Poland’s private aviation sector is expanding, with over 100 privately owned aircraft, including 30–40 business jets. However, many are registered abroad – in places like Malta or the Isle of Man – and don't appear in the official Polish registry.
Business needs often drive jet ownership. Owners typically start with small, twin-engine planes and move on to advanced models like the Pilatus PC-12, Premier 1A, or Falcon jets capable of transatlantic flights.
“Compared to other markets, there’s always someone more advanced. But Poland is doing quite well. The market is still young – before 2017–18, there were very few jets or private operators here. That’s changing,” Maciej Kowalczyk, CEO of Call & Fly, said.
Private jets offer unmatched convenience but also come with high costs and responsibilities. A used Cessna 182 costs about €300,000, while long-range jets can exceed $70 million, with annual upkeep running around 10 percent of their value.
