Nice vid. What are the costs involved in a flight like this? also, If one were to own a learjet 60 (or 45 etc) do the pilots come with the jet or do they work from a seperate company and you just hire them when needed?

@slypsi : You usually hire your own pilots, a captain and a First Officer cost like 8000 Euros per month. That's ok, if you buy a 12 Million Euro Jet like a Lear 60.

This plane costs around 2500 Euros per flight hour, if heavily used. If rarely flown the costs per hour are higher.

That isn't fast.. that's how long it would take normally. Fast would be 20 minutes.

Did I say that it is fast?

But flying 380 nm (IFR Airway distance) in 20 minutes would mean an average speed of 1140 knots - there is no business jet that can do this!

59 minutes is not slow at all. Keep in mind the slowing departure, en route and approach procedures!

I think you're kind of missing the point. I decide to fly at 10am from Munich. I wake up at 0900, have some breakfast, shower, drive to the airport, spend 5 minutes going to the GAT, arrive at the plane at 10:10, it's still there, get in, am in Nice at 11:10, luggage is loaded into the car, and I'm at the hotel by 11:30. If you can figure out how to do that on a commercial flight, by all means, let us know.
