Best Exec Jet for the Job - Help!

You are talking 3000 NM round trips 3 times a week ? thats 7 hrs roughly per trip so to be simple lets say 20 hrs a week or a massive 1000 hrs a year
lets be really optimistic as you mentioned some shorter 200 nm jumps and say 700 hrs a year at $4000 an hour your trips will cost you £2.8 million PA for a decent midsize jet and between 6 to 10 million purchase price

The very uncomfortable Citation ultra!!! longer trips because its slower so work 750 PA or $1.2 mill costs and $2 mill outlay

Of course if you are flying into 100 KT headwinds the Ultra won't get there in one and you may have to splash and dash somewhere (done it many times flying a 550) but some PAX like to stretch their legs and get a coffee but add 1 hour to the trip time but it won't happen that much

So it still comes down to what the business can justify for the returns by using the jet
I stress before anyone pulls the above to pieces very rough figures
