11By using private aircraft, a traveler has access to over 5,000 airports in the US alone. This access creates more opportunities to fly non-stop to a destination, and helps passengers reduce ground travel time by flying into smaller airports closer to their destination. Private aviation clients should expect the highest levels of service. Many of the larger providers offer 24/7 support and access to their client service teams. In addition to securing the aircraft, providers can arrange ground transportation and other concierge services.Many companies calculate the combined hourly cost associated with their executives’ time. The hours lost in security, during layovers and potential overnights from multi-city travel equate to lost productivity. key benefits of private aviationEFFICIENCY PRIVATE JET EASE OF TRAVELArrive 15 rather than Avoid busy customs 90 minutes prior linesNo lengthy procedures Real-time check-in itinerary revisions No long TSA or terminal Schedule flexibility wait times No long walks Utilize safer, lower to the gate density airportsShorter ground Depart from a transportation times private hangarFewer ATC holds at Complimentary airports parkingCollect luggage right Fewer unwanted from plane overnight staysHold meetings onboard Pet friendly Shorter taxi times Total privacy Staff retention with Vastly easier for limited mobility those with a tight scheduleAccess to airports rental cars, lower density limos, or taxis with no linesWhen travelers consider all private aviation options, the process of comparing pricing, programs and providers can be overwhelming.

17WHOLE OWNERSHIPOutright ownership of an aircraft is a major decision even for experienced private travelers. While small single-engine and propeller aircraft are easier to manage, a jet aircraft is a considerable investment that requires multiple critical decisions. Whole ownership is generally reserved for someone flying more than 350-450 hours per year and is not recommended as the “first stop” in private aviation. A traveler considering outright ownership has likely engaged multiple aviation firms and has acquired a thorough understanding of their flight options by utilizing fractional ownership, jet card and membership programs.CONSIDERATIONS:Advantages & DisadvantagesADVANTAGES: DISADVANTAGES:• Whole ownership works best when travel consistently originates from one location such as a home or business• Understand the proper market value of a new or used aircraft at acquisition• Engage an aircraft advisor on pricing analysis, financing options, safety and maintenance status of used aircraft• Engage a management company to negotiate and handle insurances, crew, crew training, maintenance, maintenance schedules, hangar selection, hangar fees and overall safety of operation• Like cars, aircraft are a rapidly depreciating asset after leaving the manufacturer. An aviation consultancy firm can assist with aircraft valuation and fiscal oversight• An aircraft consultant can help with aircraft selection - based on travel needs and requirements - before committing to an aircraft type• Consistent experience on every flight• Complete control of aircraft choice, including amenities and aesthetics• Total scheduling flexibility and access to more airports under Part 91 flight operations• Choice of pilots and crew• Ability to earn revenue by chartering owned aircraft• Tax depreciation benefits• Requires expertise in acquisition and the management of the aircraft, staffing, insurance and maintenance• Direct legal liability for all operations• Significant upfront cost• Limited by the performance of a single aircraft type• Downtime when the aircraft is unavailable due to required maintenance• Unpredictable variable costs (changes in fuel prices, unscheduled maintenance)• Substantial depreciation• Tax benefits from depreciation do not outweigh operational costs• Lack of anonymity with scheduling (everyone knows where the aircraft is going)• Illiquidity

Page 18

19FRACTIONAL OWNERSHIPFractional ownership has been available in the marketplace for over 20 years. Since the concept was pioneered, several providers have emerged.Fractional ownership presents the opportunity to own a share of an aircraft while limiting direct responsibility and required oversight of the aircraft. The fractional provider operating the fleet handles all responsibilities (hangar, maintenance, crew, insurance, etc.) Fractional shares are universally based on 800 occupied flight hours per year and are available in increments from 1/16 (50 hours) to 1/4 (200 hours). In practice, fractionally owned aircraft fly over 1,000 hours per year, accelerating depreciation of the underlying asset. Engaging in a fractional purchase is best suited for travelers flying at least 100 hours per year. Like whole ownership, fractional ownership requires a large outlay of capital during the acquisition of the aircraft. There are monthly management fees, hourly usage fees, fuel and resale fees (“remarketing fee”), all of which are handled by the fleet operator. As with any bulk purchase, the larger the commitment, the better the value. As such, travelers committing for 100 or more hours will realize a better value on an all-in basis than someone buying a 1/16th (50 hour) share.Fractional commitments last 5 years and generally include a commitment to fly at least 50 hours per year for the 5-year duration of the contract. Owners must use each 50-hour annual increment within a one-year timeframe or those hours are lost. Travelers flying 50 hours or less per year should not consider fractional ownership. While some programs offer the ability to carry hours forward, travelers will ultimately find themselves with more hours than they can consume at the end of the contract.Travelers flying more than 50 hours per year should always ‘under buy’ their share, meaning they should purchase a share that is less than their projected usage, to provide for maximum leeway in hedging trips against the program.Fractional owners should have a firm understanding of their aircraft preferences and itinerary needs. Fractional owners should have a strong preference toward a single model and make of aircraft. This aircraft should accommodate 95% of their flight needs.CONSIDERATIONS:The aviation market currently has a surplus of used aircraft from the recession — providing excess supply and lower residual values. Consider the fractional costs vs the current market value of the whole aircraft.During high-demand travel days, fractional providers offset bottlenecks of availability by outsourcing to charter, which means fractional owners often fly on charter aircraft rather than aircraft within the fractional fleet they bought into, without notice or control.The fractional marketplace is shrinking in size. Recent instability and consolidation among providers mean fewer choices.

23JET CARDSJet Cards and fractional programs closely align. They evolved in response to market demand for private air transportation without the long-term commitment of fractional ownership. By eliminating the asset purchase issues and multi-year contract terms associated with fractional ownership, Jet Card programs offer an attractive alternative. Jet Cards rely on the broader on-demand jet charter market to supply lift. These programs offer a guaranteed fixed rate for occupied flight time. Jet Card programs are deposit based. Providers package Jet Cards in denominations such as $50,000, $100,000, $1MM+, or by hourly increments of 25 hours, 50 hours or 75+ hour cards. Some providers offer different fixed hourly rates based on aircraft age differentiation. Higher buy-in levels come with perks.Travelers choose an aircraft category (light, midsize, super-mid or heavy), and the program selects an aircraft to fulfill each flight based on the best fit for their network efficiency. The flight time for each trip pulls down from a client’s account balance. Both ownership and fractional options are capital intensive, subjecting an owner to asset value risk whereas Jet Cards require less capital and offer greater flexibility.Most savvy customers now require their deposit funds to be escrowed and request proof of financial stability before investing.• When comparing providers, consider membership fees, minimum deposit, booking time requirements, peak day travel, pricing structure and other fees that are not included in the hourly rate• Lower capital commitment than fractional and whole ownership• Avoids the volatility of the fractional and charter market pricing• Often more flexible user terms and aircraft access when compared to fractional• Jet cards are relatively short-term agreements• Quality-vetted aircraft and pilots• Guaranteed availability, similar to fractional• No deadhead or repositioning cost• Relatively low upfront commitment• Generally no restrictions on using multiple aircraft on the same day• Fixed pricing structure• Loss leader pricing structure• Some programs are non-refundable and cannot be canceled• Some routes are not cost-competitive• Peak periods require several days advance notice and additional fees• Frequent departure time slides• Aircraft scarcity during busiest travel dates• Many programs require non-refundable membership fees• Beware of hidden fees and up-chargesCONSIDERATIONS: ADVANTAGES:DISADVANTAGES:Advantages & Disadvantages

25MEMBERSHIPFor access to aircraft at fixed hourly rates, clients may choose a membership program. Memberships are for those who wish to fly often but do not want the financial commitment of fractional programs or the restrictions of jet card programs.Memberships save travelers the time and confusion of negotiating price, terms, selecting aircraft and arranging payments for individual flights, and provide more flexibility than fractional and jet card programs. Most programs require clients to pay a membership initiation fee and then ongoing annual fees. Depending on the program, the fees can range from a few thousand to tens of thousands per year. Membership programs vary greatly based on provider. It is important to compare pricing structure, membership fees, interchange fees, aircraft selection and availability, booking time requirements, peak day policies, safety programs and certifications, and more. A reputable service provider will readily reveal all of these details.CONSIDERATIONS:• Be certain that the provider is a licensed FAA air carrier. Some providers draw in clients then hand them off to a third party FAA license holder which diminishes personalized, high-touch service and creates communication gaps. Look for a provider who handles all aspects of travel, from start to finish.• Many providers charge hourly rates that are not particularly competitive with other fixed- rate programs.• Most providers charge membership fees, interchange fees, annual fees and other fees — it pays to shop for the best program.• Penalty fees may apply if passengers are more than 30 minutes late for departures.• Like the commercial airlines, tightly booked schedules mean that a delay on a previous leg may impact departures later in the day. • Aircraft availability may vary greatly among providers. Look for a provider with access to a large selection of aircraft for the most flexibility.• Moderate to low or no cost of entry• Fixed hourly rates• Round trip discounts• Generous flight cancellation policies• Priority booking status over non-membersDISADVANTAGES:ADVANTAGES:• Flight leg minimums of 1 hour are typical• Scheduling can be less flexible than fractional ownership and Jet Card programs• There may be restrictions against the use of multiple aircraft on a single day or interchange fees• Membership fee and hourly rate increases are typical• Poor safety oversight resulting in frequent minor incidents among membership operators, mostly runway runoffs due to pilot error• No guarantee of aircraft availabilityAdvantages & Disadvantages

27ON-DEMAND CHARTERThere are approximately 2,200 charter operators in the United States with varying fleet age, clean operating history and financial stability. There are hundreds of providers, with anywhere from 1–100 aircraft and varying levels of acceptable quality and safety.While the FAA regulates the industry, there is a wide spectrum of what is acceptable from a quality or safety perspective. Charter providers may utilize older aircraft or aircraft that would not clear standards in Jet Card or fractional programs.Service levels are generally lower with on-demand charter because airlines deprioritize customer service for charter buyers. Airlines prioritize FAA compliance and aircraft management, with plane owners being the primary customer.CONSIDERATIONS:On-demand charter does not offer transparent pricing or fixed rates with charter. Pricing is determined based on demand and negotiated for each trip. This means holiday or peak travel can cost far more.Quality standards for aircraft age, insurance levels and pilot experience vary significantly among providers. Carefully vet each operator, aircraft and pilot every flight.With on-demand charter, the client assumes the cost for any deadhead flying associated with a flight.When using an on-demand charter, principals should consider engaging a private aviation consultant to handle procurement and ensure safety and reliability.• No upfront commitment, only pay for what you need• Wide choice of aircraft and providers (not locked into one aircraft type)• Lower hourly rates• Ability to engage multiple aircraft simultaneously• Ability to select crew• Ability to swap aircraft for anonymity• Worldwide capability• Vetting, negotiating and contracting for each trip• Severe trip cancellation penalties• Market fluctuation means pricing can vary widely based on the time of year or even the day of the week• Levels of service vary greatly from company to company• No guarantees on availability and aircraft owners. Aircraft may be cancelled even after a trip is confirmed and paid• No guaranteed recovery in the case of mechanical issues • Risk of poor client service• No operator commitment without substantial purchasing power and thousands of hours per annumADVANTAGES: DISADVANTAGES:Advantages & Disadvantages

Aircraft may be cancelled even after a trip is confirmed and paid• No guaranteed recovery in the case of mechanical issues • Risk of poor client service• No operator commitment without substantial purchasing power and thousands of hours per annumADVANTAGES: DISADVANTAGES:Advantages & Disadvantages

29Private aviation provides a level of privacy, service and convenience that is not available through commercial airline travel. The benefits of private jet travel are far reaching, from reduced travel time and increased productivity to improved safety and luxurious comfort. There are many considerations and wide-ranging options available. Today, new and used aircraft inventories are high, which can benefit those considering whole ownership. But whole ownership is a major investment with myriad considerations. While fractional ownership may seem like a more appealing option, the market is rapidly changing. Instability caused by mergers and acquisitions, high CEO turnover, ongoing pilot labor disputes, cancelled aircraft orders and the emergence of more favorable Jet Card programs has contributed to a downturn in the market. With weakening competition in the fractional ownership market, there is increased competition among Jet Card providers and membership programs — which can be beneficial to the consumer. The membership model can be appealing to those seeking a moderate entry fee and access to a fleet of aircraft owned, operated and controlled by a single provider. Depending on the provider, membership programs may have limitations in the form of membership fees, annual fees, fee increases, limited aircraft availability and scheduling restrictions.Jet Card and membership program benefits can vary greatly among providers, so it is crucial to research and compare options before making a selection. Look for a provider who offers a broader, more flexible private aviation experience with perks such as guaranteed availability to aircraft, more extensive selection of aircraft make and model, lower capital commitment and fixed, transparent pricing.MARKET CONSIDERATIONS

33Whole Ownership seekers should work with a consultant to determine budget and needs, consider the pros and cons of new and used, then carefully research the market landscape. Beware of the many agents and brokers who are ready to sell you a poor investment. Focus on aircraft models that have sold well as repairs and maintenance facilities, parts and even pilots will be easier to secure.Fractional Ownership, which uses a proprietary, closed fleet, sells travelers a share in a particular aircraft make and model. While the program does not guarantee access to that particular make/model, and frequently results in “off-fleeting” to charter market aircraft, fractional companies are generally good about providing a complimentary upgrade if the traveler’s aircraft is not available.The inherent challenge with buying into a specific make/model is that it may not be appropriate for every single trip. Fractional programs allow members to upgrade or downgrade their aircraft on a trip-by-trip basis, but this is not guaranteed (members cannot change on peak period days) They also assess interchange fees that are disproportionate to the value of the flight.Moreover, travelers are limited to the aircraft selection offered through the fractional program, rather than the broader private jet universe of options. AIRCRAFT SELECTION FACTORS VARYJet Cards, which use the same fleet as an on-demand charter, allow travelers to choose an aircraft ‘category’ (light, midsize, super-mid or heavy), and sometimes a ‘class’ (newer or older). Aircraft in each category tend to be homogeneous.Travelers often need to know the exact belted seating capacity, luggage capacity and seating layout when making their travel plans (as opposed to 12 hours before their trip). With jet cards, this can be a challenge if the specific provider’s program includes any category interchange barriers.Memberships,like fractional ownership, often use a closed fleet which means selling travelers a share or access to a particular aircraft make and model that is owned, but not operated, by the program provider. As this type of program evolves, so do the program options. Look for a provider offering a large and flexible selection of aircraft with the ability to switch aircraft categories based on need and without penalty.On-Demand Charter fleets range from a single aircraft to several dozens. Operators are regionally based and tend to have a mix of makes, models and ages based on what management contracts they win from whole aircraft owners.

For the larger cabins, having space to move about and socialize once at cruising altitude truly makes longer flights more enjoyable. Passengers with limited mobility will find travel far easier using midsize jets or larger since it is unnecessary to crouch when moving about.
