An actual example

The purpose of this analysis is to determine the existing transport budget of your company, based upon 40% of journeys completed within continental Europe, and to compare this expenditure with the operating costs of a private commercial aircraft serving the same destinations.
Two Business jets have been analyzed: the CESSNA Citation Bravo (400 kts, 2,000 Nm, 8 pax) and the Falcon 50 (450 kts, 3,300 Nm, 10 pax).
40% of your destinations lie within continental Europe, corresponding to 198 flying hours for the Citation Bravo and 173 flying hours for the Falcon 50.
The existing annual transport budget for these destinations is 306,426 Euros, corresponding to 154 passengers travelling to 13 destinations, and representing 364 working days in transit for your employees.
Under these conditions, the operation of a private commercial aircraft would occupy just 141 working days in transit, representing a saving of 223 working days for your employees in transit.
Thanks to the efficiency of a private commercial aircraft, your company will realize a saving in corporate costs of 199,271 Euros per annum, with an increase in the productivity of executives travelling to these destinations totalling 1,203,905 Euros per annum.
Operating costs over five years, before resale and the consideration of tax effects, are 420,359 Euros per annum for the Citation Bravo and 616,782 Euros per annum for the Falcon 50.
Net operating costs after five years, in consideration of resale and tax effects, are 184,167 Euros per annum for the Citation Bravo and 170,004 Euros per annum for the Falcon 50.
The break-even point, in terms of budgeting over five years, before resale and the consideration of tax effects, is achieved with an average of 3.57 passengers per flight using the Citation Bravo and an average of 5.17 passengers per flight using the Falcon 50.
The break-even point, in terms of budgeting after five years, in consideration of resale and tax effects, is achieved with an average of 1.57 passengers per flight using the Citation Bravo, and an average of 1.42 passengers per flight using the Falcon 50.
