At Aerowise, we specialise in advising our clients on the most efficient, convenient and tailored ways to access executive aviation. We understand that every passenger has different expectations, schedules and objectives, which is why we offer a personalised approach to help you decide how to fly private: whether through membership programmes (Jet Cards), fractional ownership (PlaneSharing) or on-demand flights.
One of the first questions we often hear from those considering private jet travel is: Does flying private mean owning a jet? The answer is no. There are several alternatives that allow you to enjoy the benefits of private aviation without taking on the full costs and responsibilities of exclusive aircraft ownership. At Aerowise, we receive daily enquiries about which of these models is the most suitable. The best choice depends on several factors: frequency of travel, common destinations, budget and desired flexibility.
Purchasing flight hours through membership programmes or Jet Cards is ideal for those who travel privately on a regular basis. This option provides access to a set number of hours to be used as needed, with benefits such as quicker response times, predictable costs and priority availability. It is a format highly valued by executives, business leaders and frequent flyers who wish to avoid the complexities of commercial aviation.
On the other hand, PlaneSharing, or fractional ownership, offers a strategic solution for those who want their “own” aircraft, without the need to bear 100% of the investment and maintenance. This model allows you to co-own a jet with other users, sharing costs and responsibilities while guaranteeing access according to an agreed schedule. It’s an excellent choice for those who prioritise reliability and availability, with a medium- to long-term outlook.
On-demand flights remain one of the most popular options due to their complete flexibility. There are no long-term commitments or upfront investments: the client chooses when, how and where to fly, and we take care of the rest. This is the most convenient alternative for occasional flyers, those who value maximum freedom, or anyone wishing to experience private aviation before committing to a more structured model.
Each of these options comes with its own benefits and considerations, and at Aerowise we take the time to explain them in detail to each client. Our approach goes beyond simply offering flights — we provide a comprehensive consultancy on the best way to access the world of private aviation. There is no one-size-fits-all solution, which is why we develop bespoke proposals for every individual.
Over the years, we’ve guided executives, families, athletes and celebrities towards finding the perfect way to travel with freedom, comfort and efficiency. Our market expertise and extensive operator network enable us to deliver fast, safe and high-quality solutions for every journey.
