flight_takeoffBook via NetJetsFounded in 1964 in the United States by Richard Santulli, NetJets is the world pioneer in private jet fractional ownership and remains today the world’s largest private jet operator with a fleet of over 750 aircraft. A subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway (Warren Buffett) since 1998, the company has operated in Europe under EASA licence since 1996 via NetJets Europe, based in Lisbon. Its fractional ownership programme allows clients to acquire fractions as small as one sixteenth (minimum 1/16th) of a private jet, with a guaranteed deployment within 4 hours anywhere in the world.
The NetJets model differs fundamentally from a traditional private jet broker: the client purchases a fraction of a real aircraft, benefits from a dedicated crew, guaranteed slots even during peak demand periods (Cannes, Monaco Grand Prix, World Cup), and predictable pricing with no surcharges. Its European fleet includes the Phenom 300, Citation XLS+, Sovereign, and Challenger 350, covering all categories from midsize to super-midsize. The NetJets Europe programme guarantees access to 3,000 destinations in 200 countries.
NetJets is the absolute benchmark for executives and large families who fly more than 50 hours per year by private jet. The flight-hour programme (Marquis Jet Cards) allows those who fly less to access the same aircraft and the same level of service without fractional ownership. Certified IS-BAO Stage 3, ARGUS Platinum, and WYVERN Wingman — the three highest safety distinctions in the industry — NetJets has recorded no fatal accident in 60 years of operations.

Frequently asked questions about NetJets
NetJets fractional ownership involves purchasing a fraction of a private jet, starting from one sixteenth (1/16th), which corresponds to approximately 50 flight hours per year. In return, NetJets guarantees an identical or superior aircraft available within 4 hours anywhere in the world, with a dedicated crew trained to IS-BAO Stage 3 standards. The price includes all operating costs — fuel, maintenance, insurance — with a predictable monthly management fee.
For travellers flying fewer than 50 hours per year, NetJets offers Marquis Jet Cards — 25-hour flight cards on midsize, super-midsize, or large aircraft. This programme delivers the same level of service and safety as fractional ownership without any capital commitment. Below 25 hours per year, a private jet broker such as LunaJets or AeroAffaires will generally be more cost-effective.
NetJets Europe operates a standardised fleet to guarantee service consistency: Embraer Phenom 300 (light jet, up to 7 pax), Cessna Citation XLS+ and Sovereign (midsize, 8–9 pax), Challenger 350 (super-midsize, 10 pax), and Gulfstream G450 (heavy jet, 14 pax). Access to the global NetJets fleet also includes ultra-long-range aircraft such as the Global 7500 and Gulfstream G650 for intercontinental routes.
Yes — this is one of the principal advantages of fractional ownership over a broker. NetJets contractually guarantees an aircraft within 4 hours even during the Cannes Film Festival, Monaco Grand Prix, ski season weeks (Courchevel, Méribel), or major sporting events. Brokers and private jet platforms cannot offer this guarantee because they depend on spot market availability, which can collapse during these peak periods.
NetJets holds the three highest safety certifications in global private aviation: IS-BAO Stage 3 (the highest international standard), ARGUS Platinum, and WYVERN Wingman. Over 60 years of operations and tens of thousands of annual flights, NetJets has recorded no fatal accident. Its pilots complete on average 30% more simulator hours than required by EASA regulations.
NetJets and VistaJet are the two global leaders in private jet ownership and operation, but their models differ. NetJets sells ownership fractions (you co-own a real aircraft), while VistaJet offers monthly access programmes without ownership. NetJets is historically stronger in North America; VistaJet on Europe–Middle East–Asia routes. Both offer standardised fleets and dedicated crews, but NetJets has the largest physical fleet in the world.
