Ownership Economics

Cashflow

Unlike most private aviation programs where aircraft sit idle, Soma Jets deploys its PC-12’s year-round through managed aerial firefighting operations, creating an opportunity for revenue when you’re not flying.

Revenue at Work When You’re Not

Aircraft are deployed on government and private firefighting contracts
Contract revenue offsets operating costs, maintenance, hangar, and insurance
Profits beyond expenses are distributed annually based on ownership share

While results vary by deployment schedule, many owners experience reduced out-of-pocket flight costs, partial or full offsets of annual operating expenses, and potential year-end distributions tied to contract performance.

Cost

¼ share in a Pilatus PC‑12 with Soma Jets: $975,000

If you’re flying private more than a few times a year, chartering can quickly become expensive and unpredictable. With a ¼ share in a Pilatus PC‑12, you gain guaranteed access at a fixed, discounted hourly rate; with none of the markup or fluctuation that comes with on-demand charter.

Predictable Budgeting. No Surprises
