US northwest operator Jackson Jet is launching an aircraft co-ownership programme. The initiative offers individuals and businesses a cost-effective and flexible solution to aircraft ownership, beginning with the introduction of the Pilatus PC-12 and the Cessna Citation CJ3+.

The programme is designed to provide all the benefits of private aircraft ownership without the full financial burden. Participants will share ownership of state-of-the-art aircraft, including the versatile Pilatus PC-12, celebrated for its efficiency and luxurious amenities, and the Cessna Citation CJ3+, known for its dependability, range and comfort. This programme allows members to enjoy the freedom of private aviation while only paying for the portion of the aircraft they use.

“Jackson Jet Center is excited to offer a solution that aligns with the needs of today’s flyers,” says David Smith, VP of charter and management at Jackson Jet. “Our co-ownership programme provides an ideal balance of ownership benefits, operational flexibility and cost transparency, making private aviation more accessible than ever before.”

Key features of the programme include flexible ownership, comprehensive management, cost transparency and guaranteed availability. Participants can purchase fractional shares of the Pilatus PC-12 or the CJ3+, with options tailored to suit different levels of travel needs. Jackson Jet Center handles all aspects of aircraft management, including maintenance, hangar storage, insurance, pilot salary and management, and scheduling, ensuring a hassle-free ownership experience. Co-ownership ensures clear and upfront pricing, allowing owners to fully understand the costs associated with private aviation, making it easier to manage their investment. The programme guarantees aircraft availability with a simple and efficient booking process, ensuring owners can fly when they need to.
