AircraftPost Launches Bizjet Operating Cost Tool

Business aircraft valuation and data provider AircraftPost has launched an operating cost tool that compares real-time annual and hourly aircraft operating costs for 125 business jet types, allowing for informed aircraft purchase, operational, and management decisions. (AircraftPost is owned by AIN Media Group.)

With the new tool, users can review aircraft variable costs such as fuel, maintenance, ground handling, and catering, as well as analyze fixed costs like crew, hangar, insurance, and services. It also enables side-by-side aircraft comparisons, customized reporting, and deeper cost analysis across models.

Notably, the product leverages 20 years of AircraftPost market data to provide operating cost insights based on actual aircraft usage by make and model. “This addition further enhances the overall AircraftPost experience by expanding the depth of the data available to users,” said AIN Media Group head of data Jo-Anne Arruda.

The operating cost tool also provides aircraft performance and specification data, including max range and speed; takeoff and landing distances; weights and payloads; dimensions; aircraft overlays; and range maps. It is a $1,795 add-on for existing AircraftPost subscribers; a stand-alone subscription ($1,995) will be available soon.

“We are delighted to partner with Aircraft Budget Analyzer to ensure our subscribers have access to the highest quality operating cost data, which we have blended with AircraftPost’s real-time data to offer market-leading accuracy and precision,” said AIN Media Group president Ruben Kempeneer.
