Fractional Ownership
At Half the Cost
For those flying 50 – 150 hours per year, PIA delivers what fractional can’t – your aircraft, your crew, your decisions, at half the cost of whole aircraft ownership.
You Invested in Ownership
Are You Getting It?
South of 50 hours a year, fractional or a membership program is hard to beat. But somewhere between 50 to 150 hours, the economics shift. You’re paying ownership-level money without ownership-level control.
With a fractional program, you’re one of many owners in the system. You could be overpaying for an 8-hour callout you don’t use and special event access you don’t need.
Sole ownership feels like the next step, but it’s hard to justify at your hours. If your instincts tell you there’s a more efficient way to structure ownership – you’re right.
With PIA Managed Co-Ownership, it’s you and one vetted co-owner that you approve – on one private aircraft with your crew.
FRACTIONAL AIRCRAFT OWNERSHIP IS A BRIDGE, NOT A FINAL DESTINATION
Fractional ownership programs are built around shared infrastructure and the ability to access a broad fleet across multiple cities on short notice. This is a reasonable trade for the convenience and consistency it delivers. When your hours increase, that trade starts to look different.
APPROXIMATELY HOW MANY HOURS DO YOU EXPECT TO FLY IN A YEAR?
PIA Managed Co-Ownership cuts costs in half while preserving the flexibility, control and consistency of full ownership.
THE MATH OF SHARING + THE CONTROL OF OWNING
HOW IT WORKS
For owners who want more control, continuity, and influence, PIA Managed Co-Ownership offers a prudent alternative to fractional ownership.
We match you with a vetted co-owner who shares your region and aircraft model interest, so you both get the access you require at half the cost. You move from being one participant in a larger system designed to serve many to one of two decision-makers in a more intentional ownership structure.
Every decision – your co-owner, your aircraft, your crew, your manager – approved by you.
No peak day restrictions, fleet rotations, or program dependency. Just your aircraft, available 25+ days per month, at half the cost of flying it alone.
THIS IS WHAT OWNERSHIP FEELS LIKE
-
TAKE BACK CONTROL
You make the decisions on your aircraft, your crew, and your co-owner. No program. No fleet rotation. No one else deciding whether you fly on peak days.
-
YOUR AIRCRAFT. YOUR CREW. EVERY FLIGHT.
Fly the same trips you fly today – in the same aircraft, with the same crew. Not whatever’s available in the fleet.
-
SPLIT THE COST. KEEP THE EQUITY.
Own a 50% undivided interest in your aircraft. Split the fixed costs with a vetted co-owner – and pay only for the trips you fly.
-
CO-OWN WITH CONFIDENCE
PIA’s legal structure – designed by the industry’s top aviation counsel – governs every aspect of the co-ownership from entry to exit. Your counsel works directly with ours throughout.
“I thought fractional was as good as it got. I didn’t realize I wasn’t actually an owner until I became one.”

IS PIA RIGHT FOR YOU?
PIA Managed Co-OwnershipTM is purpose-built for flyers in the 50–150 hour range. For those flying under 50 hours annually, a jet card,membership or fractional share may be the right fit. For those flying 200+ hours, sole ownership often makes more sense. If you’re in the middle – this was built for you.
