PlaneSense Adds European Charter Partner

Fractional aircraft operator PlaneSense has announced a new collaboration with CaptainJet, a luxury aircraft charter sourcing service based in Lausanne, Switzerland.

Through this agreement, the PlaneSense Sourcing Solution team will coordinate private aircraft charters for clients across Europe and beyond, ensuring seamless service and expanded travel options. Reciprocally, PlaneSense will assist CaptainJet in arranging flights for its clients visiting the U.S., enhancing the international travel experience for customers of both companies.

“We are dedicated to delivering exceptional and distinguished service to our clients, and this new collaboration with CaptainJet further enhances our international offerings,” said George Antoniadis, President and CEO of PlaneSense, Inc. “Working with the CaptainJet team allows us to greatly expand our footprint and assist our valued clients with their global travel needs.”

CaptainJet Background

Founded in 2015, CaptainJet provides tailor-made charter solutions and concierge services for private aviation across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa, securing a wide variety of private aircraft and managing end-to-end travel arrangements, including customs coordination.

“We’re proud to collaborate with PlaneSense, providing clients with exceptional private flights on both sides of the Atlantic. Like PlaneSense, CaptainJet is at the forefront of luxury private jet travel, combining innovation, human expertise, and a global network to deliver personalized, client-first solutions and an uncompromising standard of excellence,” said Yves Roch, CEO of CaptainJet.

CaptainJet is part of the Jetfly Group. Jetfly also offers fractional ownership in Europe, with a fractional fleet of 26 PC-12 turboprops and 13 PC-24 jets. The company employs 500 aviation professionals, including 250 Jetfly trained pilots. Jetfly counts more than 400 aircraft owners within their fractional program.

In early 2025, PlaneSense entered a collaboration with Jetfly to extend service for PlaneSense fractional ownership clients to Europe and Northern Africa. Through the collaboration, PlaneSense clients can utilize their fractional flight hours on Jetfly’s fleet of Pilatus PC-12 turboprops and PC-24 light jets, with reciprocal access for Jetfly clients to the PlaneSense fleet.

When PlaneSense clients require aircraft beyond the PC-12 and PC-24 in Europe or other destinations, the PlaneSense Sourcing Solution team will coordinate with CaptainJet to seamlessly manage charter flight arrangements.

“PlaneSense clients have been so pleased with our Jetfly collaboration that it only made sense to expand that relationship to their affiliated company, CaptainJet, as well,” said Antoniadis. “It’s important to know that PlaneSense, CaptainJet, and Jetfly are all aligned with our values, prioritizing safety, service, convenience, comfort, and aircraft maintenance standards,” Antoniadis added.
