The first important thing to consider is the price and the type of aircraft to choose. Small turboprops are economical and cost around Rs 1.5 lakh to Rs 2 lakh per hour. The cost of a light jet aircraft like Citation Mustang is Rs 2.5 lakh to Rs 4 lakh per hour. Along with this, the price of medium sized jet planes for long flights ranges from Rs 4 lakh to Rs 7 lakh per hour. If we talk about super-medium sized and heavy jet aircraft like Bombardier Global or Gulf Stream g550, then their price can be between Rs 6 lakh to Rs 12 lakh per hour.

Let us tell you that the total fare of planes is not just the hourly fare but it also depends on the distance of the flight. Longer routes consume more fuel and require more crew hours. Along with this, airport charges may also be higher due to which the total expenditure increases.

Fuel plays a major role in the cost of private air fares. Actually, planes consume different amounts of fuel depending on their size and engine type. Rates also vary with global fuel prices. The longer the flight, the higher the cost of fuel.

Along with this, landing and parking charges at airports also contribute to the total cost. Some airports charge premium rates for private aircraft, especially at busy international airports or runways with restricted access.

Pilots, co-pilots and cabin crew are also part of private flights. Their salary, allowances and accommodation form part of the total cost. Along with this, during weddings, some couples also ask for additional attendants or staff for a smooth and luxurious experience.

The cost of renting a private aircraft can fluctuate due to demand. Fares may often increase due to limited availability during busy wedding seasons or festivals. Booking in advance and choosing off-peak dates will have less impact on your pocket.
