Lower Operating Expense
Fractional providers' operating expenses exceed the cost of a typical charter trip, and their pricing includes built-in mark-ups. The operating costs associated with aircraft ownership through 26 North are more advantageous.
Lower Purchase Price
Fractional providers charge management fees for owning a portion of a plane. These costs are often more expensive than the downpayment and finance expense involved in acquiring an aircraft outright through 26 North.
More Comfort & Safety
With fractional aircraft, you are rarely flying on the portion you own and you are subject to multiple flight crews. With 26 North, you always get to fly on your own aircraft with the same familiar, attentive crew.
Higher Revenue Generation
Fractional providers will often charter your aircraft when you are not using your portion, without sharing any of the charter revenue benefits. 26 North ensures that you will receive revenue from charter profits when you are not using your aircraft.
On-Demand Service
Fractional providers will penalize you for using your aircraft during peak hours, holidays, or with little notice. 26 North understands that it is your aircraft and you make the rules. When you need to fly, regardless of the date or time, your aircraft will be available.
