Kodiak 100 cost of ownership: FAQs
How much does it cost to own a Kodiak 100?
Total cost of ownership for the Kodiak 100 depends mostly on how much you fly it. The largest drivers are crew, the engine/maintenance program, fuel, insurance and hangarage. Enter your own annual hours in the calculator above for an estimated annual cost and a fully-burdened cost per flight hour, then talk to our advisors for a precise model built on current market data.
What is the Kodiak 100's operating cost per flight hour?
Hourly cost is driven by fuel burn, engine and airframe maintenance programs, and reserves. As a utility with turboprop powerplant, the Kodiak 100 sits in that class's cost band — variable (hourly) costs rise with utilisation while fixed costs are spread across more hours. Use the calculator to see the cost per hour at your expected annual hours.
What are the biggest costs of owning a Kodiak 100?
Ownership costs split into fixed costs that you pay regardless of flying (crew salaries, insurance, hangar, management and scheduled maintenance reserves) and variable costs that scale with hours flown (fuel, engine-program charges and maintenance). For a utility like the Kodiak 100, crew and the engine program are typically among the largest line items.
Is it cheaper to charter or to own a Kodiak 100?
At low or variable annual utilisation, chartering or leasing is usually more economical because you avoid the fixed costs of ownership; above a breakeven level of annual hours, owning the Kodiak 100 tends to win. Model your hours in the calculator, then compare against our charter and leasing options to find your breakeven.
