About Stratus 9
Optimizing Private Aviation
We are a dynamic group of skilled pilots, innovative engineers, and driven entrepreneurs. To us, private air travel epitomizes one of humanity's most profound aspirations: to travel far, move quickly, and connect personally.
At Stratus 9, our mission is to democratize private air travel, making it more accessible and efficient, while presenting an appealing investment prospect. We chose the Pilatus PC-12 as our inaugural aircraft due to its outstanding safety, efficiency, and reliability. Its consistent performance and adaptability have established it as a mainstay in global aviation for over two decades.
Leveraging this robust foundation, we have broadened our fleet to include various aircraft models, underscoring our commitment to provide a comprehensive suite of private travel solutions that meet the diverse needs of our clients and investors.
In our pursuit, we are committed to integrating cutting-edge technologies to position Stratus 9 at the forefront of shared aircraft ownership, with a focus on enhancing safety, reducing costs, refining fleet management, and advancing environmental sustainability.
The S9 Difference.
Extensive Industry Knowledge, Technology Forward, and Client-Centric - a few reasons why S9™ is disrupting the private & fractional ownership aviation industry.
Experience
Our fractional plan is designed around your and your co-owner's needs. If you want more flight hours, or wish to sell more revenue-hours to offset your expenses, we'll adapt to you.
Vision
The PC-12's outstanding flight performance allows access to short and unpaved runways, large payload capacity, and all weather conditions, giving you a wide range of missions.
Safety
You benefit from fixed annual and hourly pricing, giving you peace of mind when organizing your trip. We'll take care of dispatch, coordinate services and any special needs for your trip.
This is private aviation, simplified.
