History
1990's and 2000's
Founded in 1999, Jetfly initially operated as an owner club using Socata TBM 700 aircraft.[1] In 2004, the company received its first Pilatus PC-12 and launched a fractional ownership programme for this aircraft. In 2009, Jetfly took delivery of its first Pilatus PC-12 NG. [2]
2010's
In 2010, Jetfly's ownership evolved: the company's founders sold their stake to a new group of investors headed by Cédric Lescop and Maxime Bouchard. In 2012 Jetfly decided to exclusively concentrate on the Pilatus PC-12, expanding its fleet to 15 aircraft. In 2014, Jetfly acquired a Pilatus-authorized maintenance center in Bournemouth, becoming an approved provider of maintenance services for the Pilatus PC-12.[3]
In 2018, the company officially launched its fractional ownership programme for the Pilatus PC-24, marked by the delivery of its first aircraft[4].
In 2019, Jetfly acquired Fly7, a company based in Lausanne that manages privately owned aircraft. Additionally, Jetfly established a second maintenance center in Zweibrücken (Jetfly Technik), positioning itself as the second-largest Pilatus maintenance facility in Europe[5].
2020's
In 2020, Jetfly received the first PC-12 training simulator in Europe, operated by Fly7 Training in Lausanne.
In 2021, the Jetfly Fractional Ownership programme reaches 350 aircraft owners in all Europe, the UK and Switzerland.
In 2022, following Brexit, Jetfly established Jetfly UK to manage flight operations within the United Kingdom.
In 2023, Jetfly's fleet grews to 35 aircraft. Combined with Fly7, the group oversaw a total of 65 Pilatus aircraft, making it the operator of the largest Pilatus fleet in the world in 2023.
The following year, the company introduced the Cirrus Vision SF50 with the delivery of 3 aircraft[6].
Business model
Jetfly sells shares of aircraft. The size of a share corresponds to the owner’s in-flight needs. The commitment with Jetfly is formalized through a purchase and management contract.
Once an owner gets a share, he benefits guaranteed access to the aircraft with 18 to 48 hours' notice, anywhere in Europe and 24/7 service availability. If the owner's aircraft is unavailable for some reason, a comparable or larger aircraft will be provided instead.
