Fractional Ownership Jets: A Cost-Effective Alternative to Full Aircraft Ownership

Fractional jet ownership is a form of shared ownership where multiple individuals or companies jointly own an aircraft. Instead of buying a whole aircraft, fractional jet ownership allows you to purchase fractional shares in the aircraft, typically ranging from 1/16th share to 1/2 of the total ownership of the aircraft or a number of hours of flight time that you can fly per year. This means you only pay a fraction of the purchase price and share the operating and maintenance costs with the other owners while still enjoying all of the benefits of jet ownership and access to private luxury travel. SkyShareUSA offers a larger 1/5th or 20% fractional jet share for less usage cost than other providers’ 12.5% or 1/5th buyer’s share, giving you more flying time for less flying costs.

Fractional ownership jets have several advantages over traditional jet ownership. Firstly, it is significantly cheaper as you don’t have to bear the full upfront cost of buying and maintaining a private plane. Secondly, it allows you to access a variety of aircraft types and models, which gives you more options for your travel needs. Finally, it offers flexibility and convenience when it comes to scheduling your flights, which can be particularly beneficial for busy executives or frequent travelers, you simply call your SkyShareUSA liaison and tell them when and where you need to go and they handle everything for you from rental cars to catering.

Comparing Fractional Jet Ownership to Traditional Aircraft Ownership

Fractional ownership jets offers several advantages over full ownership. With fractional jet ownership, you only pay for the blocks of flight hours that you need. Also, it provides you with access to a wider range of affordable aircraft types and models, which can be tailored to your specific travel needs, and it also puts jets like the Beechjet and Learjet in your price range. Additionally, fractional jet ownership offers flexibility and convenience when it comes to scheduling, which can be especially important for busy executives or frequent travelers.

In contrast, owning your own aircraft can be costly and time-consuming. Owning a whole aircraft means bearing the full cost of purchasing and maintaining the aircraft pilots, and crew, which can be a significant financial burden. Additionally, owning your own aircraft limits you to one specific aircraft model, which may not always meet your specific travel needs. And finally, owning your own jet can require extensive planning and scheduling, which can be a hassle for busy executives or frequent travelers.

Comparing Fractional Jet Ownership to Jetcards and Charter

Fractional ownership jets with SkyShareUSA offers several advantages over other private aviation options such as aircraft charters and jet cards. Here are just a few of them:

Return on your investment: When chartering or purchasing jet cards, you are essentially leasing flights at an hourly rate. With fractional ownership jets, you are investing in an asset and at the end of the contract, the aircraft’s condition is assessed and the jet is fixed up, sold at fair market value, and the proceeds are distributed back to the owners to reinvest or whatever you prefer.
Predictable costs: With fractional jet ownership, the costs of owning and maintaining the aircraft are shared among the fractional owners as a monthly fee not including fuel surcharges. This means that you have a predictable, fixed cost for your fractional share size, rather than variable costs associated with chartering or jet cards.
Access to a range of aircraft types and models: Fractional jet ownership provides access to a range of aircraft types and models, which can be tailored to your specific travel needs. This is in contrast to jet cards, which often limit you to a single aircraft type or model.
Availability: You typically have guaranteed availability of your chosen aircraft within a specified notice period, usually two weeks although if your travel date is taken by another owner during peak travel days, SkyShareUSA will do its best to get you there in another particular aircraft from our fleet of similar aircraft. This is not always the case with chartering or jet cards, which can be subject to availability issues and last-minute cancellations.
Ownership benefits: You get the benefits of aircraft ownership jets, such as tax advantages such as depreciation deductions, without the full financial and administrative burden of owning an entire aircraft.
