What is Fractional Ownership?
Shared Ownership: Discover the Innovation that Disrupted the Private Jet Hire Industries
We knew there had to be a better solution for private aircraft service. So we created an alternative that disrupted the industry and gave executive travelers a new option with extraordinary benefits. NetJets aircraft ownership provides the immediacy and luxury of whole aircraft ownership, with none of the operational complexities and hidden overhead. Here’s how it works.
How fractional ownership works
It starts with a share
With NetJets ownership, you purchase a portion or “share” of a specific aircraft. And that share equals a specific number of hours you can fly in that aircraft—with the ability to upgrade or downgrade to any other jet in our fleet.Minimise Capital Investment
A NetJets share provides the valuable tax benefit of owning a portion of a depreciating asset without the large capital outlay for an entire aircraft. And your investment allows us to continually refresh our inventory, constantly rejuvenating our fleet with the newest aircraft models in the market.Your jet or better
If your jet isn’t available when you need it, we provide a similar model or upgrade you to the next cabin class at no additional cost. And you always have the option upgrade to an aircraft with more seats or for a longer distance for a fee.No repositioning fees
NetJets Owners rarely pay ferry charges, the extra fees most charter companies require to reposition aircraft. Our ferry waiver program simplifies travel and often eliminates this added expense.We hire and maintain
With NetJets, you’ll never have to hire a staff or crew, pay for maintenance or hangars, negotiate fuel costs, or deal with other time-consuming expenses of whole aircraft ownership.The best of all worlds
Convenience, service, safety, and access. NetJets provides all of this and more. Enjoy your personal Owner Services Team, the cleanest and best-maintained jets in the world, safety protocols that exceed industry standards, jet availability in as few as 10 hours, and a commitment to service and discretion unrivaled in the industry.
A very safe
Investment
As a NetJets Owner, your investment is secure and your liquidity is guaranteed, now and into the future. In fact, if at any point after three years you choose to opt out of our ownership program, we will buy back your share. That’s how confident we are in the long-term future of our service.
