AirShares Elite Cirrus SR22

Key Takeaways:

AirShares Elite fractional ownership allows pilots to access more capable aircraft, like the Cirrus SR22, at a significantly lower cost than full ownership, offering both purchase shares and new lease options to suit different pilot needs and budgets.
The program provides exceptional aircraft availability and customer service, with staff going "above and beyond" to accommodate scheduling requests, largely due to placing multiple identical aircraft at each location.
AirShares consistently upgrades its fleet (e.g., to newer SR22s with advanced avionics and ice protection based on owner consensus) and has expanded benefits such as nationwide aircraft availability for its members.

What’s the ideal airplane? For most of us, it’s the one that goes a few knots faster, travels a little farther or carries a bit more weight than the one we’re currently flying. As in the rest of life, however, such improvements in utility and convenience come at a price. Want more airplane? Be prepared to pay more for it.
