Currently, South Sudan charters planes from Kenya Airways and Rwanda Air for use by the president. The cost to South Sudanese tax payers is not publicly known but the National Courier understands it runs from hundreds of thousands to over two million dollars depending on the distance per trip.

South Sudan spends millions of dollars in travel costs for government officials a year. Members of committee said purchasing a jet would curb travel expenditure from the office of the President.
