PlaneSense marked its 30th anniversary on 9 September 2025, commemorating three decades of growth and commitment to client service in private aviation. Founded in 1995, PlaneSense introduced fractional aircraft ownership with a focus on safety, reliability and personalised service.
“When we launched PlaneSense three decades ago, our vision was to offer a more intelligent and highly personal approach to private flying,” says George Antoniadis, founder, president and CEO of PlaneSense.
The company began with a Pilatus PC-12, the 20th ever produced. In 2015, PlaneSense expanded with its jet programme and in 2018 welcomed the first Pilatus PC-24, offering clients more range and cabin space. Today, it operates the largest PC-12 and PC-24 fleet in the US.
Over the last year, PlaneSense extended service with a Jetfly collaboration in Europe and northern Africa, as well as its PlaneSense Sourcing Solution for global flights. Its CobaltPass jet card, launched in 2025, gave clients flexible options across aircraft types.
“As we celebrate this milestone, I am reminded that innovation is in our DNA,” adds Antoniadis.
The company maintains a 91% retention rate, with families spanning three generations of owners. Antoniadis credits PlaneSense staff as key to its success.
