In this short conversational segment, Mauro Stendel explains how the private aviation industry works and how pricing is structured. He clarifies that he does not own aircraft and that private flights are typically arranged through charter operators or companies that own planes. When a client needs a private jet—often because commercial flights are unavailable, speed is required, or privacy is desired—the client can either pay per flight hour or, if they fly frequently, prepay a block of hours to obtain discounted rates. Mauro provides concrete figures: roughly $5,000 per flight hour, illustrated with a typical three‑hour trip to Paraguay costing about $30,000 (round‑trip). He also notes that paying $100,000 upfront for a block of hours can lower the per‑hour price, making frequent private travel more economical.
