Here dude…you do the math!
“A brand new Cessna 172 Skyhawk costs $432,000 in 2023.”
One would hope they got a volume discount! Forty Skyhawks is probably almost a whole year’s production for Textron. The actual price on large deals like this are never made public because the manufacturer doesn’t want the details revealed. I used to work with large power companies that would purchase big gas turbine generators from GE and Siemens. The cost would vary depending on how many units were ordered, but they never sold at list price.
