Find answers to common questions about fractional jet ownership, our fleet, and the JetUp experience.
Fractional ownership means you purchase a share of an aircraft, typically 1/8 to 1/16, giving you guaranteed access to the aircraft for a proportional number of flight hours annually. You own a real asset with all the benefits of ownership—including potential appreciation—without the full financial burden of sole ownership.
The minimum share available is 1/16 of an aircraft, which provides approximately 50 guaranteed flight hours per year. Most clients opt for 1/8 shares (100+ hours) as this provides optimal flexibility for regular travel needs.
Yes, your share is a transferable asset. JetUp Aero facilitates the resale process and maintains a network of qualified buyers. Shares can typically be sold within 60-90 days, subject to market conditions and our right of first refusal.
The total cost includes three components: (1) Share Acquisition starting from $1,200,000 for a 1/16 share of an Embraer Legacy 500, (2) Monthly Management Fee of $12,000-15,000 covering crew, insurance, hangar, and administration, and (3) Hourly Operating Rate of $4,500-5,500 per flight hour covering fuel, maintenance, and landing fees.
No. We pride ourselves on complete transparency. The only additional costs beyond the three standard components are optional services like premium catering, international handling fees, and de-icing (when applicable). All potential additional costs are disclosed upfront before each flight.
Yes, we work with specialized aviation lenders who offer competitive financing terms. Typical arrangements include 20-30% down payment with 5-7 year terms. Our team can connect you with our preferred lending partners.
We guarantee aircraft availability with just 4 hours notice for domestic flights and 24 hours for international flights. However, most clients book 24-48 hours in advance for optimal scheduling flexibility.
While rare due to our fleet management system, if your specific aircraft is unavailable, we provide an equivalent or upgraded aircraft from our fleet or partner network at no additional cost. Your travel plans are never compromised.
Our aircraft can access over 5,000 airports across North America, Europe, and the Middle East—many of which are not served by commercial airlines. This means you can often land closer to your final destination, saving valuable time.
JetUp Aero maintains IS-BAO Stage 3 certification, ARGUS Platinum rating, and Wyvern Wingman status—the highest safety ratings in private aviation. Our operations exceed all EASA, FAA, and GCAA regulatory requirements.
All maintenance is performed at Embraer-authorized service centers following manufacturer specifications. We employ predictive maintenance systems and conduct inspections that exceed regulatory requirements. Every aircraft undergoes 500+ inspection points annually.
Our partnership program offers competitive compensation on successful referrals. When you introduce a qualified client who purchases a share, you earn a commission on the share acquisition value. Commissions are paid within 30 days of the client's closing.
We welcome partners from wealth management, family offices, luxury real estate, concierge services, and similar industries. Partners should have access to high-net-worth individuals who could benefit from fractional jet ownership.
