Jet Card Confusion? Meet Co-Lease: The Best Jet Card Alternative

Written by Jet OUT staff | Jun 19, 2025 3:09:25 PM

If you’ve researched traditional jet cards, private jet memberships, or charter you’ve probably seen it all: layers of fine print, fluctuating prices, peak day surcharges, and more fees than a luxury hotel minibar.

At Jet OUT, we believe there’s a better way. We call it Co-Lease.

What is Co-Lease? With Co-Lease 10, you gain 10 full days of aircraft access per year — ideal for those accustomed to a 25-hour jet card. But unlike traditional hourly programs, Jet OUT is built around days, not hours — giving you the freedom to fly as your day demands, without watching the clock.

For those seeking more access, Co-Lease 20 is the most common choice among clients transitioning from 50-hour jet cards. It offers 20 full days of use per year — but without the rigid constraints of an hourly limit. You can fly more or less depending on your needs, making each day as productive and flexible as you choose.

Here’s what truly sets Jet OUT apart: we maximize the value of each day through empty leg sharing and resale opportunities, driving down effective costs for Co-Lease members. Whether your day includes a single leg or multiple stops, your pricing remains predictable, your travel assured, and your time fully optimized.

Why Co-Lease Wins vs. Jet Cards

Other jet card programs might look appealing—until you see the hidden fees:

  • Fuel surcharges
  • Pet fees
  • Wi-Fi usage fees
  • Peak day fees
  • Minimum daily flight hours
  • Taxi-time billing
  • Cancellation/change penalties

Jet OUT eliminates all of these. We bill from when you take off to when you land, not from when the engines start. That means more value per hour—no inflated bills, no gotchas.

And yes—pets fly free.

Predictability + Performance = Peace of Mind

And unlike jet card operators using aging aircraft, Jet OUT's fleet includes factory-new Citation CJ4 Gen2s, delivered directly from Wichita, Kansas. As of today, our average fleet model year is 2023.

Our Fleet (Citation CJ4 Gen2):

  • 2022: N417NE
  • 2023: N423NE, N68NE
  • 2024: N824NE, N623NE
  • 2025: N812NE

That’s modern reliability, advanced avionics, and luxurious interiors—every time you fly.

Transparent Pricing—Finally

We’ve done the math. At 50 occupied hours per year, over 20 days of Co-Lease access, the all-in cost averages $7,040 per occupied hour. That includes everything: aircraft, pilots, fuel, taxes, maintenance, insurance—no surprises.

That’s predictability you can plan around.

Not Trying to Be Everything—for Everyone

Let’s be real: no one provider does it all. And that’s okay.

Jet OUT isn’t trying to replace every private flying option. We believe in doing what we do better than anyone else—offering a boutique, flexible, and fair Co-Lease program backed by factory-new Citation CJ4 Gen2 aircraft delivered straight from Wichita, Kansas, and supported by concierge-level service. Our Co-Lease program is ideal for those who want to make multiple stops in a day or fly frequently from or to one of our bases in the network. Enjoy the predictability and reliability of using the aircraft as if you owned the entire jet, without the long-term commitment.

If you fly frequently, have used jet cards, or are tired of the runaround from your current provider, Co-Lease is worth a look.
