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

So the plane will need to move or reposition between LA and San Francisco.

And sometimes companies will sell that as an empty leg and for a significantly reduced price because they have to go anyways.

So sometimes people get experience to private aviation through these empty legs.

But I think it's probably worth glossing over because it's not really the utility and the reason people fly private.

An empty leg is more of a luxurious, more of an experiential type of transaction.

People buy airplanes or people fly private.

They typically do it as a utility, as a way to conduct business or for the ease of comfort with their family.

And they want to be able to go on their schedule.

They don't want to be flying on someone else's schedule.

So typically, the way somebody will enter the market is through charter.

We operate a charter company.

We charter our airplanes out.

Chartering a plane can be great because you don't have all the commitments.

But you really have to be careful of safety.

It's very hard to know what you're going to get.

And the prices can fluctuate quite drastically.

So a lot of times people will charter and then say, why are the prices fluctuating so much?
