Divvy Jet

Divvy Jet is a private aviation company that offers managed shared aircraft leasing. Customers lease a share of an aircraft and fly it on their own schedule, with no capital expense.

The company describes its model in three words: managed, shared and leased. Each aircraft is limited to the number of shares, so it stays free for the people who lease it. Divvy Jet says this means no substitute aircraft and no surprises on departure day.

Each leased aircraft has its own professional pilots. They are familiar, trained and trusted, and customers get to know them. The company says flight hours are unlimited, so customers can use the aircraft as much as they need.

Cost is the main difference. Customers pay a fixed monthly expense plus an hourly cost for each flight with passengers on board. The company says there are no repositioning fees and no empty leg fees. It says its savings come from three areas: the aircraft share, the management cost and the occupied hourly flight time. It aims the model at people who fly 10 days or more each year.

The company lists the reasons people choose private flights. Passengers pick who travels with them, and no strangers are on board. They skip security lines, crowded spaces and waits at the gate. Takeoff can happen within 15 minutes of arriving at the private side of the airport. Private flying also reaches over 5,000 airports, compared with 503 served by the airlines. Passengers can avoid connections and layovers, and they can change plans at short notice.

Divvy Jet speaks to several groups of flyers. These include people who use fractional ownership, people who use jet cards and memberships, and people who have never flown private. The company has a section for current aircraft owners and a page for upcoming events.

Visitors can request information or schedule a consult through the website. The form asks how often they fly and whether the trips are personal, business or both.
