Charter vs. Ownership: The Great Private Aviation Debate breaks down the most important choice flyers make: own, share, or access on demand. VIP Jets Founder Robert Wilkos compares ownership, fractional, jet cards, memberships, and charter—through real-world use cases, cost drivers (fixed vs. variable), liability and risk, operational control, and future flexibility. You’ll learn which model fits your flight profile: predictable routes vs. changing missions, single-aircraft needs vs. mission-matching, U.S. hops vs. global reach. We also unpack hidden costs (unused hours, capital tied up), how expert brokers de-risk trips, and why charter often wins for agility and ROI.
What you’ll take away: • A practical framework to pick the right access model • Red flags that inflate total cost of flight • When to switch models as your business evolves
