What are the upfront capital requirements for FLYT membership vs aircraft ownership?

FLYT membership requires $55,500 annual membership fee with $0 upfront capital. Traditional aircraft ownership requires $500K+ upfront capital plus $400K+ per year in fixed costs including crew, hangar, insurance, and maintenance.

What are the risks of aircraft ownership?

Aircraft ownership carries significant risks including depreciation (30-50% value loss in 5 years), market volatility, crew and maintenance disruptions, and underutilization (most owners fly less than 200 hours per year, making per-hour costs astronomically high).

How much does 25 hours of flying cost with FLYT vs ownership?

For 25 hours of flying in a light jet, FLYT costs $125,500 total ($55,500 membership fee + $70,000 flight cost at $2,800/hr). Aircraft ownership costs $75,000+ for fuel and operations alone, not including the $400K+ annual fixed costs.

Ownership Isn’t Just
Expensive — It’s Risky

A black and white photo of an airplane flying in the sky.

Depreciation:

Aircraft lose 30–50% of value in 5 years.

Market Volatility:

Values fluctuate with supply, demand, and macro trends.

Crew & Maintenance:

Staff turnover and unscheduled maintenance disrupt service.

Underutilization:

Most owners fly <200 hours per year, making the per-hour cost astronomically high.

With FLYT, you only pay when you fly. No capex. No liability. Just flexibility.
