Key Takeaways:

  • AirShares Elite, a Cirrus fractional ownership provider, abruptly ceased operations on December 1, informing members via terse emails in mid-November and promising refunds for their share value by December 31.
  • Former share owners are angered by the company's lack of communication and transparency regarding the shutdown and the rapid sale of the Cirrus fleet, with some suspecting the secrecy aimed to avoid depressing aircraft values.
  • Although the company's actions don't appear illegal under the existing agreements, members face a "tense waiting game" as they track the sale of their fractional aircraft and await their promised financial returns.

Former members of AirShares Elite, the Cirrus fractional ownership provider that ceased operations on December 1, are coming forward to tell their stories about the company’s sudden demise — except, they say, at this point there’s not much to tell.

Stunned share owners told Flying they received terse email messages in mid November informing them AirShares Elite would be shutting down at the end of the month. The messages said their airplanes would be sold and they would receive a check for their share value by the end of December.
