A recent Jettly survey reveals that trust in commercial pilots has declined, partly due to incidents like the Alaska Airlines event, with Delta, American, and United emerging as the most trusted airlines. Factors reducing trust include visible fatigue, late arrivals, and poor communication. While Gen Z shows a higher trust in private pilots, cost remains the biggest barrier to private flying, alongside concerns about accessibility and environmental impact. Justin Crabbe, CEO of Jettly, emphasizes that expanding networks, improved booking platforms, and new options like jet cards and fractional ownership are making private aviation more accessible and eco-conscious.

Buyers should understand that "guaranteed availability" does not mean access to a specific aircraft at all times, especially during high-demand periods or holidays, where longer notice and potential surcharges may apply. The structure allows for flexibility and cost-sharing among multiple owners, but it also requires careful review of contract terms, including substitution policies and peak calendars. For those seeking more straightforward access without the complexities of ownership, jet cards or on-demand charter services may provide better options.

Fractional Jet Ownership Resale, Buyback & Exit Guide
This guide outlines the complexities of fractional jet ownership resale, focusing on resale value, buyback terms, and exit strategies for current and prospective owners. It highlights that fractional ownership is an illiquid asset with significant depreciation, typically retaining 60-70% of its value after three years and 45-60% after five years, influenced by contractual restrictions and provider control. Owners face challenges such as lockup periods, right of first refusal clauses, and ongoing costs until a sale is finalized, which can take several months to over a year. For those seeking flexibility without the burdens of ownership, transitioning to jet cards or charter services may be a viable alternative.
