What Jetfly does

Jetfly is a Luxembourg-based private aviation operator founded in 1999/2000 that runs Europe's largest civilian fleet of Pilatus aircraft — approximately 70 turboprops (PC-12) and light jets (PC-24), supplemented by Falcon 7X. The company sells a vertically integrated stack of services to high-net-worth individuals, business executives, and corporate flight departments: fractional jet ownership on 5-year Purchase and Management Agreements, on-demand charter, full-service aircraft management, pilot training, EASA-approved maintenance, and aircraft trading. Operations are delivered under Air Operator Certificates in Luxembourg (L-14), the United Kingdom (UK-2500 via Jetfly Aviation UK Limited), and Finland (FI-028 via Fly 7 Finland Oy), with a Pilatus factory-authorized training centre in Lausanne and EASA-approved maintenance facilities in Zweibrücken, Bournemouth, and Geneva. A proprietary owner platform provides real-time tracking of flight hours, revenue and operating costs; a partnership with CaptainJet extends worldwide reach to 7,000+ aircraft, and a December 2025 mutual partnership with U.S.-based PlaneSense enables transatlantic fractional and charter coordination.

The revenue model combines recurring contracted streams (5-year fractional subscriptions, managed-services fees on third-party aircraft, ongoing training relationships) with usage-based streams (pay-per-flight-hour charter) plus transactional streams (aircraft trading commissions). All flight planning, CAMO, maintenance, training, and IT are run in-house — a structure that supports margin and quality control but concentrates fixed cost in a fleet whose utilization is sensitive to European business-aviation demand cycles. Customer acquisition runs primarily through dedicated direct-sales teams and a website presence in seven European countries, with earned media across Luxembourg, Belgium, France and Spain press.

Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; multi-year fractional commitments, on-demand charter billing by the hour, and management fees billed on a per-aircraft basis are stated explicitly. Owner economics are tied to share size, with annual flight-hour allocations derived from share count and a real-time transparency platform tracking cumulative hours, revenue, and operating cost per aircraft.
