Malta-based HansJet has launched two new access programs built around the Pilatus PC-12, offering flexible private aviation options to European clients who fly more than 50 hours annually. The programs are designed to reduce entry barriers by requiring no upfront investment.
The company’s “Pinnacle” membership model features guaranteed availability within 48 hours, fixed hourly rates, and no asset ownership or depreciation. Members also gain access to HansTravel, the company’s concierge lifestyle service offering curated experiences and travel partnerships.
The second offering, “Distinction,” is a fractional ownership program structured around typical 25% shares in a PC-12, with five-year commitments and an option to extend. The company provides full operational and management support to owners under this model.
HansJet said it will launch with four aircraft, including PC-12NG and NGX variants. The aircraft are registered in Malta and operated under the AOC of Alliance Executive Jets, based in Dublin.
“We are delighted to deliver this Pilatus PC-12 membership program,” said HansJet founder Hans Cauchi. “Our clients can enjoy private aviation with the same benefits as aircraft owners, but without upfront investment. They simply pay for the time they fly.”
HansJet’s branded fleet remains available for on-demand charter through brokers, who can also participate as agents for the new programs, offering their clients guaranteed availability during high-demand periods.
