Utah-based SkyShare has debuted SkyBridge, a brokerage service that grants private aircraft sellers access to SkyShare’s fractional fleet at owner rates, bridging the gap between aircraft and ensuring uninterrupted access to business aviation.

An owner’s decision to part ways with a longtime aircraft is frequently met with apprehension and hesitation, mainly stemming from the uncertainty swirling around their future aviation endeavours. Serving as a launching pad from an owner’s existing aircraft to their next one, SkyBridge eliminates this problem and affords owners a simple transition.

“The end of the year is always the busiest time to buy and sell aircraft, primarily due to tax reasons,” says founder and CEO Cory Bengtzen. “Business leaders and fliers who purchase aircraft before the end of the year will enjoy maximising tax deductions on the transaction, which is a big reason why we are launching SkyBridge now. SkyBridge was created with aircraft sellers and buyers in mind as it eliminates a primary pain point. By alleviating the pressure of reacquiring an aircraft with a ticking clock, SkyBridge ensures that every flier experiences consistent and uninterrupted access to premium aviation options.”

SkyBridge not only streamlines the transitional period from one aircraft to the next for owners, it also greatly elevates the value proposition of partnering with SkyShare. Through the company’s comprehensive service and unrivalled operational expertise, clients enjoy the entirety of SkyShare’s expansive fleet, including more than 21 PC-12s, CJ2s, Citation Excels and G200s, all only a text or phone call away.

In addition to SkyBridge, SkyShare offers three fractional programmes allowing varying points of entry. The SFX-12 programme, which launched last month, allows business leaders to reap the benefits of private aviation at a fraction of the cost while SFX-Jet and SFX+ address more comprehensive flying needs with larger jets.
