PlaneSmart! Aviation

PlaneSmart! Aviation is a private aviation company based in Addison, Texas, north of Dallas. Its charter arm, PlaneSmart! Charter, is a Part 135 operator under FAA oversight.

The company offers on-demand charter and corporate shuttle flights. It also offers aircraft leasing, where lessees get shared access to aircraft and can fly themselves or hire a pilot, and a self-piloted Cirrus program for owner-pilots.

For owners, PlaneSmart! offers aircraft management, including maintenance oversight, records and upkeep. Owners can place their aircraft on the charter certificate or lease it back to offset costs. The company also coordinates shared ownership, supplies pilots on request and helps buyers find piston, turboprop or jet aircraft.

The website lists aircraft access from turboprops through light, midsize, super-midsize and heavy jets. It does not publish a fleet list. Search-result snippets from an operator directory describe a small Addison-based charter fleet that has included a Cessna M2 and a Pilatus PC-12. Flyers should ask which aircraft are on the company's own certificate and which are arranged through other operators.

Search-result snippets say the business began in 2003 in Austin, Texas, with managed shared ownership, before opening at Addison Airport (KADS).
