Jets are a diverse range of aircraft, from small planes to larger airliners capable of flying long distances. Prices can also vary based on the amenities and customized options chosen for the plane. Modifying a private jet may be extremely expensive, with endless pricing depending on the desired needs. However, not all modifications are possible owing to aircraft limits.
The answer to the most asked question “how much is a private jet?” is that the starting price of a new
private jet
is $3 million. However, equipment upgrades or interior refurbishment will increase the total price. Operating expenses include maintenance costs and private jet insurance. Yet, the most expensive brand-new private jet for sale is the Gulfstream G700.
The Gulfstream $80 million flagship
The Gulfstream
G700 was displayed for the first time at the NBAA Convention & Exhibition in Las Vegas. The aircraft shares its fly-by-wire cockpit with the G500 and G600. The FAA
issued its certificate in March 2024. Gulfstream began customer deliveries of the G700 aircraft less than a month after obtaining certification, and the first two G700s have begun service. Its current selling price is $80 million.
The Gulfstream G700
is a business aviation aircraft with a spacious and flexible interior. It offers five living areas with 20 oval windows, including an ultra-galley and a grand suite with a shower. The Gulfstream G700 interior offers a fresh cabin with plasma-ionized air replenished every two to three minutes.
