Sky Share
What
is Sky Share?
We have learned from this experience that there is a meaningful
market segment of customers that
have custom air transportation needs of a lesser magnitude than
that which justifies whole aircraft ownership. We have also
learned, or hopefully already knew, that like most hard assets,
the price per unit of productive use can go down markedly if the
fixed costs of ownership can be spread over a broader base. And
we found that there are a number of users or potential users who
aren’t all that interested in managing aviation assets and are
perfectly happy to pay a predetermined amount to have someone
else take care of the maintenance, scheduling, personnel and
quality control issues.

If we could point to a single event that expanded the business
aviation industry’s user base more than any other single factor,
it was the introduction of Fractional Ownership by NetJets in
1986. Growth of this concept has been significant with over
5,000 shareholders subscribing to services now provided by
several major players who collectively fly over 750 aircraft.

Fractional ownership as it evolved was expensive for a number of
reasons: the initial cost of a new aircraft, the number of
aircraft needed to ensure guaranteed availability, and the
nationwide location of owners, thus expensive relocation of
unoccupied aircraft. In addition to whole ownership of aircraft
and fractional ownership another concept has evolved to serve a
more regional base of owners utilizing pre-owned aircraft. This
concept referred to as co-ownership, is not entirely new.
Friends and business associates have shared ownership of
aircraft for years. The difference is professional management.
After careful analysis we have launched co-ownership in South
Florida that provides a cost effective solution to aircraft
ownership.
 |
Aircraft co-ownership embodies some, but not all of the features
of Fractional programs. It’s appeal lies in delivering a
consistently high level of service at significantly lower cost
than other alternatives. Unlike Whole or Fractional ownership of
an aircraft, co-ownership meets the customer’s air
transportation needs in chronological blocks, rather than flight
hours, proportional to the percentage of equity in the machine.
If you own a quarter share, you are going to have first call on
that aircraft’s availability one fourth of the time. If you are
a good planner, that can meet 100% of your custom air
transportation requirements. |
