Challenger 350

Wire, before taxes and fees
Hawker 800XP: $5,750–$8,000 / billed flight hour
Challenger 350: $7,000–$9,500 / billed flight hour
U.S. domestic wire + 7.5% FET
Hawker 800XP: $6,181–$8,600
Challenger 350: $7,525–$10,213
U.S. domestic card + 4%, then 7.5% FET
Hawker 800XP: $6,429–$8,944
Challenger 350: $7,826–$10,621

How the math works

U.S. domestic examples add 7.5% Federal Excise Tax to the displayed hourly transportation range. Paying by card costs 4% more than paying by wire; the card example applies that adjustment before FET. Domestic segment tax and trip-specific positioning, airport, handling, catering, deicing and other charges are not included in these hourly examples.
