Where Craft Pod returns come from (charter income, appreciation, tax benefits)

Craft Pod generates returns for investors from three main sources:

Together, these make up your total economic return. Plus, of course, the personal value of using the aircraft.

When you’re not using the planes, Craft charters them to third parties. That rental income flows back into the Pod, and to you.

This provides regular cash flow that helps cover costs and can contribute to profits.

Over the 5-year term, the aircraft and other invested assets can maintain or increase in value. We aim to buy smart and manage well to preserve value.

If the jets appreciate (or simply depreciate slower than expected), those gains are realized when we sell at the end of the term.

Any increase in the value of other invested assets (like stocks in the Pod) also boosts returns.

As an owner, you can take advantage of tax rules like accelerated depreciation on aircraft. This creates paper losses or deductions that can offset income (like the charter income).

If you contributed stock, you also deferred capital gains taxes when you invested.

These tax advantages improve your net return — letting you keep more of the income and gains by reducing or deferring taxes.
