What is a cost share flightCost-shared flights are non-commercial flights, provided by pilots sharing their enthusiasm for flying. Our cost sharing flights are flights shared by private individuals, (separate to any other employment capacity or business affiliation they may hold). The 'cost-shared' part is in reference to the costs of the specific flight which can be shared only between the pilot and others onboard the aircraft. These costs are the 'direct costs' which are the costs directly incurred in relation to a specific flight (see FAQ). No profit is received by the pilot for the cost shared part of flights. Putting is simply… All onboard, share equally the cost of the flight whilst we all enjoy the AirXperience.
