PlaneSense launches PC-12 and PC-24 jet cards

Pilatus PC-24 and PC-12 fractional operator PlaneSense is jumping into the jet card segment with two dedicated offerings.

However, its CEO, George A. Antoniadis, says it will only sell an undisclosed and limited number of the cards based on core fleet availability.

Through June, PlaneSense was North America’s 7th-largest charter/fractional operator.

ARGUS TRAQPak reported its flight hours increased 7.5% year over year during 2024’s first six months.

In June, PlaneSense restarted its trial jet car program, designed as a stepping stone for prospects likely to buy fractional shares.

Its new CobaltPass jet card is valid for 12 months and open to anyone.

The 25-hour jet cards are dedicated to either Pilatus type, but there is no interchange.

Both cards carry 60-minute daily minimums, which will attract short-leg flyers.

The PC-12 and PC-24 have a 24-hour callout, although the latter is 48 hours in the western states.

The primary service areas for both aircraft cover the Continental U.S. and Southern Canada.

The extended service area reaches the rest of Canada, Mexico, the Bahamas, and large swaths of the Caribbean.

On 11 peak days, the daily minimum is 90 minutes, and the provider can move departure time by +/- 4 hours.

Purchase price includes prepayment of hourly fees, fuel, landing, and FBO fees.

The PC-12 seats six, while the PC-24 has a capacity of eight passengers.

The PC-12 is priced at $4,950 per hour plus 7.5% FET.

PC-24 pricing is $8,950 per hour, plus FET.

There are 88 high-demand dates with a 48-hour callout.

PlaneSense can move departure times by +/- 2 hours on the high-demand dates.

There are no surcharges for peak or high-demand dates.

The move provides the only national, guaranteed availability and rate jet cards on PC-12 or PC-24.
