A share in one aircraft, and owner rates across the Jet Corp fleet. Every operating cost covered, no monthly management fee, and a contractual buyback at the end of your term.
Private jet fractional 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 contracted 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 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 contracted 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 private jet ownership is priced in layers, and the share price is only the first one. Before comparing any two programs on headline cost, know 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 | Set in your agreement, with one capped annual adjustment |
| 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 of our fractional jets is priced separately, so the share price, hourly rate and term all move with the aircraft. 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.

The Bombardier Global Express is an ultra-long-range airframe built for nonstop intercontinental legs, with a stand-up cabin usually arranged in separate zones. Retail charter on this class commonly sits near $20,000 an occupied hour. Shares are fully subscribed at present. Join the waiting list and we will send the offering package and contact you the moment a share is released.
The Gulfstream G-IV is a heavy, long-range aircraft with a stand-up cabin and the legs for most transatlantic missions. Buying a Gulfstream G-IV outright is a multi-million dollar purchase before crew, maintenance and insurance. A share is $749,500.
The Cessna Citation X is among the fastest civilian aircraft ever built, cruising close to Mach 0.9 with transcontinental range. A late-model Citation X price on the open market runs into the millions before operating costs. A share is $495,000.
Buying a share does not tie you to a single airframe. You can book across the Jet Corp fleet at owner rates, and a larger share opens up more of it. Your representative will go through exactly which aircraft your share covers, and what your options are if a trip calls for something bigger. There is usually a way to make it work.
Most aircraft in the program run on a 48 month term. The Citation X runs on 24 months, and that is deliberate: it lets you test the water on a shorter commitment before deciding whether ownership suits you. Every aircraft carries 50 hours per year. If you expect to roll your position into a larger aircraft rather than exit the program, the shorter term is the natural place to start, 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.
A buyback is only ever as good as the company standing behind it, and we have been operating since 2013. It is also 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 contracted 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.
