Jet OUT Adds Florida Base and New Aircraft

Private aviation co-ownership provider Jet OUT, is opening a new Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL) base, has added two brand-new Citation CJ4 light jets and is building a state-of-the-art private terminal at Waukesha County Airport (UES) in WI.

Florida Expansion

Jet OUT’s new Florida location marks the company’s first expansion outside the Midwest. Located in Sheltair Aviation at FLL, the Florida base will include two brand-new Cessna Citation CJ4 Gen 2 aircraft. The new base will service Jet OUT co-owners and customers across South Florida. The new aircraft join Jet OUT’s existing fleet, which is the newest and largest fleet of CJ4s in the United States.

”Jet OUT is excited to announce that its local-national fleet is now serving South Florida,” says Joseph Crivello, Chief Executive Officer of Jet OUT. “With a national network of airplanes that are locally based near common destinations for our fleet, Jet OUT can support our clients in a much more personal and efficient way than any national competitor that relies on the floating fleet model.”

In support of its local-national fleet model, Jet OUT has hired a South Florida team of experienced aviation professionals, including pilots, mechanics, and aircraft detailers.

Waukesha Terminal Construction

In addition to the Florida expansion, Jet OUT is constructing a 22,000-square-foot private terminal at UES in Waukesha, Wisconsin, designed to exclusively serve the company’s co-owners and charter customers.

The hangar-terminal complex will feature various amenities, including meeting spaces, a kitchen, a bar, a game room, and a lounge area. Jet OUT expects to complete the facility in the first half of 2025.

“We're committed to creating a facility that not only meets the needs of our customers but also enhances their experience,” said Matt Wild, Chief Operating Officer of Jet OUT. “By prioritizing operational efficiencies in the facility’s design, we can achieve environmental sustainability while reducing costs. From energy-efficient heating and cooling systems to thoughtful layouts that streamline your journey through the terminal, our goal is to provide a more comfortable, convenient, and sustainable private aviation experience.”

Looking further ahead at the expansion plans for future base locations, Gordon Cameron, VP of Revenue told SherpaReport “Our network planning is an ongoing process to develop co-owners bases and establish the network effects that enable non-stop efficiency for our co-owners. The result will be regional bases that co-owners can easily access locally, and will provide our co-owners national coverage from coast to coast. Each base design will reflect design aesthetics from the local market and community while maintaining a consistent feel across the network."

Co-ownership Model

Jet OUT offers a unique co-ownership model, a form of fractional ownership, with a program that encourages planes to return to their base of operation each day. The program is centered around the Citation CJ4 Gen 2 light jet, which has a range of 2,000 nm and seating for up to 8 people. Pricing starts at $859,000 for a 1/16th share which provides 20 days of usage.
The current fleet consists of five CJ4s with two more planned at the end of the year and also includes a Citation M2. The company had previously operated some TBM turboprops, but has phased these out over the course of this year to focus on the light jets.
