Owning a jet might sound like a luxurious idea, but when you look at all of the associated costs and headaches, it’s not always the best option. A Jet Membership provides all of the benefits of ownership without any of the hassles. Here are just a few reasons why a Jet Membership is better than owning a jet.
Aircraft ownership comes with many responsibilities. These include insurance, maintenance, storage fees, and the cost of purchasing your jet in the first place. In fact, the costs associated with purchasing an airplane is significant, as is the cost of maintenance. Maintaining an airplane engine is labor-intensive and typically requires a trained mechanic who has knowledge on how to work on the specific engine, which is why the cost of routine maintenance for a plane can be so high.
On top of regular maintenance, airplanes also require routine inspections and necessary repairs. Not only can these various costs add up, but they are also time-consuming and may occur at inconvenient times, which can affect your travel plans.
An airplane also requires significant storage space, which can be difficult to find or expensive to rent. Airplanes are also expensive to insure, and that can add to the financial burden of ownership.
If you don’t purchase an airplane and opt for a Jet Membership instead, you won’t have to worry about any of these expenses.
The general aviation fleet is aging and thus, there are a limited number of aircraft to choose from on the market. An aircraft is a single-purpose asset that can limit its usefulness if it’s not being flown regularly due to weather conditions or mechanical problems. The majority of an aircraft’s value is depreciated by the point it is purchased due to the high prices paid for new airplanes.
Depending on where your hangar is located, some airports also have strict noise abatement rules.
The benefits of a private aircraft membership are invaluable to those who use their jet for business or pleasure. The ability to travel anytime, either across the country or around the world, is a commodity that many cannot afford but is readily available with a Jet Membership. A benefit of our Jet Membership program is that you can fly from any airport in close proximity to your home, so if you live in a remote area that’s far from the nearest major airport, you can still take off and land at your closest municipal airport.
Another benefit of a Jet Membership is the ability to fly anywhere for business or pleasure with short notice. If a problem arises suddenly, for example, it may be impossible to get out of town, but as one of our valued members, you can be on your way as soon as possible.
Our Jet Membership is perfect for those who have to attend several business meetings in different cities within a few days or weeks. Rather than flying commercially and wasting time going from one airport to another, you can take off from your home airport and land at each city you need to visit. You can then return home at the end of each trip, saving valuable time that would otherwise be wasted in airports or on a commercial flight. It ties in perfectly with your busy schedule, so there is no wasted time and you save money compared to chartering flights the traditional way. If you are someone who likes to travel frequently for leisurely purposes, a Jet Membership is also a great way to ensure all of your vacations run smoothly, and it can give you more options when it comes to destinations.
If you are considering purchasing a private aircraft, but are not sure which options are best for your situation, this is another reason to consider a Jet Membership instead. When you purchase an airplane, you have to commit to one type of airplane, but different trips may have different aircraft needs. Our members have the opportunity to choose from different types of private jets for each trip they take, while only having to pay the costs of using them for each flight, rather than paying significant ownership costs.
Unlike chartering a private flight through the traditional pricing model, our Jet Membership gives customers the exclusive opportunity to charter flights at wholesale prices. For those who fly private often, the savings will quickly add up, as our members don’t pay commission with any private flight bookings. They also receive full transparency on all flights they are quoted.
Our Jet Membership offers a number of advantages over outright jet ownership, from cost savings to convenience. We encourage you to contact us if you have additional questions or would like more information, or if you’re ready to enroll in our Jet Membership program.
