Jet Membership Options
There are several membership options available in the marketplace. Sometimes, private jet membership providers facilitate flights from third-party operators. This removes liability—and ultimately, accountability—from the membership provider, as they are simply acting as a middleman. Other times, membership providers own a small fleet of branded aircraft, and when those aircraft are unavailable, they look to the charter market to secure flights.
These jet membership providers offer a seemingly low upfront cost but usually layer on additional charges. They are also heavily dependent on having many owners, which makes availability a common issue. And, in addition, makes it more likely for their members to fly on a comparatively older aircraft.
