Fleet Jet Card
Buy the hours. Skip the broker.
Prepaid access to the same five Challengers we fly every day, at a rate below what a broker quotes, for travel you can see coming five days out.
What the Fleet Jet Card is
A jet card is prepaid flight time. You buy hours up front at an agreed hourly rate, then draw them down trip by trip instead of pricing every flight from scratch. Most cards on the market are sold by brokers, who do not own aircraft and source each trip from whichever operator has something free that day. You get a card, a call centre, and a different aircraft, crew and standard every time.
Ours is an operator's card. CRAFT holds its own FAA Part 135 certificate, owns the five Challengers, maintains them in its own shop, and employs the crews who fly them. When you call, you are talking to the company that controls the aircraft, and the margin a broker would take is simply not in the price.
The trade is notice. Callouts run on a five-day minimum, and that planning window is the whole reason the rate works. If your travel is unpredictable, this is the wrong product and on-demand charter will serve you better. If your trips are already on the calendar, you are paying a premium you do not need to.
How it works
- 01
Buy your hours
The card starts at 25 hours a year. We quote the rate against how you actually fly, then you fund the card once and stop negotiating a price per trip.
- 02
Call five days out
Callouts run on a five-day minimum. That notice is what lets us position an aircraft and a crew efficiently, and it is exactly what pays for the rate being below a broker's.
- 03
Talk to the operator
You deal with the people who hold the certificate and employ the crew. Nothing gets relayed to a third party and back, which is where most of the delay and most of the mistakes come from.
- 04
Fly, and draw down
Your flight time comes off the card. Same fleet, same crews, same cabin every trip, so nothing about the experience resets when you book again.
The terms
What the card is, in plain numbers. The hourly rate is the one thing not printed here, and deliberately: it depends on how many hours you buy and the kind of flying you do, so a number on a web page would be wrong for almost everyone reading it. Ask and you get a real one.

Card, charter, or a share?
These are three different products and the honest answer is that the right one depends on how often you fly and how far ahead you know about it. We would rather tell you the card is wrong for you than sell you one you resent.
Occasional or unpredictable travel
On-demand charter
Pay per trip, decide nothing in advance, commit to nothing. The most flexible and the most expensive per hour. Right for a handful of trips a year, or for anything you cannot see coming.
Book a trip →Regular travel you can plan
The Fleet Jet Card
Hours bought up front at a lower agreed rate, on a five-day callout, flown on our own aircraft. Right when the same kinds of trips keep appearing on your calendar.
Get pricing →You already own, or will buy, a Challenger
Leaseback
Your aircraft joins our certificate. We carry crew, maintenance and compliance, the ownership tax benefits stay yours, and you keep flying even when your tail is down for maintenance.
See leaseback →What the card actually buys
Five Bombardier Challengers, three 300s and two 350s. One type across the whole fleet, which matters more than it sounds: the crews are trained on the same aircraft, the maintenance is the same, and the cabin you sit in does not change if we have to move you to a different tail. Card programmes that source from the open market cannot promise that.
The 300 flies about 3,000 miles nonstop and the 350 about 3,200, which covers the United States coast to coast without a fuel stop. Every cabin is stand-up height with a flat floor, and fitted with Starlink, Live TV and Bluetooth audio. See the aircraft, or read how other jet card programmes compare.

We'll tell you the rate.
Roughly how many hours a year, the routes you repeat, and how much notice you usually have. That is enough for a real number rather than a range, and enough for us to say if the card is the wrong answer for you.
