9. The maintenance cost is high
Expensive machinery needs exclusive maintenance. And unfortunately, exclusive maintenance comes with a high cost. But, you don’t have any other options. You need to keep your private jet in its best shape. You wouldn’t want to risk flying on not-well-maintained plane, would you?
Thus, you need to follow a strict schedule of maintenance. It is not just about your own safety, but also others. That is why if you do not follow this maintenance calendar, your private jet may end up unlicensed. What good of a plane if it cannot fly?
Even if you are not flying your jet often, or even never, some components still need to be replaced. Yes, that is mandatory. Some of them even need replacement every three months. Besides, other maintenance based on hourly flight schedule is also necessary. That means some expenses await you as long as you own the jet.
Averagely, private jet owners spent at least $100,000 a year just for maintenance costs. That excludes reparation and additional settings. This is something you cannot put aside. Unless you are willing to risk your license, or worse, you own life.
