PlaneSense is a fractional aircraft ownership program managed by PlaneSense, Inc. and based in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, United States. As of the beginning of 2016, they manage a civilian fleet of 36 total program aircraft, made up of thirty-four Pilatus PC-12 aircraft and 2 Nextant 400 XTi twin-engine jet aircraft. More Nextant 400XTi jets are also on order, and six Pilatus PC-24 twin-engine jets are scheduled to be delivered between the years 2017 and 2020. The PlaneSense fractional program provides private air transportation, primarily within the United States, Canada, Mexico, The Bahamas, and the islands of the Caribbean. PlaneSense guarantees departure times as soon as 8 hours after a flight request, depending on the size of the aircraft share owned for domestic flights on non-peak days. PlaneSense, inc. is not, itself, an air charter provider or commercial air carrier, but charter flights can be arranged through its sister company, Cobalt Air.
PlaneSense, Inc., formerly named Alpha Flying, Inc. was founded in 1992. The name was changed on 1 February 2012 to PlaneSense, Inc.. Originally based in Norwood, Massachusetts, Alpha Flying, Inc. was founded by George Antoniadis, initially as a supplemental program to the, then, Alpha Flying Club, which provided rental and management of high performance piston and turbine powered general aviation aircraft. In 1995, the PlaneSense program was founded with the first Pilatus PC-12 delivered on 9 September 1995. In 1998, they moved to a facility at Nashua Airport. In 2000, they moved to a facility at Manchester-Boston Regional Airport. In 2007, they moved to a new custom built facility at Portsmouth International Airport at Pease in Portsmouth, New Hampshire.
The PlaneSense program achieved steady growth since its inception 21 years ago, and it has recently surpassed significant flight benchmarks. Notably, it has exceeded the milestone of 250,000 flight operations.
