The average hourly rate for guaranteed jet cards ticked up in the second quarter by roughly half a point from a year ago, but softened by 1% from the first quarter, according to data from Private Jet Card Comparisons (PJCC).

In North America, rates averaged $11,314 per hour by the end of June, an amount that PJCC said is 27% more than pre-Covid levels. PJCC, which maintains a database comparing more than 1,000 jet card and fractional offerings, explained that jet cards typically guarantee base hourly pricing for at least a year. However, this may vary with jet cards that apply and adjust fuel surcharges that are assessed when members fly.
