9 Questions for Fractional Aircraft Ownership Providers

Gain Insights to Choose Your Ideal Jet Partner

As the global private aviation leader for over 60 years, NetJets knows with certainty what is required to deliver remarkable travel experiences. How providers answer these questions can help you determine the fractional aircraft ownership partner that is right for you. Explore these important inquiries and our responses to see what sets NetJets apart from other fractional jet ownership companies.

1. Are Your “New” Aircraft Actually Brand New?

NetJets welcomes aircraft into our growing fleet that are factory-new from leading original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). In 2026 alone, we plan to take delivery of over 80 cutting-edge jets, featuring advanced avionics and our bespoke interiors. Others offering fractional aircraft ownership acquire pre-owned jets that are “new” to them. Purchasing from the resale market leads to inconsistencies NetJets does not experience.

2. If I Join Today, Can I Fly Tomorrow?

Unlike fractional aircraft ownership providers promoting fast paths to preowned jets, NetJets takes delivery of your aircraft directly from the manufacturer, built to our exacting standards. Simply put, your NetJets aircraft is worth the wait. In the meantime, enjoy immediate access to the NetJets experience through our vast fleet and exclusive benefits from luxury partners.

3. How Do You Exceed Safety Requirements?

With our operational excellence, NetJets is uniquely able to advance innovative programs and initiatives that protect the safety of our Owners, team members, and fleet.

Tailored Pilot Training: You Are in Expert Hands
NetJets is the first and only fractional aircraft ownership provider with a data-driven Advanced Qualification Program (AQP) that exceeds Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) requirements. After hiring the industry’s top talent, NetJets requires customized, recurrent AQP training of the highest quality, which goes well beyond merely meeting a set quantity of flight hours.

Proactive Fleet Maintenance: Your Aircraft Is Mission-Ready
NetJets operates the world’s largest, most diverse private jet fleet, maintaining the highest standards. With our expansive network of maintenance partners and facilities, we ensure our jets are ready whenever Owners need to fly. Our growing global collection of NetJets Service Hub® facilities provides proactive maintenance on each aircraft every 3–4 days.

Flight Data Monitoring: Mitigating Risks for More Peace of Mind
Our Flight Operations Quality Assurance (FOQA) program uses flight data recorders to inform custom, risk-reducing flight tracks. We mandate that all new aircraft deliveries are equipped with recorders, which exceeds FAA requirements and provides more safety insights than any other program.

4. Is Your Company Financially Stable?

As a Berkshire Hathaway company with a sustainable business model, only NetJets is capable of navigating all economic conditions and protecting your investment. While over 40 providers have experienced forced mergers or bankruptcy in the last 25 years, NetJets remains financially stable with zero debt. We consistently reinvest our profits into industry-leading safety programs and Owner-centric initiatives.

5. How Much Does it Cost to Fly With You?

Our promise to prioritize safety and service at every step necessitates a premium price point but delivers value beyond compare. The fractional aircraft ownership providers that offer discounts to secure business are unable to invest in advancements at the breadth and depth of NetJets. With no unexpected expenses, ferry (repositioning) fees, or minimum flight charges, NetJets’ solutions ensure complete cost transparency for you.

6. Can You Define Your Scale and Reach?

NetJets Owners have reliable access to the largest private jet fleet in the world. Because our fleet includes more than 10 different aircraft types, from light to long-range, NetJets Owners have the flexibility to match their jet to their journey. 

The size of our global team—comprised of over 9,500 talented professionals—and versatility of our fleet empower departures with as little as 4 hours’ notice. This is less than half the time other fractional jet ownership companies require. Our scale also drives industry-leading aircraft recovery times when unanticipated maintenance arises. For Owners, it all results in seamless, on-demand travel to over 5,000 airports worldwide. 

7. What is Your Onboard Experience Like?

Aboard any NetJets' aircraft, calm and comfort surround you. Each private jet is thoughtfully designed—and continually refined—to exceed expectations and safety standards. 

We select all cabin materials, from real-wood veneers to premium textiles, to ensure timeless, luxurious interiors. Every aircraft is also equipped with innovative technology, impeccably detailed, and stocked with preferred amenities.

8. Do You Have Private Terminals at Top Airports?

To offer the most elevated, seamless travel experience, we are strategically expanding our network of exclusive-use, private terminals at popular airports worldwide. At these NetJets-only spaces and many other locations frequented by Owners, NetJets Service Representatives provide onsite support to our Owners and Crewmembers.

As a debt-free company with a sound business model, NetJets invests in real estate in ways other fractional jet ownership companies cannot. 

9. How Would You Describe Your Operational Expertise?

Every day, NetJets orchestrates over 1,400 flights worldwide, all while constantly assessing performance metrics to further perfect our capabilities. This singular capacity for advancement is clearly showcased through the development of our special landing and takeoff procedures at airports with unique terrain or varied weather conditions. Our predetermined paths of navigation increase access to Owner-favorite destinations while improving safety margins. NetJets is the only fractional aircraft ownership provider authorized by the FAA to develop, test, and publish special procedures.

The tailor-made service we provide our Owners has set a standard other fractional jet ownership companies aim to emulate. From Crewmembers to customer service specialists, our team members demonstrate persistent professionalism and attention to detail, ensuring you are able to do more and miss less.
