2. Executive Company Overview

Airshare is a U.S.-based private aviation company headquartered in Overland Park, Kansas, providing fractional aircraft ownership, the EMBARK jet-card program, whole-aircraft management, private jet charter and aircraft maintenance services. Founded as Executive Airshare in Wichita in 2000, the company has developed a multi-service operating platform serving private individuals, businesses and aircraft owners across the United States. Its fractional fleet is centered on Embraer Phenom 300-series aircraft and Bombardier Challenger 3500s, while its aircraft-management business encompasses a substantially broader fleet ranging from turboprops and light jets through large-cabin and ultra-long-range aircraft. (Airshare)

A defining element of Airshare’s fractional model is its emphasis on travel days rather than a conventional hours-only allocation. The company owns and maintains its fractional fleet and offers customers the ability to interchange between the Phenom 300 and Challenger 3500 subject to program terms. In September 2024, Airshare expanded fractional ownership, fractional leases and EMBARK jet cards throughout the lower 48 U.S. states. (Airshare)

Airshare’s scale changed significantly in September 2023 when Executive AirShare LLC acquired Circadian Aviation, which held Wheels Up’s aircraft-management business. Approximately 90 managed aircraft and more than 300 employees were associated with the transaction, more than tripling Airshare’s managed-aircraft portfolio at closing. The transaction is independently documented in Wheels Up’s SEC filings. (Airshare)

In July 2024, private-equity firm Kompass Kapital became Airshare’s controlling/lead investor. At that time Airshare reported nearly 600 employees and a combined operated/managed fleet approaching 150 aircraft. Current Airshare materials use somewhat lower or broader fleet descriptions, including “more than 100 aircraft” and approximately 140 aircraft maintained or operated by its maintenance organization, so a single precise current fleet count should not be inferred without further confirmation. (Airshare)

8. Fleet Information

Fractional Fleet

Core Manufacturers: Embraer and Bombardier
Current Primary Models: Phenom 300 and Challenger 3500 (Airshare)

Airshare states that it owns and maintains its fractional fleet. (Airshare)

Managed Fleet

Airshare manages aircraft across most major business-aviation classes and manufacturers. Its 2023 acquisition of Wheels Up’s management division added approximately 90 managed aircraft. (Airshare)

Overall Fleet Size

There is a material date-dependent variance in Airshare’s published fleet figures:

Approximately 150 aircraft — Airshare — September 2024. Airshare reported that its fleet was “approaching 150 aircraft” after the Wheels Up management acquisition. (Airshare)

More than 100 aircraft — Airshare — December 2025. The company’s ARGUS announcement described more than 100 aircraft across management, fractional and jet-card programs. (Airshare)

Approximately 140 aircraft — Airshare maintenance page — current page crawled September 2026. Airshare states its maintenance staff is responsible for operating and maintaining a fleet of around 140 aircraft. (Airshare)

Because the scope and wording differ, PrivateJetia should not publish a single exact current fleet figure as independently verified.

Recommended directory presentation:
Fleet: Approximately 100–150 aircraft depending on reporting scope and period; exact current total requires company confirmation.

Featured Charter Aircraft

Airshare currently displays aircraft including:

16. Key Differentiators

3. Standardized Fractional Fleet With Broader Managed Fleet

Fractional customers use a concentrated Phenom 300 / Challenger 3500 fleet, while aircraft-management operations cover aircraft from turboprops to Gulfstream, Global and Falcon long-range aircraft. (Airshare)

4. Substantial Aircraft-Management Scale

The 2023 acquisition of approximately 90 aircraft from Wheels Up transformed Airshare’s aircraft-management operation and materially expanded its national footprint. (Airshare)

7. Nationwide Fractional Availability

Requires Verification

Exact Current Fleet Size

Airshare has used multiple figures across different periods and scopes:

• approaching 150 aircraft in 2024;
• more than 100 in December 2025;
• around 140 maintained/operated on its current maintenance page.

This is not necessarily contradictory because aircraft can enter and leave management contracts and the statements may use different fleet definitions. Nevertheless, the exact September 2026 fleet count should be confirmed directly with Airshare before publishing an exact number. (Airshare)

Exact Fractional Fleet Count

Models are verified, but the current number of Phenom 300 and Challenger 3500 aircraft is not publicly established with sufficient confidence.

Current Employee Count

Nearly 600 was reported in 2024. A precise September 2026 count is not publicly disclosed.

Revenue / Financial Performance

Airshare is privately held and does not publicly disclose sufficiently authoritative current revenue, EBITDA or profitability figures.

Number of Customers / Shareowners

Current total not publicly disclosed.

Exact Kompass Kapital Equity Percentage

Not publicly disclosed.

Complete International Charter Coverage

Airshare reports international charter capability, but a country-by-country service list is not publicly disclosed.

Average Fleet Age

Not publicly disclosed.

Aircraft Utilization / Annual Flight Hours

A sufficiently current company-wide figure was not independently verified.

25. Information Last Verified

Information Last Verified: September 19, 2026

Research Confidence: High

Important Data Gaps: Exact current total fleet size; exact fractional fleet count; current employee count; revenue and profitability; precise Kompass Kapital ownership percentage; total active customers/shareowners; comprehensive office/base list; complete international country coverage; current aircraft-by-aircraft fleet distribution; average fleet age.

PrivateJetia Editorial Note: Airshare has undergone unusually substantial structural change since 2023. For publication, the most important distinction is to avoid presenting its approximately 150-aircraft 2024 figure as a fixed 2026 fleet count. The strongest current description is that Airshare operates and manages a large nationwide fleet exceeding 100 aircraft, with its current maintenance operation referencing approximately 140 aircraft, while the exact total remains subject to aircraft-management additions and departures.
