PlaneSense still operates a large fleet of turboprops but, like AirSprint and Airshare, has taken on jets.

Fractional demand remains at a feverish pace with no signs of slowing for the foreseeable future, executives in the market segment agreed. However, political and trade uncertainties had a ripple effect on the sector’s operations in the first quarter, and continue to create a small dip in trips to the U.S. from Canadian operator AirSprint, fractional executives told the recent JetNet iQ Summit in Washington, D.C.

AirSprint CEO James Elian, PlaneSense president and CEO George Antoniadis, and Airshare CEO John Owen participated on a panel at the JetNet annual event discussing their growing businesses and how they are keeping up with demand.
