The Beechjet 400 offers competitive operating costs in the light jet category, making it an attractive option for cost-conscious buyers. The Beechjet 400 has total variable costs of approximately $1,346,400 annually, with fixed costs of around $493,925. This brings the total annual operating budget to about $1,840,325. When broken down, this results in an hourly operating cost of approximately $4,089.61 based on 450 annual owner-operated hours and a fuel price of $6.00 per gallon.
