TIME-SHARING MODEL – the alter­na­ti­ve to own a glider

For many gli­ding enthu­si­asts, the high cos­ts of modern high-per­for­mance gli­ders are hard­ly afforda­ble. Annu­al main­ten­an­ce requi­res addi­tio­nal time and finan­cial resour­ces. Many peo­p­le have less time to use their own air­craft intensively.

The E‑VOLUTION TIME-SHARING model offers uni­que and fasci­na­ting oppor­tu­ni­ties to fly top-of-the-ran­ge air­craft cost-effec­tively and effi­ci­ent­ly at various loca­ti­ons worldwide.

Plan­ned loca­ti­ons include Euro­pe, South Afri­ca, Nami­bia, and North and South America.

TIME-SHARING part­ners beco­me share­hol­ders in an E‑VOLUTION TIME-SHARING com­pa­ny. This com­pa­ny will beco­me the owner of the time­sha­re air­craft. The invest­ment has no fixed term. In return for their invest­ment, share­hol­ders recei­ve exclu­si­ve annu­al flight rights. The num­ber of days depends on the amount of invest­ment capi­tal. The invest­ment can be sold to third parties.

TIME-SHARING part­ners can exer­cise their flight entit­le­ments on all E‑VOLUTION TIME-SHARING aircraft.

E‑VOLUTION GmbH orga­ni­zes the TIME-SHARING model and covers the annu­al main­ten­an­ce cos­ts. TIME-SHARING part­ners do not bear any main­ten­an­ce costs.

Time­line: Reser­va­tions pos­si­ble imme­dia­te­ly – avai­la­bi­li­ty start­ing 2029/2030.

Sim­ply book the air­craft type, loca­ti­on, and time online: arri­ve, board, fly, and enjoy!
