Often, we are asked the big question in private aviation “what’s better…Charter or Fractional”? This is a great question and probably best answered by some of our clients.

Why Clients have Fractional Programs?

• Convenience
• Preference of aircraft
• Odd typical routings
• Length of stay between the departure and return dates
• Guaranteed availability regarding specific aircraft type

Why our Clients utilize On-Demand Charter?

• No long term commitments
• No acquisition costs
• No monthly management fees
• No escalating fuel surcharges
• No hidden costs
• No loaded hourly rates
• Complete flexibility to utilize any type of aircraft
• Manage their aviation budget
• Guaranteed availability
• Fly as much or as little as they want

Above, are the typical reasons why fractional and charter clients differ. Now, notice I didn’t mention anything about safety and service excellence. The reason being, Universal Jet can offer the same safety and security with the same or with greater personalized service excellence than the fractional programs. The typical stereotypes of fractional users are that on-demand charter is unsafe and sub-par. These two stereotypes are created by ignorance or may even be formulated because of unpleasant past experiences with charter companies. To avoid any hassles with on-demand charter, Universal Jet utilizes only ARG/US Platinum safety rated and Wyvern certified operators that abide by the same safety standards and service excellence as the major fractional programs such as Net Jets, Flex Jets and Flight Options.

Many of Universal’s clients were once fractional owners with shares in Net Jets, Flex Jets and Flight Options.

Why did they make the switch?

By educating the our clients on the gaps within the Fractional programs, they now can take advantage on certain trips without sacrificing safety, quality of aircraft, service excellence and save upwards of 30-40% compared to the fractional.

Time and time again…Those clients stated they didn’t like being locked into a contract for 3-5 years. In addition, they didn’t like the fact that they didn’t know their captain by name nor did they ever fly the tail they bought into, plus, our clients didn’t appreciate the remarketing fees associated with selling their costly fractional back at the end of their terms.

Some have said their travel missions needed a larger plane or multiple planes at the same time. When their mission requirements fell outside the confines of their fractional agreement, they looked for a smarter charter solution. Their fractional contract was limiting their options when their travel needs changed.

Our clients have voiced they would regularly use more than their allotted fractional hours each year and of course had to supplement those additional hours with charter. Also, some clients switched to Universal because they never seemed to use all their allotted fractional hours. As it turned out, once again, our simple on-demand charter service was a much more cost effective way to travel.

Universal Jet Charter has no upfront costs and no monthly minimums where the fractional companies do. Companies like Flight Options, Net Jets and Flex jets all have large upfront acquisition costs and monthly maintenance requirement regardless if you travel or not each month along with the occupied hourly costs that are very similar to Universal Jet’s charter rates. With Universal’s seamless cost effective charter solution, you simply fly on the aircraft you want, pay as you go with no contracts or hidden costs…Ever.

With Universal’s blending of ownership, operations and broker services, we are the first of our kind. We are the best charter company with the best guaranteed price.

Every day, more and more Fractional program travelers find the value in working in conjunction with Universal Jet Team.
