Compare Starbase Jet Charter to Fractional Programs
Fractional programs provide good quality aircraft with guaranteed access year round, but can be among the most expensive ways to fly private jets if you are a frequent flyer.

Starbase can provide any aircraft of your choosing, with dedicated Sales and Flight Professionals, and guarantee at least 10% savings on your flight. Why not try Starbase Jet Charter and continue to enjoy luxury private jet travel in new aircraft at substantial savings?

5 Questions to Ask Before Purchasing Your Next Fractional Share or Jet Card
Do I absolutely need guaranteed access to a jet on 6 to 10 hours notice year round?
Today’s private jet options are drastically different than 5 or 10 years ago. Now, access to new, high quality aircraft are available world wide and more aircraft owners are willing to make their aircraft available for charter to help offset expenses in the current economy. All of the charter operators are connected through the internet to provide real-time availability of their aircraft and offer special deals on one-way flights. The jet charter market today acts much more like a virtual fleet so you can access any type of aircraft in the country. Bottom-line is if you usually know your schedule a day or two in advance and travel to common destinations, then Starbase can fly you in new, high quality aircraft at a substantial savings compared to any fractional or jet card program.
What is my personal or business financial situation going to be like over the next 2-5 years?
No one can say for sure what the economy will do over the next two to five years. Hold on to your capital and use Starbase on an on-demand basis. Pay as you go provides you ultimate freedom and allows you to increase or decrease your jet travel flights as your personal or business situation changes.
What could I do with the capital or deposit fee required to buy a fractional share or jet card?
Tying up hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars in a down economy is probably not what your looking for right now, especially when the asset you’re buying is a depreciating asset and not providing you a return. Why not hang on to your money and only pay for your private jet travel when you actually need a flight.
Do I like personalized attention on every flight and knowing my jet company is working for my best interests?
Bigger is not always better for you. Hundreds of aircraft in the fleet is great, but only when it is proportionate to the amount of customers flying on those aircraft. Flying on private jets is about luxury, convenience and efficiency. You should not feel like a number when you call up to book a flight. Starbase provides personalized service with a dedicated Sales Professional to provide you the best options on each trip. Each Sales Professional is also backed up by our 24/7/365 flight coordination team to make sure every detail of your flight is handled. When you call Starbase, we’ll know who you are and we will not need to ask for your contract or company ID number
How would the ability to choose a specific jet for each flight affect my comfort on each trip?
Some flights might be 1 hour flights with only you on board. Other flights you may need to impress some important clients and fly them on Gulfstream or Challenger aircraft. While some programs allow you flexibility on the aircraft size, Starbase can provide your specific jet preference for each trip you fly.
