Shared Ownership FAQs

1. Why is it so much less expensive to own and fly a new IndUS Aviation Thorpedo Aircraft with LetsFly as compared to other fractional ownership companies?
LetsFly.org is the ultimate "shared ownership" program. It is not a franchise, flying club, co-ownership, flight school, or FBO. LetsFly.org is an aviation cooperative. While it utilizes the positive aspects of these programs, it is fundamentally different: LetsFly cooperatives are "subsidized" by our providers, focus on the members, are locally owned and operated, utilize the resources of all it's members, are cooperative rather than competitive in nature and collectively obtain better discounts and benefits, etc. These and other "built in" savings and benefits make it easy and affordable for nearly everyone to own and fly a new aircraft.

2. Why can't I start my own co-ownership, flying club or fractional ownership program without the Letsfly Cooperative System?
A person can continue these traditional ways of doing business in aviation. However, highly successful cooperatives have been used in other industries; sometimes out of necessity such as in settling the west in the 1800's or for the survival of an industry. Cooperatives were used at other times because of their principles and practices which produce a more desirable result. The LetsFly Cooperative System has adapted these principles to an aviation business plan and has produced the following results: Better capitalization, financing and utilization; lower insurance, marketing and advertising costs, as well as better group discounts. In addition, the cooperative efforts and resources of members, manufacturers, and other providers lower the cost of flying further and provide extra income earning capabilities. Members may also receive discounts and fly aircraft at other flight centers.

Fly To Own FAQs

1. Do the Fly To Own credits accumulate when I fly at other cooperatives?
