Recognized by Private Flyers. Proven Over Time.
A Continued Commitment to What Clients Value Most
In 2024, Business Jet Traveler Magazine (BJT) asked private flyers to evaluate the operators they knew best, and PlaneSense ranked at the top in several of the categories that matter most. While BJT no longer includes operator ranking as part of its annual survey, PlaneSense continues to hold itself to the same expectations for service, value, reliability, and the overall client experience.
Rated Highly by the People Who Know PlaneSense Best
PlaneSense received top rankings from private flyers across several important measures of the fractional experience.
#1 Overall Satisfaction

#1 Customer Service
PlaneSense clients benefit from a dedicated team focused on making every trip as seamless, responsive, and reliable as possible.
#1 Value for the Price
An intelligent approach to fractional ownership designed to deliver the benefits of private aircraft access without the expense and complexity of owning an entire aircraft. PlaneSense also earned strong recognition for aircraft availability and peak-day policies, two areas that remain central to the program today.

More Than 30 Years of Earning Client Confidence
PlaneSense has helped private flyers make more of their time since 1995.
Over more than three decades, the program has grown from a regional fractional operator into a trusted national private aviation solution serving clients across the United States and beyond. That experience informs every aspect of the program, from flight operations and aircraft maintenance to scheduling, service, and long-term fleet planning.
For clients, that means more than access to an aircraft. It means having an experienced aviation team they can rely on trip after trip, year after year.
A Growing Fleet. Reliable Access.
Aircraft availability was among the areas recognized by private flyers in the 2024 BJT survey, and PlaneSense continues to invest in the fleet to provide dependable access.
- Modern Pilatus fleet: The world’s largest fleet of Pilatus PC-12 and PC-24 aircraft offer exceptional versatility, performance, and access to more airports.
- Average fleet age of 5.5 years: Continued investment in newer aircraft helps keep the fleet modern and capable.
- Specialized maintenance expertise: Dedicated technicians with deep Pilatus experience help keep aircraft performing at their best.
The Benefits of Ownership at a Fraction of the Cost
Whole aircraft ownership provides tremendous freedom, but it also comes with significant acquisition costs, fixed expenses, staffing requirements, maintenance responsibilities, and operational complexity.
Fractional ownership offers another approach. With PlaneSense, clients purchase only the share of an aircraft that corresponds with their anticipated flying needs while gaining access to the broader PlaneSense fleet. PlaneSense manages the aircraft, pilots, maintenance, scheduling, and operations, allowing clients to enjoy the benefits of aircraft ownership without assuming the full cost or responsibility of owning an entire airplane.
An Intelligent Approach to Private Aviation Costs
Predictable Pricing
PlaneSense is designed to make private aviation costs easier to understand and anticipate. Clients benefit from predictable program pricing, no blackout dates, and only a limited number of designated peak travel days each year.
Financing Options
Qualified individuals and businesses may finance a PlaneSense fractional share, providing another way to preserve capital while gaining access to the benefits of aircraft ownership.
Financing is available for both PC-12 and PC-24 fractional shares through PlaneSense's financing program.
Potential Bonus Depreciation
For qualifying business use, fractional aircraft ownership may also provide significant tax advantages. Eligible buyers may be able to deduct up to 100 percent of the qualifying purchase price in the year the fractional share is placed into service.
Eligibility depends on individual circumstances, business use, timing, and applicable tax rules, so buyers should consult their tax advisor.
More Ways to Fly With PlaneSense
The PlaneSense fleet may be at the center of the program, but clients' travel needs do not always end where the fleet does. In recent years, PlaneSense has expanded the ways it can support clients with their global flight needs.
Private Flying Across Europe
Through an exclusive collaboration with Jetfly, Europe’s largest fractional aircraft program, PlaneSense clients can apply eligible fractional flight hours toward private travel across Europe. With a similar Pilatus PC-12 and PC-24 fleet and shared commitments to safety, service, and value, Jetfly provides a trusted extension of the PlaneSense experience abroad.

When a trip requires something beyond the PlaneSense fleet, the PlaneSense Sourcing Solution provides another option. Whether clients need a larger aircraft, a different aircraft type, or private travel to destinations around the world, the PlaneSense team can source an appropriate solution through trusted third-party operators.
