Why JetSuite
A New Model
Why tie yourself to the many pitfalls of fractional ownership? Residual value risks, unknown and ever-changing tax laws, contracts that run hundreds of pages, the headaches and unexpected expenses of maintenance, the liabilities of operational control, and monthly fees whether you fly or not.
The JetSuite Card removes all of this and cuts the actual cost of flying private in half.
With JetSuite’s Card, you only pay for what you fly, and the more you fly, the lower your hourly costs.
Finally, the JetSuite 25-Card actually costs less than the Marquis Jet 25 Hour Jet Card.
