AIRCRAFT CO-OWNERSHIP · INDIA
Own a Share of a
Business Jet.
Airlogic structures fractional aircraft ownership arrangements for the Cessna Citation CJ2+ — giving you scheduled access to a capable business jet at a fraction of the capital cost of sole ownership. Transparent pricing. No broker layer. Direct management by a qualified pilot.
HOW CO-OWNERSHIP WORKS
Four Steps from Enquiry to First Flight
Airlogic manages the entire co-ownership structuring process — from initial feasibility through to SPV formation, aircraft acquisition and ongoing management. Here is how it works.
1
Initial Consultation
You speak directly with the founder. We establish your flying requirement — routes, frequency, passenger numbers, preferred departure base — and assess whether co-ownership makes financial sense for your profile. If it does not, we will tell you.
2
Ownership Proposal
Airlogic prepares a full co-ownership proposal: aircraft specification, share size options (typically 1/4 or 1/3), capital requirement, monthly fixed costs, variable rates and projected annual utilisation. Every number is fully itemised and independently verifiable.
3
SPV Formation & Acquisition
Once co-owners are confirmed, Airlogic structures the Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) that legally holds the aircraft. We coordinate the aircraft purchase, DGCA registration, insurance and management agreement. Every owner receives complete documentation.
4
Managed Operations
From the first flight, Airlogic manages scheduling, crew coordination, maintenance planning and cost reporting. Monthly statements show every expense with full receipts. Owners receive guaranteed access hours and can book with a defined notice period.
THE AIRCRAFT
Cessna Citation
CJ2+
A serious aircraft for serious operators. Fast enough to change how you think about distance in India — Mumbai to Delhi in under 90 minutes, Delhi to Bengaluru in under 2 hours. Quiet, pressurised cabin, capable crew, low operating cost relative to its speed class.
The Williams FJ44-3A engines are among the most reliable in the light jet category — long time-between-overhaul, straightforward maintenance, well-supported in India.

THE ECONOMICS
Three Ways to Access a Business Jet.
Only One Makes Financial Sense.
These are indicative figures based on the CJ2+ at current market values. Every co-ownership proposal Airlogic prepares includes a full independent cost schedule. The numbers below are directional — your actual figures will depend on aircraft age, share size and utilisation.
Full Ownership
Capital required
₹21–33 crore
Monthly fixed costs
₹8–14 lakh/month
Variable (per hour)
₹40,000–55,000/hr
Annual cost (100 hrs)
₹5.0–7.5 crore
AIRLOGIC MODEL
Co-Ownership (1/4 Share)
Capital required
₹5–8 crore
Monthly fixed costs
₹3–5 lakh/month
Variable (per hour)
₹40,000–55,000/hr
Annual cost (100 hrs)
₹1.4–2.0 crore
On-Demand Charter
Capital required
₹0
Monthly fixed costs
₹0
Variable (per hour)
₹2.5–4.0 lakh/hr
Annual cost (100 hrs)
₹2.5–4.0 crore
Break-even point vs charter: If you fly more than 80–100 hours per year, co-ownership costs less than charter — and you have a managed asset rather than a receipt. The 1/4 share gives you up to 250 hours. At 100 hours, you are paying approximately ₹65,000–75,000 per hour all-in versus ₹2.5–4.0 lakh per hour on charter.
WHAT OWNERS RECEIVE
Everything That Comes With Your Share
A co-ownership arrangement through Airlogic is not a booking right. It is a documented ownership stake in a real asset, managed by people who are accountable to you.
✈
Guaranteed Flying Hours
Your share size defines your minimum annual flying hours — typically 200–250 hours for a 1/4 share. These are guaranteed, not subject to aircraft availability, and carry forward within the operating year.
📋
Full Cost Transparency
Monthly operating statements with every expense itemised and supported by receipts. Fuel, crew, maintenance, insurance, hangarage — nothing is aggregated into a management fee you cannot interrogate.
⚙
Professional Aircraft Management
Airlogic manages scheduling, crew rostering, maintenance tracking and regulatory compliance. Owners deal with one point of contact. The aircraft is always airworthy, always current, always ready.
🔒
Legal Ownership via SPV
Your share is held through a properly documented Special Purpose Vehicle structure — not a membership scheme, not a lease right. Real ownership, real documentation, clean entry and exit provisions.
📅
Flexible Scheduling
Owners book with a defined notice period — typically 48–72 hours for routine bookings, with provision for urgent same-day requests. A scheduling protocol is agreed at SPV formation and applies equally to all owners.
🤝
No Broker Between You and the Aircraft
Airlogic is the manager, not a broker. There is no commission on your flying hours, no markup on operator costs, and no incentive for us to increase your bills. Our fee is fixed and declared in the management agreement.
THE OWNERSHIP STRUCTURE
How the SPV Structure Works
A Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) is a separate legal entity created specifically to hold the aircraft. It isolates the asset legally, makes ownership stakes clearly defined and documented, and provides a clean mechanism for entry and exit.
The SPV Entity
A Private Limited company is incorporated under Indian company law specifically to own and operate the aircraft. Each co-owner holds shares in the SPV proportional to their ownership stake. The aircraft, its registration, insurance and all operating agreements sit within this entity.
Shareholder Rights
Each shareholder receives flying hours, cost allocations and governance rights proportional to their stake. A shareholders agreement governs scheduling priority, maintenance decisions, additional capital calls and the process for selling or transferring a share.
Entry and Exit
Entry: purchase of shares in the SPV at a price based on current aircraft valuation. Exit: sale of shares to an incoming owner or to existing co-owners at a pre-agreed valuation methodology. Airlogic manages the transition. There is no lock-in period beyond the initial management agreement term.
Important: Airlogic does not own shares in the SPV. We are the management company — appointed by and accountable to the shareholders. Our interest is aligned with the aircraft being well-managed and the owners being satisfied. We have no financial incentive to increase costs or extend the arrangement beyond what owners want.
WHY AIRLOGIC
What Makes This Different
From Every Other Offer in the Market
Co-ownership schemes in India range from well-structured to deeply opaque. The difference is almost always in who is managing the arrangement and what their incentives actually are.
Managed by a Pilot, Not a Sales Team.
The person structuring your co-ownership arrangement holds a commercial pilot licence with type ratings on aircraft in the same class as the CJ2+. When you ask about operating economics, maintenance cycles or route capability, the answer comes from direct operational experience. Not a brochure.
No Commission on Your Operations.
Airlogic charges a fixed monthly management fee declared in the management agreement. We do not earn a percentage of fuel costs, maintenance invoices or handling fees. Every operational cost is passed through at the actual invoice rate. You can verify every number independently.
Currently Building the First Arrangement.
Airlogic is in the pipeline-building phase for the first CJ2+ co-ownership. This means early participants help shape the structure, have direct access to the founder throughout, and join an arrangement built around their specific requirements — not inherited from a pre-existing deal.
COMMON QUESTIONS
What Prospective Co-Owners Ask Us Most
Eight direct answers about ownership structure, costs, operations and what to expect from the process.
What exactly do I own in a co-ownership arrangement?
You own shares in a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) — a Private Limited company incorporated under Indian company law — that holds the aircraft. Your ownership percentage determines your guaranteed flying hours, your share of operating costs, and your rights under the shareholders agreement. It is real legal ownership, not a membership or leasing scheme.
What is the minimum investment for a 1/4 share in the CJ2+?
The capital requirement for a 1/4 share in a Cessna Citation CJ2+ depends on the specific aircraft selected — age, total time, recent maintenance and avionics configuration all affect valuation. As a directional figure, expect INR 5 to 8 crore for the share capital, plus monthly operating cost contributions of INR 3 to 5 lakh. Airlogic provides a full independently verifiable cost schedule before any commitment is requested.
How many hours can I fly per year on a 1/4 share?
A 1/4 share typically guarantees 200 to 250 flight hours per year, depending on the total annual utilisation agreed at SPV formation. Hours not used in a period do not simply lapse — the scheduling protocol and carry-forward provisions are agreed in the shareholders agreement and apply to all owners equally.
Can I sell my share if I want to exit?
Yes. The shareholders agreement includes a defined exit mechanism: you may sell your shares to an incoming owner or to existing co-owners at a valuation determined by the agreed methodology (typically current aircraft market value divided by total shares). Airlogic manages the transition. There is no penalty for exit after the initial management agreement term.
Is the aircraft registered in India?
Yes. The CJ2+ will be registered on the Indian civil aircraft register under the SPV entity, operated in compliance with DGCA requirements and with a valid Certificate of Airworthiness. All crew will hold appropriate DGCA licences and type ratings.
Who manages the aircraft day to day?
Airlogic manages all operational aspects: scheduling, crew coordination, maintenance planning, regulatory compliance and cost reporting. Owners interact with Airlogic for bookings and billing. The day-to-day operations are handled without requiring owner involvement beyond the booking process.
What if the aircraft needs a major maintenance event?
Major maintenance events (C-checks, engine overhauls, avionics upgrades) are funded through the maintenance reserve that all owners contribute to monthly, proportional to their share. The reserve rate is set at SPV formation based on the aircraft’s current condition and projected maintenance schedule. All expenditure is documented and reported.
How is this different from a time-share or fractional programme?
A time-share gives you a booking right with no asset ownership. A fractional programme typically involves a large operator where your fraction may be interchangeable with other aircraft in a fleet. An Airlogic co-ownership is a documented equity stake in a specific aircraft, managed by a company whose fee is fixed and transparent. You own something real. You know what you are paying for. You can verify every cost.
Register Your Interest
Airlogic is currently building the ownership group for the first CJ2+ co-ownership arrangement. If you fly more than 80 hours a year and want to understand whether this model makes financial sense for you, the first step is a direct conversation — no commitment, no pitch deck, no pressure to decide on the call.
You will speak with the founder. He will ask about your flying requirement, explain the structure honestly, and tell you whether it is a good fit. If it is not, he will tell you that too.
