About Matrix AirShare

Built by an owner, for owners.

Matrix AirShare exists because private aviation has drifted toward serving only the wealthiest tier — while a large, underserved group of financially successful people burns hours in traffic, wondering why no one's built a sensible alternative.

"I built this program because nothing existed to service anyone but the wealthiest billionaires — and I thought, why should they be the only ones who could bypass that horrible 4½-hour drive on I-95 or the LIE?"

Why Matrix AirShare exists

The seam nobody else is serving.

If you've priced a NetJets or Flexjet share, you know the math doesn't work unless you're flying 200+ hours a year or have nine figures in the bank. If you've tried charter, you know the availability uncertainty and peak-day pricing make it unreliable as a regular solution. And sole ownership — the hangar, the maintenance, the insurance, the pilot logistics — is a second job you didn't sign up for.

Matrix AirShare was designed to occupy the space between all of those. True equity co-ownership under Part 91, professionally managed, with a deliberately small group of owners — 10 across two aircraft — so the math on availability actually works. No points. No memberships. No 16 owners sharing a single tail.

The aircraft we select will be capable, IFR-equipped, and matched to the missions our founding owners actually fly: second homes, college towns, regional offices, and weekend escapes in the 300–700 nm band where a well-flown piston is every bit as effective as a turboprop at a fraction of the cost.

This isn't a compromise product for people who can't afford better. It's the right tool, intelligently structured, for people who run the numbers and make rational decisions — which is exactly the kind of owner we're looking for.

≈15%

of comparable jet program costs

On similar Northeast missions at ~60 hours/year, Matrix AirShare targets an all-in cost roughly 85% below light jet share programs.

5:1

Owner-to-aircraft ratio

10 owners across two aircraft. Traditional fractional programs run 16+ owners per tail. Our ratio is engineered for a 98% mission success rate.

Part 91

True co-ownership — not a membership

You hold an undivided equity interest in the aircraft. Real ownership with real governance rights, not hours in an account that expire.

Program philosophy

Clarity, transparency, and conservative assumptions.

Co-ownership only works when expectations are clear and economics are grounded in real-world experience. Matrix AirShare is structured around four commitments:

Transparent cost structure

Acquisition, fixed, and variable costs are separated so owners understand exactly what drives the hourly rate — and what reserves are being funded for future engine, prop, and major maintenance events. No surprises.

No hidden fees

Conservative dispatch expectations

Piston aircraft are extraordinary tools when flown within their weather and performance envelopes. We emphasize conservative go/no-go decision-making and contingency planning across all operations.

Safety-first culture

Aligned incentives

Management fees are structured to reward long-term aircraft health and owner satisfaction — not short-term utilization at any cost. Our interests run parallel to yours.

Owner-first governance

Clear operating boundaries

From day one, owners know where the aircraft will be based, how scheduling works, how crew is managed, and what the exit provisions look like. No ambiguity about what you're buying into.
