Ventura Charter Lease Program
for Challenger 604/605/650 and Citation Excel/XLS/XLS+ owners
Pragmatic Jet Ownership — Built with Owners in Mind
The Ventura Charter Lease Program is the most pragmatic, owner-friendly and enduring lease model in the industry — delivering predictable income with total downside protection, operational freedom, and worry-free access to private aviation through a program that works for both owner and operator.
A Better Alternative to Traditional Aircraft Management
Most charter management programs favor the operator — not the owner. They require the owner to bear all the risks for fixed and variable costs, while the management company keep revenue until expenses are covered. That often leaves the owner hoping for what’s left — if anything.
These models create misaligned incentives, surprise costs, and unnecessary operational burden – often requiring owners to make daily decisions pertaining to their aircraft.
Ventura has flipped the model.
Reliable Income with Downside Protection
Earn more. Worry less.
In traditional charter programs, owners carry the costs and hope for upside. Ventura’s program guarantees predictable income and full coverage of all regular fixed and variable costs —so you get paid first, not last.
- Challenger owners in our program earn on average about $310k per year.
- Citation Excel owners earn on average about $200k per year.
- Ventura covers 100% of your regular fixed and variable costs: crew, maintenance, insurance, training, subscriptions, and more – under clear defined terms.
- No surprise expenses. No ambiguous exclusions. Just clear terms and monthly payments you can count on.
And when you fly with Ventura, you save. Owners in our Charter Lease Program enjoy preferred rates across the Ventura fleet and even on charter trips beyond your aircraft category.
It’s a revenue model grounded in operational discipline—not aggressive projections—engineered to perform in real-world conditions.
