Seamless Ownership. Our 360-degree management services and personalized care create tailor-made luxury travel. Your dedicated NetJets team hires, trains, and provides ongoing support for pilots, ensures all safety requirements are met, and deftly handles operational complexities.
Reliable, Flexible Access. NetJets guarantees anytime access to the world’s largest, most diverse fleet of private jets. Our industry-leading scale and responsible fleet growth allow you to travel when and where you desire, even in the event of unexpected changes in your travel plans, maintenance needs, or sick Crewmembers.
True Privacy. To protect your anonymity, NetJets passengers are never associated with specific tail numbers and have exclusive access to our network of private boarding lounges. All passenger data is held in total confidentiality behind leading cybersecurity.
Predictable, Transparent Pricing. With NetJets, there are no extra or hidden fees, such as repositioning (ferry) fees, creating a stable cost structure. Additionally, we do not leverage minimum flight charges.
