Private Jet Memberships Explained

6 MIN READOWNERSHIP MODELS

There are four ways to access a private jet: on-demand charter, jet cards, fractional ownership and full ownership. Each suits a different annual flight profile.

Membership models

A jet membership locks in pricing and availability in exchange for an upfront fee or annual subscription. Useful for 25–100 hours per year.

Jet cards

Pre-paid flight hours at a fixed hourly rate, with guaranteed availability inside a defined service area. Typically sold in 25 or 50-hour blocks.

Fractional ownership

Buy a 1/16th to 1/2 share of a specific aircraft. Pay a monthly management fee plus an occupied hourly rate. Suits 50–400+ hours/year.

On-demand charter

Pay per trip, no commitment. Best for under 25 hours per year or for unpredictable travel profiles.
