Private Jets and Business Aircraft

The companies below all provide fractional aircraft ownership. You'll find companies offering ownership in all types of planes from ultra-long range business jets to single engined turboprops. The table shows the types of planes available through the program and includes the broad geographic area that the fractional aircraft program is available in.

FlightOptions used to offer fractional ownership, but several years ago they announced that they were transitioning their fractional customers to sister company Flexjet.

Some fractional programs are small with only a few aircraft, operating out of a couple of airports and serving a regional marketplace. Others are larger national or international programs, with fleets of hundreds of aircraft, comprised of a variety of aircraft types.
