Jet card hourly rates increased by 1.1% at the end of the second quarter of 2025 compared to the end of the first quarter, according to the latest private jet charter pricing analysis by Private Jet Card Comparisons.

The average hourly rate, at $11,273, was 2.9% higher than the same period in 2024. The pricing was based on North American jet card programmes, which offer guaranteed availability and fixed or capped hourly rates. The rates include fuel surcharges and the 7.5% Federal Excise Tax.

After declining in 2023 from their peak in 2022, prices have been slowly increasing. Private Jet Card Comparisons editor-in-chief Doug Gollan says: “Private jet flight providers are facing increased costs in terms of salaries for pilots and maintenance technicians. Staffing issues at maintenance facilities and lingering supply chain issues also mean it is taking more time for aircraft to get repaired and back in the skies, earning revenue.”

At the end of Q2 2025, the average hourly jet card rate by aircraft category was: turboprops at $6,584, very light jets at $7,604, light jets at $8,344, midsize jets at $9,818, super midsize jets at $12,467, large cabin jets at $15,168 and ultra long-haul jets at $19,028.

The Private Jet Card Comparisons analysis also found an average of 35.6 peak days, nearly identical to the Q1 figure of 35.4. Year-over-year, however, peak days were down by 23.3%. Peak days often come with surcharges and longer booking or cancellation windows.
