or $5300/hour for one pax. Those prices don't include taxes, so lets say $6K/hour, AI.
That $132K is only for the capital cost of the aircraft; you still have hourly charges for fuel and crew that run about $2500/hr for the Ultra (which only has a range of about 1500 miles); and the hourly for a Gulfstream IV is closer to $6000/hour.
