Sourcery · What a $75 Million Airplane Actually Costs to Own · 20 Jun 2026 podcast

I guess so.

Yeah, I think he was wearing his like big, his like his big boots or whatever.

yeah so i mean there's like you know we we see some some pretty crazy stuff but i think for the most part like uh um we find a lot of very normal people like people who just like live their life they they look at this as a way to get more done and um um you know typically like uh really like solid people like solid experiences nothing too crazy

I think Warren Buffett said you should spend every penny

you can on safety and then more.

So I think the large providers understand the importance of safety and they run very, very safe operations.

They understand how much more scrutiny private aviation gets over commercial aviation.

And so safety is something that is ingrained in the DNA.

When you're chartering a plane, it's a little bit more difficult to discern what the safety standard of the plane that you're flying.

You don't really know.

If you looked at all the hours flown in 2025, 35% were flown at the top five providers, and then

All the rest was done with all the rest of the hours flown were like small charter operators that have five, 10 airplanes, maybe sometimes even three airplanes.

So it's a very long tail of operators out there.

And when you're looking for a flight, you really don't know what you're getting.

So having a good broker is very important.

Having a broker, a charter broker, not a sailor broker, charter broker who knows the industry, who's visited these operators, they've gone to these like in the hangars and met the staff, the safety people.

I think it's very important having a broker you can trust

to help guide you.

There is some online data you can look up.

The FAA has some guidance about, you can see if the aircraft is on a 135 certificate, if it's legal and charter legal.
