Airshare

Airshare is a private aviation company founded in 2000 and headquartered in Overland Park, Kansas. This listing refers to its presence at Fort Worth Meacham International Airport in Texas.

The company offers fractional ownership, a jet card sold under the Embark name, on-demand charter, aircraft management and maintenance. Its fractional programme uses Challenger 3500 and Phenom 300 aircraft, and fractional and jet card products are offered in dedicated regions, which were recently extended into the Northeast and Southeast.

Airshare grew substantially in September 2023 when it acquired the aircraft management business of Wheels Up, roughly doubling its workforce to nearly 600 employees. The company says it operates about 150 aircraft through its management and fractional programmes, and charter flights are also offered through a wider network.

In July 2024 the investment firm Kompass Kapital announced a strategic investment and now leads Airshare's ownership group. Airshare's website displays ARGUS, Wyvern and IS-BAO marks and names the company as an official private aviation provider to the PGA of America and the Ryder Cup.

Flyers comparing programmes should check which regions their fractional or jet card terms cover and how charter trips outside the managed fleet are sourced.
