There are numerous relatively new aircraft available for charter, including options as young as one year old. However, most brand-new aircraft are initially purchased by owners and later made available for charter.
To charter a brand-new aircraft, luck plays a significant role. Owners typically acquire the aircraft and wait 1-3 years before entering it into charter service to offset costs, making immediate charter entry uncommon.
While there might be a few new aircraft available for charter, they are rare. More commonly, you’ll find aircraft that are a couple of years old. Opting for an aircraft under three years old expands your choices further. As time passes after an aircraft model’s release, more of them become available for charter.
Defining ‘new’ in aviation can be ambiguous. Many available aircraft are five years old or younger.
