Ownership and operating cost
Fixed costs are what the aircraft costs before it moves: crew, hangar, insurance, management. Variable costs are charged by the hour flown. CRAFT's own estimates, built the same way for every aircraft from public inputs; the real figures depend on how and where you fly.
No estimate for the Gulfstream G800 yet. No fuel burn we can cite: the manufacturer publishes no average and Conklin & de Decker's published averages don't list it. We leave it blank rather than guess.
