → Aspen (ASE) | $3,200–3,600/hr | $2,950/hr |
| Midsize | 5–6 passengers · 2,500 nm · coast to coast | Los Angeles (VNY) → New York (TEB) | $4,200–4,600/hr | $3,950/hr |

Before you calculate.
An estimate is for planning. A written quote identifies the aircraft, total price, exclusions and booking terms.
The calculator quotes an indicative range from live category rates and great-circle flight time. The exact number comes back from a senior dispatcher within 30 minutes during operating hours, priced against real aircraft — and once you accept it, it's locked. The price you accept is the price you pay.
Every JetNine quote is the all-in number: flight time, fuel, crew, landing fees, repositioning, and the 7.5% Federal Excise Tax. Standard catering and sedan ground transfer are included; premium catering, de-icing, and international handling are itemized separately before you accept.
Positioning, crew, airport charges and taxes are added to occupied flight time. Compare the whole trip price, not the hourly figure.
Bigger aircraft burn more fuel, carry larger crews, and cost more to own and maintain. Light jets on our board run $3,200–3,600/hr at market rates; ultra-long-range aircraft run $10,400–11,200/hr. Card members lock rates from $2,950/hr (light) to $9,850/hr (ultra) for 24 months.
Often, but not half the price — the aircraft usually has to fly home either way. If your dates are flexible, an empty leg on the same lane can cut 30–60% off; set a watchlist on our live board and we'll text when one matches.
Yes. Airport choice, time of day and date flexibility often change aircraft availability and positioning cost.
