Meet the World's Largest Private Jet Travel Service

Postby SkyBoat » Tue Dec 01, 2015 6:06 pm

Hi All- This piece was in the New York Times today (1 Dec 15) and it's a special promo section on NetJet, the world's largest private jet travel service. The guys are amazing and run an airline that is 100% charter and in many areas of the country can respond to a request for a flight on just a matter of a couple of hours notice. The piece has great grapics and a very nice video. I think you'll enjoy reading and watching the info on it:

Good read. Thanks Skyboat.


I've down a few NetJets on FG myself, flying the routes for JAFVA.

Great amount of byzz jets from all over they have

If we gave everybody in the World free software today, but we failed to teach them about the four freedoms, five years from now, would they still have it?

Yes, they have quite the fleet and they keep them sparkling clean. Interestingly I can't see a tail number on any of their planes, but maybe it is just the angle--or perhaps they have been airbrushed out of the photos. That wouldn't surprise me. In the article one of the guys being interviewed mentioned them catering to "C" class executives. That is a new one on me. I wonder how far up the ladder a "C" class executive really is?
