About Flexjet

Overview

Flexjet's Lease program offers the advantages of fractional ownership while replacing the upfront asset purchase with structured monthly lease payments plus a lease deposit. Cost components include a lease deposit, monthly lease payment, monthly management fee, and an hourly occupied rate, designed for those flying 50+ hours annually. Like fractional, it includes guaranteed availability, short callout times, and interchange opportunities.

Advantages

  • Avoids large upfront capital outlay of fractional ownership
  • Guaranteed availability and short callout times
  • Interchange opportunities across the Flexjet fleet
  • Same benefits as fractional with improved liquidity

Considerations

  • Monthly lease payment plus management fee adds to recurring costs
  • Still requires a lease deposit upfront
  • Minimum 50+ hours annually — not suitable for occasional flyers
