Flight Options’ foundation since its launch in October 1998 has been the tenet that a fractional share in a pre-owned jet makes better financial sense than one in a new jet, and it is a notion some 750 owners have embraced in the past 3.5 years. Now, however, Flight Options’ marketing people are tasked with convincing potential buyers that the Cleveland-based operator is also the best place to buy a share in a new airplane.

Enter “Factory-supported Pricing” (FSP), a program that Flight Options CEO Kenn Ricci says reflects “the real cost of operating a new airplane–taking into consideration the aircraft’s factory warranty for the airframe, engines and avionics. Newer aircraft are less expensive to maintain, and [FSP] is simply an honest way to price a fractional program that uses new aircraft.”
