PlaneSense Owners Can Fly Fractional In Europe
Two leading fractional operators, USA based PlaneSense, and Europe based Jetfly, are partnering to provide mutual service to clients. Share owners in each program will be able to use their flight hours to fly on the other program’s fleet beginning April 1, 2025.
Pilatus Fractional Fleets
Both providers operate Pilatus jet and turboprop aircraft. Collectively, they have nearly 100 fractionally owned Pilatus PC-12 turboprops and PC-24 jets. And both have deep experience, with PlaneSense founded 30 years ago in 1995 and Jetfly, based in Europe for 25 years.
The PC-24 has a maximum range of 1,800nm (3,300km) and seating for 8 passengers. While the PC-12 has a maximum range of 1,350nm (2,500km) and seating for 6-8 passengers. Both aircraft have a large cargo door, making it easy to load luggage such as skis, bicycles or golf clubs, and this cargo area is fully accessible during flight.
PlaneSense
PlaneSense operates the largest U.S. commercial fleet of Pilatus aircraft, which currently includes 46 PC-12 turboprops and 16 PC-24 jets. In addition to its new partnership with Jetfly for European flights, PlaneSense serves the continental U.S., Canada, Bermuda, the Bahamas, the Caribbean, Central America, and Mexico. Among the program’s many benefits, share owners enjoy guaranteed access, an expertly maintained fleet, and no blackout dates or hidden fees. It is one of only a few operators worldwide to be awarded the ARGUS Platinum Elite ranking for safety.
“This collaboration is a tremendous value-add for our clients,” says George Antoniadis, President and CEO, PlaneSense, Inc. “Enhancing our program with distinctive benefits such as this is aligned with our constant drive over the last 30 years to improve our service. We have come to know Jetfly well over the years and we share the same values on safety, service, and aircraft maintenance. I am confident PlaneSense share owners will be in good hands while traveling in Europe.”
Jetfly
Jetfly has a fractional fleet of 26 PC-12 turboprops and 13 PC-24 jets, reaching over 3,000 airports and airfields across Europe. Headquartered in Luxembourg, the company employs 500 aviation professionals, including 250 Jetfly trained pilots. Today, Jetfly counts more than 400 aircraft owners within their fractional program, which offers guaranteed availability of an aircraft 365 days a year.
“Together, we are not only strengthening our offer but also building on a shared commitment to excellence,” adds Cédric Lescop, CEO, Jetfly. “This partnership marks the beginning of a new chapter in the exceptional experiences we aim to offer to our owners, while maintaining the same high standards. We look forward to the mutual success ahead.”
The collaboration between the two programs will provide clients with a seamless process for using their fractional hours to fly on the other side of the Atlantic. To simplify and streamline the process for clients, flight reservations and billing processes will remain with their respective programs.
