A share in one aircraft, and owner rates across the Jet Corp fleet at your category and below. Every operating cost covered, no monthly management fee, and a contractual buyback at the end of your term.
Fractional jet ownership usually means buying in and hoping there is a buyer when you want out. This one is built the other way around. You take a real ownership interest in an aircraft from our fleet, fly it at one fixed hourly rate, and at the end of your term Jet Corp buys your share back under a contractual Guaranteed Buyback priced off an independent appraisal.
And you can look at all of it before you are committed to anything. Your deposit is fully refundable while you decide, held in escrow by a third party, so exploring the program costs you nothing. See how your deposit is protected
Your exit is contractual, not a hope. At the end of the term Jet Corp buys the share back, priced off an independent appraisal rather than our own opinion of the number.
Jet Corp carries insurance, maintenance, crew and every other operating cost for the full term. You pay for the hours you fly, nothing else.
You own an interest in one aircraft and fly the fleet at your category and below, at owner rates. US owners take a titled undivided interest registered with the FAA and Canadian owners join a partnership that holds the aircraft, so either way you own the asset rather than a prepaid balance.
An ownership interest in the aircraft you choose, closed through a licensed escrow and title agent. US owners take title directly; Canadian owners join a partnership that holds the aircraft.
Your annual hours through our preferred charter program at a fixed hourly rate. Jet Corp is your single booking contact and carries every operating cost.
At the end of your term, Jet Corp purchases your share under the contractual Guaranteed Buyback, priced off an independent appraisal of the aircraft.
Fractional programs are priced in layers, and the share price is only the first one. Before comparing any two programs on headline cost, it is worth knowing what the other layers are, because that is where the difference between programs usually sits.
| What you pay | Most fractional programs | Jet Corp |
|---|---|---|
| Share price | An up-front sum for your percentage of the aircraft | The same, from $495,000 |
| Monthly management fee | Charged every month for the length of the contract, whether you fly or not | None, at any point in the term |
| Occupied hourly rate | Charged for the hours you fly | The same, set out in your agreement |
| Your exit | Often depends on finding a buyer for the share | A contractual buyback, priced off an independent appraisal |
A monthly management fee exists because an aircraft costs money to keep whether anyone is on board or not. Insurance, crew, training and maintenance run every month of the year. Most programs solve that by invoicing the owners.
We solve it differently. When you are not flying your aircraft, Jet Corp places it into our supplemental charter fleet, and that utilization is how the cost of keeping it is carried. The aircraft earns its own keep rather than sending you the bill for it.
In practice that means no maintenance invoice, no pilot salaries, no insurance or training bills, and no surprise when something needs attention. The cost of keeping the aircraft ready is ours to carry. You pay the share price, and you pay for the hours you actually use.
Worth saying plainly, because owners ask: this is not an income-producing arrangement and you receive no share of the charter revenue. The benefit to you is not a payment coming in. It is a whole category of cost you are never exposed to, in the months you fly and the months you do not.
Fractional jet ownership cost depends on the airframe you choose. Each aircraft in the program has its own share price, hourly rate and term. Pick the airframe that matches your mission, and the rest of the program works the same way.
Buying a share does not tie you to a single airframe. You can book any aircraft in the fleet in your own category or below, at the owner rate for whichever aircraft you fly. A Global Express share therefore opens the entire fleet, and a Citation X share covers the Citation X and the smaller aircraft beneath it. Flying above your own category is possible for a single trip where we have the aircraft, and it carries a premium on both the rate and the hours it draws from your allocation. Your representative will walk you through what that looks like before you book.
The Global Express runs on a 48 month term and the Citation X on a 24 month term. Every program carries 50 hours per year. If you expect to roll your position into another aircraft rather than exit the program, the shorter term is the natural starting point, and we will walk you through how a roll works when we speak.
Across a 50 hour year that is roughly $1,000,000 at retail rates against $589,450 at yours. Jet card rates on the same category tend to sit above retail once the card premium is counted. You are flying the same class of aircraft at close to 60% of what the retail market charges, which over a 48 month term is where the economics of a share begin to make sense against simply chartering.
Retail and card rates vary considerably by aircraft, route, operator, notice and season. The retail figure is indicative of the market rather than a quote, and is shown to illustrate the structure of the saving rather than to promise a specific number.
Aircraft photography elsewhere on this page is representative of the type. Share prices, hourly rates and terms are program terms and are set out in full in the definitive agreements.
Most fractional exits depend on finding a buyer. Yours does not. At the end of your term Jet Corp buys your share back under a contractual Guaranteed Buyback, priced off an independent appraisal of the aircraft. The buyback price is a percentage of appraised Fair Market Value, less closing costs, and it is set out in full in your purchase agreement.
It is a fair question to ask why a program would contract itself into buying your share back. For much of the industry a buyback is a concession, agreed to close the sale and quietly dreaded when it falls due. Ours reads differently, because we have somewhere for the aircraft to go.
When your term ends, the aircraft moves into our supplemental charter fleet and carries on working. That is planned from the day it joins the program rather than worked out when your term is up, and it is what makes the commitment a comfortable one for us to give you.
That alignment is worth more to you than any promise about maintenance standards. Every decision taken about your aircraft during your term, every inspection and every item we choose not to defer, is one we live with long after you have moved on. The people looking after it are the people who will still be flying it.
It is easy to maintain an aircraft to the standard of the day you hand it back. We are looking after one we intend to keep, and that intention sits in your agreement rather than in a brochure.
If your circumstances change early in the term, a surrender option is available. The terms are straightforward and we will walk you through them directly rather than leaving you to read them off a web page.
You do not have to commit to find out whether this is right for you. Your deposit is fully refundable on two separate grounds, it never touches our account, and until an aircraft is identified you can walk away and get every dollar back.
Sign, take the documents to your advisors, and think it over. If you decide within 10 days that the program is not for you, your deposit is returned in full, no reason required.
Your deposit is held from signing, and if we have not identified an aircraft serial number within 90 days it is returned to you in full. We carry the risk of sourcing the airframe, not you.
Your opening deposit is held in escrow. It stays fully refundable while you decide, so signing does not commit your capital.
Due within 10 days after the aircraft serial number is identified.
The remainder is due 30 days prior to delivery and closes through a licensed escrow and title agent, with title registered in your name.
Paradigm Jet Management holds the FAA Part 135 certificate and is the operator of record. Every trip is booked as a Part 135 flight, with the crew standards, maintenance program and safety oversight that come with the certificate.
Jet Corp manages the aircraft and is your single point of contact for scheduling. One number to call, one team that knows your aircraft and your preferences, and no routing your trip through a call centre.
The aircraft operates exclusively in Part 135 revenue service. That includes your own trips: you fly it through our preferred charter program at a fixed hourly rate, and those flights are conducted under the operator's certificate like any other Part 135 flight. The aircraft stays in commercial service rather than sitting as private personal-use equipment.
Because you hold an ownership interest in an aircraft that is in revenue service, owners often ask their advisors about the depreciation position that follows. It is a fair question, and it is one for your own advisors rather than for us.
Availability of 100% bonus depreciation depends on the owner meeting the greater-than-50% qualified business use test and other requirements. Jet Management Corp makes no representation regarding tax treatment. Owners should consult independent tax counsel.
Tell us a little about how you fly and we will send the full program documentation, including the purchase agreement and utilization agreement, and arrange a call.
A fixed hourly rate, no monthly management fee, and a contractual buyback at the end of your term.
