HondaJet operator Volato is enabling buyers to fly immediately on fractional terms ahead of the delivery of their aircraft.
Volato is increasing prices for shares on the HondaJet Elite II at the end of the month.
According to an email sent to prospects, “Starting July 1st, fractional ownership prices on Volato’s HondaJets will increase.”
It continues, “Seize the opportunity today to join one of the industry’s most innovative programs where you can fly as little or as much as you like, while sharing in the revenue from your aircraft.”
The email concludes, “Plus, you can start flying for just $3,450 per hour + fuel as soon as you place your deposit.”
James Cuff, VP of Marketing and Business Development, says the deposit is $147,000, with monthly management at $5,350.
EVP, Sales Norm Katz, adds, “Purchase price for a 1/16th is $490,000, so the deposit represents 30% of the total.”
Expected deliveries are for Q3 and Q4, according to Katz, who says takers can fly under Volato’s fractional ownership terms until their tail arrives.
That means a 48-hour callout on non-peak days and 72 hours on peak days.
Cuff tells Private Jet Card Comparisons, “This is the best offer in the market today, especially for Jet It customers who are looking to get back up in the air.”
After Jet It’s shutdown, Volato is now the world’s largest HondaJet operator.
It currently has 17 of the VLJs with 25 on order.
Paid subscribers can now compare fractional options alongside jet cards and memberships in a single spreadsheet with exclusive QUICK COMPARE FLIGHT PRICING.
