No surprises. Absolute Confidence

We crush them (seriously, it’s not even close)! SkyShare provides revolutionary value, uncompromising safety, and true service that matters by utilizing top-condition, late-model, and completely refurbished aircraft with new paint and interiors; your capital investment will be half of comparable programs which buy their planes brand new. We let someone else take the massive depreciation hit and still reap 100% of the benefits of good-as-new, pristine aircraft.

The “when should I buy my own airplane” rule of thumb has traditionally been as follows: full ownership is either for individuals who specifically want to control all aspects of an aircraft themselves (e.g., paint color, interior finishings, etc.) or for individuals/organizations who see a need to fly 250+ hours every single year. Ownership equates to the most complex option because you need to create an entire infrastructure to handle all aspects of aviation (such as FAA regulatory issues, pilot hiring/training/benefits, scheduling and dispatch, maintenance, etc.); or, full-owners need to find a Management Company, which represent massive additional costs and no personal service commitments. Lastly, full-ownership does NOT equate to full-time access; there will be many times a year when the aircraft can not fly due to annual inspections, maintenance issues, staffing conflicts, etc. With SkyShare’s LiftOff, owners are guaranteed no “gotchas” when it comes to planning their trips.

SkyShare is both a product (a share in an aircraft) plus a service (first-class travel concierge), where Jet Card memberships are targeted at flyers of 25 hours or less per year who want a fixed cost and don’t care about ownership benefits. On the backend, the jet card provider’s motivation is to find the lowest price option in order to make the anticipated margin on each trip. There is significant variability in age and quality of the aircraft. Additionally, most jet card programs have 2 levels – aircraft older than year 2000 and aircraft 2000 or newer that are often times no longer manufactured. Service falls into the “not so much” category.
