SkyShare has announced SFX-12, the company’s third and “most affordable” fractional programme to date. 

Available to fliers today, the programme was unveiled yesterday at NBAA-BACE in Las Vegas. It follows the launch of SkyShare’s other fractional programmes (SFX-Jet and SFX+). The difference, according to the company, is greater access to Pilatus PC-12 aircraft at lower price points than the firm has ever previously offered. 

“We are thrilled to debut our SFX-12 program here at NBAA-BACE,” said Cory Bengtzen, founder and CEO of SkyShare. “When we launched our SFX+ program back in April we knew we were revolutionising private flight. However, we realised we were only scratching the surface of our goal to make private flight more accessible. 

“Our Pilatus PC-12 aircraft comprise almost half of our total flights we operate; customers have asked us for more of an entry-level programme focused on just the Pilatus. SFX-12 saves around one million dollars compared to our closest industry competitor. Our innovative approach is a game-changer for people and businesses looking to take advantage of private flight at a much more attractive price point.”

Programme highlights: 

• SFX-12: The newest programme, which has lowered the cost to fly private, features 1/16 shares beginning at $220,000 for PC-12 aircraft. SFX-12’s debut offers a margin price that is 41% less than SkyShare’s previous entry offering. 
• SFX-Jet : The intermediary option of SkyShare’s fractional ownership programmes, SFX-Jet (formerly known as SFX), provides prospective buyers the opportunity to leverage the light jets (CJ2), midsize aircraft (Citation Excel), along with super-midsize jets (Gulfstream G200). Unlike the SFX-12 programme, SFX-Jet allows individuals to “fly down” to smaller available aircraft. For instance, purchasing shares in an SFX-Jet aircraft (e.g. a Citation Excel) allows the owner to fly all the aircraft in the SFX-Jet programme, as well as all the aircraft in the SFX-12 programme. 
• SFX+: SkyShare’s most comprehensive programme features shares in a Gulfstream G450. Owners of SFX+ are able to fly both lower programmes, spanning the entire fleet from the G450s down to the PC-12s.
