C56XMidsizeCurated data · 2026-06O Cessna Citation Ascend é um jato midsize apresentado como evolução da família Citation Excel, com entrada em serviço a partir de 2025.
Jet Tracker estimate: about US$ 5,324 per flight hour at 400 h/year, of which US$ 3,740 per hour is variable cost (fuel, engine program, maintenance reserves, fees) plus US$ 633,513 per year of fixed cost (crew, hangar, insurance, training).
About US$ 2,129,596 per year (roughly R$ 10.903.531 at today's exchange rate), of which 70% is variable cost (depends on hours flown) and 30% is fixed cost (exists even with the aircraft parked).
About US$ 1,386 per flight hour, at the US$ 5.90 per gallon used in this simulation. Fuel is usually the largest variable cost item.
About US$ 12.07 per nautical mile, at a cruise speed of 441 kt. It is the right metric to compare aircraft of different speeds on the same route.
Variable cost only exists when the aircraft flies: fuel, engine program, hourly maintenance reserves and landing fees. Fixed cost exists even with the aircraft in the hangar: crew, hangarage, insurance, training and subscriptions. That is why total cost per hour falls the more hours per year the aircraft flies.
