The private aviation industry can be confusing and the many options available make it nearly impossible for a laymen like me to figure out. I didn’t know whether I should purchase a jet card or a fractional share or how to evaluate the particulars of a contract for either option. With a big dollar investment like this, I wanted to make the most informed decision possible. I couldn’t have done that without the excellent advice and counsel of Shaircraft Solutions.

The consultancy came highly recommended from a friend and I researched some of my options via the Shaircraft Connections online forum (www.shaircraft.com) . The site offered useful, unbiased information from actual customers and private aviation travelers . I learned a lot but, in the end, I wanted Shaircraft to look at my particular needs, and advise me as to the best way to go.

Shaircraft did just that and even identified some options I didn’t know about. They essentially bid out my investment to various providers, negotiated on my behalf and came back with a great deal. Then they negotiated the contracts. The final redline of the contracts showed more than 150 changes, most all of which I wouldn’t have even known to raise, but which really enhanced my deal.

Shaircraft’s CEO, James Butler , handled the matter personally. He really fought for me. In the end, I know I made the best possible deal. I give Shaircraft Solutions and Mr. Butler my highest recommendation.
