European Pilatus PC-12 operator HansJet is registering strong demand for its recently-launched fractional ownership offering, according to the company. The initiative represents a move away from a business model purely focused on ad hoc charter.

Speaking to AIN at the recent Aero Friedrichshafen show, the Malta-based company's Cesar Laugier said member numbers are growing faster than expected. Although charter still comprises most of HansJet’s business—with each of its PC-12s flying some 800 hours a year—the company sees this balance starting to shift increasingly towards its membership options.
