PRIVATE JET LEASE

Enjoy the Flexibility to Find Your Freedom

EXCEPTIONAL BENEFITS.

UNMATCHED ACCESS.

Whether traveling for business or pleasure, our private jet leasing program offers many of the same advantages of purchasing a jet share — but without the upfront costs and responsibility of asset ownership. However, much like fractional ownership, at Flexjet you still enjoy much of the same experience; access to our entire closed fleet, equity into our global interchange or Versatility Plus™ programs and even access guarantees in peak travel windows.

Although it can go by a few other aliases or the industry — private jet membership, private jet subscription, jet access or even a fractional lease — it all boils down to the same concept at Flexjet and remains a popular option for those who wish to avoid upfront expenditures in favor of monthly-style payments.

SHARE SIZES

Lease share sizes can start from 1/16th (50 hours) with each level allotting aircraft Owners a percentage of the 800 flight hours available per year on each aircraft.

TYPICAL UTILIZATION

Private Jet Lease ownership is ideal for individuals who plan on frequently utilizing private flight for 50 or more hours per year.

Versatility Plus™

A unique benefit of Flexjet’s private jet lease program is Versatility Plus™. This feature allows you to customize your annual flight hours to align with the actual number of flight hours you require each year. This option can provide significant savings by making up to 25% of your hours available to other Owners within the Versatility Plus pool. If you’re flying less than expected, reduce your costs by selling hours to other Flexjet owners. If you’re flying more than you expected, you may also purchase hours from other Flexjet owners in the same or different cabin types.

While each provider is unique, leasing requires an initial capital outlay that falls between that associated with fractional jet ownership and a jet card. Without having to take on the upfront costs of owning an asset, including depreciation risks, leasing with Flexjet is a smart choice for those who desire the benefits of fractional ownership but wish to avoid a large upfront investment.

Additionally, leases are an attractive option for corporate flight departments as they qualify as a “travel expense” rather than an owned “asset”.

At their core, private charter programs offer a “pay as you go” solution to private travel, but that “fly and forget” convenience comes with several costs that may make you wonder why you chose charter over commercial in the first place.

In a charter environment, your travel needs are still subject to the supply and demand dynamics of an ever-changing market, which often includes your aircraft and crew. Additionally, it must be noted that due to high demand and limited fleet sizes, aspects such as safety, reliability and availability – to say nothing of flexibility – can become an issue with chartered flights.

Leasing, on the other hand, minimizes your exposure to market demands and increases safety, reliability, and availability thresholds while offering a less capital-intensive solution to outright ownership. Private jet leasing with Flexjet provides you with guaranteed access to aircraft, highly experienced pilots and predictable costs.

While there are some longer-term financial advantages to outright ownership for those who require significant amounts of flight time and last-minute itineraries, newer leasing and fractional ownership instruments begin to blur the lines that once separated ownership experiences from leasing experiences.

By leasing, you will avoid the substantial premium and capital risk associated with outright ownership while still enjoying flexibility in terms of aircraft access and flight availability during high-traffic portions of the calendar. Additionally, when you lease from Flexjet, you will benefit from industry-leading inflight experiences, access to the latest fleet of aircraft and a dedicated team of experts to assist you with all of your private aviation needs.
