Overview
PlaneSmart! Aviation provides private aviation services centered on fractional ownership and full aircraft management. Its Professionally Managed Shared Ownership lets clients buy a share for a set annual flight hours without the burdens of sole-ownership; it also offers aircraft management, maintenance, and the option to place owned aircraft on its charter certificate to earn revenue. The company also provides flight training, aircraft brokerage, sales, and charter flights, supported by a mixed fleet of pistons, turboprops, and jets. Its goal is to offer flexible, cost-effective private aviation by combining ownership options, management, charter, and support services for individuals and businesses.
