Archive note: This page summarized a 2013 CNBC Delivering Alpha exchange and then-current third-party aircraft records. It does not establish current aircraft ownership, use, value, configuration, or operating status for Carl Icahn, Bill Ackman, or any related entity.
The television discussion included speculation about private-aircraft ownership. The original article then referred to historical Jetnet records and representative Gulfstream G550 and Falcon 2000 images. Registry, ownership, management, and program interests can change, and a representative aircraft image does not identify the aircraft used for a particular trip.
The acquisition and operating-cost figures in the original story have been removed because they were dated, configuration-dependent estimates rather than a current ownership analysis or charter price. A current ownership decision requires aircraft-specific acquisition, financing, crew, maintenance, insurance, hangar, management, utilization, and residual-value assumptions.
Travelers who do not own an aircraft can request trip-specific on-demand charter proposals. Jet Partners acts as a charter services arranger under 14 CFR Part 295, not as a direct air carrier, and does not exercise operational control. A written proposal identifies the properly licensed direct air carrier, aircraft, schedule, pricing, fees, and terms. Request a current proposal.
