Jet sharing, while not a new concept, has seen a dramatic rise in popularity, especially after the COVID-19 pandemic and with the rise in environmental consciousness. Upscale travelers nowadays seek safer and more convenient methods of air transportation that not only reduce exposure to health risks and tedious commercial airport procedures but also enhance their travel experience whilst still staying responsible for our contribution to the earth’s overall health.Â

Jet-sharing offers a premium solution for sophisticated travelers and makes flying private a surprisingly viable option. In this article, Abeona explains the essentials of jet-sharing and the unique benefits that this flight option reveals.
The Essence of Jet Sharing – What Is It?
Jet sharing, as the term implies, involves sharing the charter of a private aircraft—whether it’s a high-tech helicopter, a sleek turboprop, or a state-of-the-art private jet—with other discerning travelers.Â
This includes not only sharing the space of the private flight but also costs like fuel, crew, and flight hours, ensuring that each passenger enjoys the premium experience at a fraction of the regular price compared to chartering by yourself. Splitting the costs of chartering a private aircraft among like-minded travelers makes private charter flights more accessible, more economically sensible and more environmentally conscious.

You can jet-share with your own acquaintances or let Abeona International arrange a jet-sharing flight for you. We align your desired flight schedule with that of our extensive client list to reach an arrangement which will benefit all parties involved. You can share this mode of travel by means of empty leg flights, sharing an existing flight with passengers outside of your own travel group, or by means of fractional ownership of a private jet.Â
At Abeona, we excel in crafting seamless and secure jet-sharing experiences, ensuring our clients enjoy top-of-the-line travel without compromising exclusivity.
The 5 Exclusive Benefits of Jet Sharing
Jet sharing offers unparalleled advantages, particularly in today’s world with its numerous concerns and demands.
1. Drastically Reduced Touchpoints – Health Safety
Many of us can attest to falling ill after a cramped commercial flight. One of the paramount benefits of flying private is the significant reduction in touchpoints and exposure to people. Sharing a chartered jet can result in less exposure to contaminants compared to commercial flights, while also allowing you to enjoy the numerous benefits of jet sharing. Â
While commercial airports can involve around 700 interactions and exposure to thousands of people, private aviation reduces touchpoints to fewer than 20. Naturally, the amount of people you come in contact with is also significantly lower.Â
This substantially mitigates health risks, offering a safety margin of approximately 35 times greater than that of commercial flights and airports.Â

2. More Flexible Than Commercial FlightsÂ
Compared to commercial air travel, jet sharing offers flexibility for those with adaptable schedules — especially for popular destinations and during the holidays where numerous people wish to fly to the same location in a similar time frame.Â
Chartering a private jet allows you to tailor your travel plans around your needs rather than adhering to commercial flight schedules that often experience disruptions or delays.Â
Whether you're traveling between homes or expanding your commercial boundaries, this flexibility guarantees convenient and comfortable travel on your own terms.
Even though jet-sharing is a little less flexible than chartering a private jet all by yourself, it remains more flexible than commercial flights, with access to more airports, remote as well as smaller.Â
3. Cost Efficiency & Eco-friendlinessÂ
Splitting the cost of a charter flight makes premium travel considerably more accessible to more people.Â
For example, a one-way jet-sharing flight, potentially an empty-leg journey from Toronto to the Bahamas on a Bombardier Challenger 300 (a super midsize jet) with eight seats, can range from $27,000 to $35,000. This amounts to roughly $3,000 per person. This price point, though depending on the season, route and availability, is comparable to a seat in Business class.Â

Our top clients prioritize cost efficiency, and sharing the expenses of private travel exemplifies this perfectly. By traveling in the privacy of your chartered flight, you can focus more on your business, making efficient use of your time, while also enjoying the financial advantages of reducing the costs associated with private travel. Additionally, sharing your flight or aircraft reduces the environmental impact, aligning with the principles of eco-friendly global travel. Sharing the comfort and privileges of this exclusive mode of travel mitigates any accusations of environmental harm.

4. Relaxed, Crowd-Free Departures
Private flights depart from fixed-base operators (FBOs), exclusive terminals, which offer an efficient, safe, and hassle-free environment.Â
With no lines and a minimal number of people, you can often arrive just 30 minutes before departure –unthinkable in commercial travel.Â
In some instances, your chauffeur can drop you off right on the tarmac, underscoring the exclusivity of this travel experience. You can have all this convenience at a reduced cost if you decide to engage in jet-sharing.
5. Streamlined Customs Experience
For international travelers, customs clearance is expedited and exclusive.Â
Typically, you’ll pass through a dedicated customs station at the private terminal, avoiding the long queues associated with commercial airline passengers. This ensures a swift and hassle-free transition, even if you booked an empty-leg flight.
