On Demand jet charters aren’t actually a new idea, however, the way Vault Aviation operates is very new – and improved.

Private jet chartering with an On Demand method truly took off after it had a major facelift about a decade ago. This major facelift included more emphasis on convenience, customization, and, of course, the client.

These customization trends continue today, which is why our On Demand private jet charters are the clear winners in the private flight industry.

We do all the research and legwork for you to make sure you get only the best quality, value, and experience – every time. All with no extra fees and no confusion.

That’s the Vault Aviation On Demand promise.

The Vault Jet Story

Co-Founders Weston Hull and Paul Taskalos have been best friends since meeting in eighth grade. The pair attended the University of Notre Dame before taking separate career paths. Prior to entering the private aviation industry, Weston worked for an NFL Sports Agency, where he honed his client relations skills. Paul began his career as a litigation attorney, handling complex issues daily.

Weston and Paul combined their unique skill sets to create a private jet charter company that is truly On Demand and client centered. Vault Aviation uses some concepts from the sports world, like the agent’s fiduciary duty to his client. And we use skills from the legal world too, like advocating zealously for our clients when we source and price private charter jets.

Our On Demand Private Jet Model

Vault Aviation’s On Demand private jet charter model provides all the benefits of aircraft ownership without the headaches. On Demand allows you to fly where you want, when you want, on whatever plane you want. Whether you fly once a year for vacation or once a week for business, Vault’s On Demand program has a solution for everyone’s needs.

Our Max Jet Card

The Vault Aviation MAX Jet Card uses fixed hourly rates to calculate the maximum amount you’d have to pay for a flight. Vault uses the same process to source aircraft for MAX Jet Card members that it uses to source aircraft for our On Demand flights. The end result is almost always being able to provide MAX Jet Card members with a price that is below their fixed rates.

Studying your expected utilization, preferences, geographic considerations, security, and personal needs can be a great way to learn which private flight option is the best for you.

Let’s learn about each to see which match your needs best!

Full Ownership

Whole aircraft, or partner ownership, provides instant access to private air travel, and this is what many people still think of when talking about flying privately.

The advantages are clear for owning your own private jet – you fully own it, meaning you have full control over times, dates, customer services, amenities, personalized features, and frequency.

But there is always a downside.

Whole or full ownership also means you have only one aircraft to fit all flight needs, which translates to no multi-departures or availability during maintenance. Additionally, there are extra repositioning fees, high initial cost on the investment, depreciation, and high capital at low levels of use.

Now, this is where the flyer must decide if they feel the positives outweigh the negatives or if another option might fit their needs more accurately.

For some clients, whole ownership and the associated fees such as $700,000 to $4 million in maintenance or continued costs per year are not considered too steep for the convenience of having your own private aircraft. However, for others, this is not the case and a marriage between needs and wants must be found.

Partial Ownership

Fractional or partial ownership is most commonly associated with NetJets, introduced in 1986, and Warren Buffett. This form of private jet travel was the standard for many years if you didn’t want to own a plane or didn’t use private air travel enough to warrant such a large purchase – both upfront and in operating costs.

Fractional ownership can most easily be explained as if you are buying a share of a fleet or plane, but issues similar to timeshares can come up because of this, in particular, the sharing part. If you are spending at the very least 100,000 dollars, then often the fractional owners have difficulties agreeing on usage times, dates, and heavy-flying periods, even if your fleet is large.

Additionally, usually, there is a time commitment involved, anything from 3-7 years, which might not be convenient for all fractional owners. How can you know your travel needs for the next 5 years? What if you find yourself needing more in-air hours or fewer? What if you will require international private jet flights and your company doesn’t cater to that need? Or what if you find the service or aircraft not up to expected standards? What can be done when you are in a long-term relationship with an expensive partner.

It is important to note as well that there is a higher cost at a higher level of utilization for most fractional ownerships, meaning those who use private jets often are not getting the best deal from fractional ownership.

On Demand Private Jet Charters

On Demand private jet charters have been around as long as the idea of owning a private jet, however, their practices have improved so vastly in recent years that the private jet chartering business is nearly unrecognizable from its former self.

In large part, this is due to private jet brokerage companies getting their technology, customer services, and inventory aligned with the needs of their clientele. However, there are downsides to this seeming jack-of-all-trades, like a lack of availability if your broker doesn’t have a long reach or many contacts in the industry to call on when flights are thin.

Going along with the above, if your broker is not full-service, you might just have to book through multiple operators – costing you more of your time, effort, and energy. This is why it is imperative to find yourself working with a full-service broker who is able to find whatever you want, whenever you want it, and do it all themselves.

Benefits of On Demand Private Jet Charters:

• No investment in a depreciating asset
• No fixed costs or fees
• No contracts or time commitments
• Only pay for the hours you use
• More flexibility for changes in hours, days, number of flights, or aircraft desired
• Lowest cost for flyers of 50-500 hours per year

Cons of On Demand Private Jet Charters:

• Less control over availability if your broker isn’t well connected
• Might need several operators if your broker isn’t full-service
