You understand the value of aircraft ownership, discover the value of PilotShares.
Whether you own a business aircraft or are soon taking delivery, you've determined the benefits of ownership - including increased productivity, time efficiency and enhanced security - outweigh the costs and support better management of operations and increased quality of life.
For some, that's enough; for those who seek efficiency and value, there's PilotSharesAM. Engaging professionals you trust to efficiently manage the complexities of ownership while significantly reducing costs improves your ownership experience and offers benefits you could never realize on your own:
66%
The typical reduction in ownership costs...
...The value of a PilotSharesAM Lease.
Offset Costs
Reduce your own operating costs up to 85% through our dry lease program, offering other PilotShares owners and well qualified individuals long term access to your aircraft without the concerns of charter placement.
Improve Liquidity
You have the option of divesting a portion of your aircraft, allowing PilotShares to offer it in our FLTshares shared-ownership program and reducing your operating costs by up to 50% while reducing your exposure.
Eliminate Ownership Hassles
Never again worry about coordinating maintenance, ensuring airworthiness, updating avionics, or managing a crew - we handle every detail.
Enhance Availability
With expert operations coordination, your aircraft maintains peak availability. Reserve aircraft are even available when yours isn't.
Improve Safety
Benefit from our standards in maintenance, training and operation, giving you piece of mind that your aircraft and its occupants are in good hands.
Gain Flexibility
Access the FLTshares circle of diverse aircraft types to improve travel efficiency by accessing the capability and capacity you need, when you need it. A speedy jet for six to Chicago and an efficient turboprop for one to L.A. - at the same time - for less than owning the jet alone is now in your grasp.
Enjoy Economies of Scale
See reductions in fixed and variable costs such as insurance rates, fuel, storage, cleaning, maintenance and training, simply by partnering with PilotSharesAM and its suppliers.
Sell For More
Fractional programs tend to minimize the fact that the greatest cost of ownership in their aircraft is actually depreciation, greatly accelerated by the very high usage inherent to that ownership model. At the end of your typical 5-year ownership period, you are stuck with an aircraft worth thousands less than comparables, significantly increasing your overall costs and hindering liquidity. PilotShares programs, however, ensure aircraft are utilized between 400 and 600 hours per year, right where the resale market expects them to be. Further, our standards prioritize proper and efficient operation, maintenance and care, strengthening it's pedigree at resale.

Enhancing the value of aircraft ownership is primary to the value of PilotSharesAM. A tool like any other in your business, aircraft benefit from focused management and defined systems, motivating us to continually improve operations and find efficiencies while enhancing quality and safety. Beyond the value of increased productivity and security, we bring quantifiable cost reductions and offsets to bear, making PilotSharesAM a sure way to improve your ownership.
FLTshares Lease Program
Besides benefiting from negotiated rates on various fixed and variable expenses, considerable cost offsets can be achieved if you choose to participate in our lease program. Operating similarly to our shared-ownership program, leasing allows other FLTshares owners or qualified individuals access to your aircraft in 50, 75 or 100 hour blocks annually, with distinct benefits to you, including operating cost offsets of up to 85% depending on your particular aircraft and annual utilization.
Leasing allows you to benefit from unused availability on your aircraft - dramatically reducing your costs while increasing your flexibility without the uncertainties of charter placement.
FLTshares Ownership Program
For owners desiring to improve liquidity, FLTshares offers the opportunity to divest any percentage of your aircraft, allowing us to re-sell it as part of our shared ownership program. You still benefit from the same operating cost reductions made possible by PilotShares ownership in addition to the savings seen by fixed cost division. Overall, this results in a 30% to 60% reduction in operating costs depending on utilization.
