Fractional Jet Ownership -- With fractional jets, customers (referred to as "owners") buy a “share” of a plane, rather than an entire plane. The price is pro-rated from the market price of a full aircraft. Owners then have guaranteed access (50-400 hours annually, depending on share size) to that plane with as little as four hours’ notice. Fractional owners pay a monthly maintenance fee and an “occupied” hourly operating fee. The latter is charged only when an owner or guest is on board, not when the plane is flying to a pick up point, or returning to base after completing a mission.

Owners have access to the full fleet of planes and may upgrade or downgrade for specific flights. At the end of a five-year term, owners sell their share back to the company for fair market value (called "residual value"), less a remarketing fee. A variety of factors may effect the residual value calculation, and the bottom-line cost of a fractional jet is highly dependent on this process.

Flight Options never stops thinking of ways to make private-jet service more convenient and enjoyable. We never stop working on ways to streamline the travel process. We never stop working to improve the safety record of a company that's already rated #1 in the industry.

If you need 50 flying hours your first year and 200 your second, no problem. Need a light aircraft one trip and a large-cabin aircraft the next? We have a program for that. Our job is to give you more: more value, more luxury, more flexibility, more of the things you're looking for in a private-jet provider.
