A managed private aircraft co-ownership program for frequent Northeast travelers
Experience private travel for 60% less than turboprops and 85% less than jet programs. Matrix AirShare is optimized for the Northeast missions you fly most — from business trips and college visits to your second home.
For owners whose flying centers on regional business trips, family visits, college-town weekends, and second homes — jets and turboprops are often the wrong tool at the wrong price. Matrix AirShare flips that model by focusing on aircraft that meet those missions perfectly, without the unnecessary cost.
These four examples illustrate real Northeast missions and what they'll cost a Matrix AirShare co-owner, compared to turboprop and jet alternatives.*
| Your Mission | Flight Time | Drive Time | PC-12 Turboprop | Phenom 300 Jet | MA All-In Cost* |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| FRG → Cornell (ITH) Long Island · college visit or parents' weekend |

| TEB → East Hampton (JPX) NYC / NJ · Hamptons weekend |
32m | 2h 30m+ | ~$4,500+ | ~$9,000+ | ~$1,870 |
| CDW → Martha's Vineyard (MVY) North Jersey · island escape |
1h 02m | 4h 30m+ | ~$5,500+ | ~$10,500+ | ~$2,220 |
| HPN → Cape Cod (HYA) Westchester / Greenwich · summer home |
0h 59m | 4h 45m+ | ~$6,500+ | ~$12,500+ | ~$2,300 |
While traditional fractional programs often manage up to 16 owners per tail, Matrix AirShare limits the group to just 10 owners sharing a two-aircraft fleet. This 5:1 ratio is designed to ensure the aircraft is a tool for your schedule, not a logistical hurdle. Extensive flight-demand simulations show a 98% mission success rate, even during peak Northeast travel windows. We've engineered the conflict out of the system so you can just show up and fly.

→ Meet the full teamThe aircraft is decided. A six-seat Beechcraft Bonanza G36 — State-of-the-art Garmin G1000 panel, club leather seating, right-side clamshell entry/baggage door. Comparable to roughly $1.5M of new airframe at end of production. The proven high-performance single of private aviation, with 75 years of continuous production and the deepest parts and service ecosystem behind it. Built for the 150–500 NM Northeast missions our owners actually fly.
Scheduling framework, pilot standards, hangar, maintenance plan, operational guidelines, regulatory documents — all in place. We aren't figuring it out; we're closing on the airframe and going operational the moment the founding owner group is ready. No major hurdles between today and your first flight — just the green light from the founding owners.
Aircraft and operations are professionally managed to the highest standards, with maintenance by FAA-certified shops and flights by type-current commercial pilots — for owners who want a crew-managed experience with none of the hassles of private ownership. All the perks of the private experience, nowhere near the cost.
