Guaranteed access, without owning the aircraft.
For the flying between occasional and regular: enough to want an aircraft on call, not enough to justify buying one. A jet card fixes your rate and your availability; a fractional share gives you part of a specific aircraft. We'll tell you which — if either — actually fits.
The middle of the curve.
Charter is cheapest when you fly rarely. Owning wins when you fly a lot. In between sits a band where you want two things charter can't reliably give — a price you can plan around and an aircraft that's there when you call — but you don't fly enough to carry a whole one.
That's what a jet card and a fractional share are for. Both buy you guaranteed access in that middle band; they just do it in very different ways, and the right one depends on how you fly and what you want on your balance sheet.
As with everything here, we'll tell you honestly if you're better off simply chartering — or if your hours have grown enough to lease or buy.
Second step up the curve.
Roughly by annual flight hours, here's where each option wins. A card or share is the answer for the band between the two extremes.
Charter
On-demand is almost always cheaper than any form of ownership — no fixed cost at all.
Jet card / share
Enough flying to want guaranteed availability, not enough for a whole aircraft. A card or fractional share fits.
You are hereLease
Dedicated access and a predictable monthly cost, without tying up capital in the asset.
Buy
Past a certain number of hours a year, ownership beats every alternative on cost per hour.
Same band, two very different products.
Prepaid hours at a fixed rate.
You buy a block of flight hours in advance at a locked price. Call when you need to fly, draw down the hours, and get guaranteed availability with set notice — no aircraft to own or manage.
- Fixed, known hourly rate
- Guaranteed availability with notice
- No ownership, no asset on the books
- Simple to start and to exit
Best when: you want predictable pricing and on-call access without committing to a specific aircraft.
Own a piece of a specific aircraft.
You buy a share of an aircraft — a fraction of the asset — with a set number of hours a year, plus a monthly management fee and an hourly rate. Part ownership with the operating burden handled for you.
- Part ownership of a real asset
- Allotted hours per year
- Management & crew handled for you
- Exit by selling the share back
Best when: you fly enough to want an equity stake and the economics of ownership, at a fraction of the whole.

Read the exit before the entry.
Cards and shares are where the fine print earns its keep. A card's rate can be locked while its fuel surcharge floats; a share looks like ownership until you try to sell it back at the value the contract — not the market — decides.
Because we're paid by you, not by a programme, we have no reason to steer you into the card with the best commission. We read the notice periods, the surcharge clauses and the buy-back terms with you, and if the honest answer is "just charter," that's the answer you'll get.
Tell us how you fly. We'll tell you card, share or neither.
Including when plain charter or a lease is the better call — before you commit to a programme.
