**NetJets Inc.** is an American company that sells [fractional ownership](/source/Fractional_ownership_of_aircraft) shares in private [business jets](/source/Business_jet).[6]

Founded as **Executive Jet Airways** in 1964, it was later renamed **Executive Jet Aviation**. NetJets became the first private business jet charter and aircraft management company in the world. It launched its fractional ownership business in 1986 and became a subsidiary of [Berkshire Hathaway](/source/Berkshire_Hathaway) in 1998.[7][8]

## History

### 1960s

The company was founded in 1964 and originally known as *Executive Jet Airways*. The name was later changed to *Executive Jet Aviation* (EJA), and again in 2002 to NetJets, after Berkshire Hathaway purchased it in 1998. NetJets was the first private business jet charter and aircraft management company in the world.[7] The idea came from retired Air Force Brigadier General Olbert F. "Dick" Lassiter, who had experience running the Air Mission Squadron, an air taxi service for the Air Force. The idea was to run a similar service for private companies, with a pool of corporate jets providing transportation instead of each company having to purchase and maintain their own plane.[9]: 177 The founding members of the board of directors included [US Air Force](/source/US_Air_Force) generals [Curtis E. LeMay](/source/Curtis_E._LeMay) and [Paul Tibbets](/source/Paul_Tibbets), Washington lawyer and former military pilot [Bruce Sundlun](/source/Bruce_Sundlun), and entertainers and pilots [James Stewart](/source/James_Stewart) and [Arthur Godfrey](/source/Arthur_Godfrey), with Lassiter serving as president and chairman of the board.[10][11][12]

Shortly after its founding, EJA began receiving regular investments from the [Pennsylvania Railroad](/source/Pennsylvania_Railroad) (PRR), which were managed by accountant David Bevan. In June 1965, the railroad purchased a majority of shares in EJA, despite the fact that rail carriers were barred from owning air carriers by the [Federal Aviation Act of 1958](/source/Federal_Aviation_Act_of_1958).[9]: 183 To hide the investments from the PRR board, Bevan made the payments through a subsidiary, the American Contract Company, which he was president of.[9]: 179

EJA initially began operations in 1964 with a fleet of ten [Learjet 23](/source/Learjet_23) aircraft.[13] The company soon moved to acquire competitors and larger aircraft, including two [707](/source/Boeing_707) jets and two [727](/source/Boeing_727) jets from [Boeing](/source/Boeing), but these could not be operated in revenue service without being an airline, so EJA attempted to buy [Johnson Flying Service](/source/Johnson_Flying_Service) (JFS), a small Montana charter airline. EJA even negotiated an order for [Lockheed L-500s](/source/Lockheed_L-500), the nascent civil version of the C-5 Galaxy, contingent on acquiring JFS, which required approval from the [Civil Aeronautics Board](/source/Civil_Aeronautics_Board) (CAB), the now-defunct Federal agency that, at the time, tightly controlled almost all commercial air transport.[14][9]: 185 The PRR argued its EJA stake was legal as it consisted of non-voting stock. Anticipating CAB approval, EJA licensed its larger jets to foreign airlines. But the CAB saw PRR's involvement as illegal, EJA found itself deeply unprofitable, and the PRR attempted to sell off its stake. However, potential buyers lost interest after corporate spies for [Pan Am](/source/Pan_Am) acquired and leaked information on EJA's illegal interests.[9]: 191 The PRR merged into [Penn Central](/source/Penn_Central) in 1968, and the search for a buyer continued. Penn Central and EJA were ultimately fined $70,000 by the CAB in 1969.[9]: 192

In 1970, the trustee for Penn Central's EJA shares voted to oust Lassiter and replace him with [Bruce Sundlun](/source/Bruce_Sundlun). On July 1, the day before he was voted in as president, [Sundlun](/source/Bruce_Sundlun) led a midnight raid on EJA's corporate offices with the assistance of [Pinkertons](/source/Pinkertons). Lassiter attempted to retake the office with armed guards of his own shortly after, but they were stopped by Sundlun's guards.[9]: 177 Lassiter was later sued for his role in diverting $21 million of PRR money into EJA, much of which had gone to his personal expenses.[12][9]: 197 Sundlun, [Robert L. Scott Jr.](/source/Robert_Lee_Scott_Jr.) and Joseph S. Sinclair bought out the Penn Central interest in EJA in 1972 and stabilized the company's finances. [Paul Tibbets](/source/Paul_Tibbets) became president in 1976.[15][16]

### 1980s

In 1984, Executive Jet Aviation was purchased by mathematician and former [Goldman Sachs](/source/Goldman_Sachs) executive [Richard Santulli](/source/Richard_Santulli) who owned a business that leased helicopters to service providers of offshore oil operations. When Santulli became chairman and CEO of the corporation, he closely examined 22 years of pilot logbooks, and began to envision a new economic model where several individuals could own one aircraft.[17]

In 1987, the NetJets program was officially announced becoming the first fractional aircraft ownership format in history.[13] Around the same time, painted on every NetJets US aircraft is a registration ending with QS, symbolizing the concept of selling quarter shares of an aircraft—a feature that is still representative of the NetJets brand today.[18][19]

### 1990s

In 1998, Berkshire Hathaway acquired EJA and NetJets Inc from Richard Santulli for US$725 million, half of which was paid in stock.[20] NetJets soon expanded to Europe and then Russia, and by 2006, it was the largest operator of business jets in Europe.[21]

### 2000s

The company operated a fleet of nine [Boeing 737-700](/source/Boeing_737-700) [Boeing Business Jets](/source/Boeing_Business_Jet) in the mid-2000s, since then sold off.[*[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed)*]

In early August 2009, Santulli resigned as CEO and was replaced by [David Sokol](/source/David_Sokol). Shortly afterward, NetJets moved its corporate headquarters from New Jersey back to its original home in [Columbus, Ohio](/source/Columbus%2C_Ohio).[22]

### 2010s

In 2010, NetJets acquired Marquis Jet from founders [Jesse Itzler](/source/Jesse_Itzler) and [Kenny Dichter](/source/Kenny_Dichter).[23] The prepaid Marquis [Jet card](/source/Jet_card) allowed customers to purchase 25 hours of guaranteed flight time on the NetJets fleet.[24]

On 11 June 2012, NetJets placed the largest aircraft order in private aviation history totaling US$17.6B. The company placed a firm order for 30 Bombardier Global 5000/6000 jets, 25 Bombardier Challenger 650 jets, 75 Bombardier Challenger 350s, 25 Cessna Citation Latitudes and 50 Embraer Phenom 300s.[25] As a part of this purchase agreement, it also placed conditional orders for an additional 40 Bombardier Global 5000/6000s, 50 Bombardier Challenger 650, 125 Bombardier Challenger 350s, 125 Cessna Citation Latitudes and 75 Embraer Phenom 300s. As a result of these orders NetJets became [Cessna](/source/Cessna)'s largest business jet fleet owner.[26][27]

In September 2014, NetJets acquired approval to launch its aircraft charter service in [China](/source/China), having worked with Chinese authorities since 2012 to secure the operating certificate.[28]

In 2015, the company's pilots picketed the Wynn resort in Las Vegas where company owner Warren Buffett was hosting some of his wealthiest customers. The event was symbolic of deteriorating labor relations within the company at this time.[29]

The [Internal Revenue Service](/source/Internal_Revenue_Service) (IRS) had sought back taxes and penalties of $643 million from NetJets for periods beginning in 2003, including on its maintenance and service fees. NetJets filed a lawsuit challenging the IRS assessments. In January 2015, the United States District Court issued a decision in NetJets' favor, holding that the IRS assessments were unlawful.[30][31][32]

In 2019, a former NetJets pilot filed a lawsuit alleging that in March 2017, the company violated US Civil Right and Ohio anti-discrimination law when she was fired for being too short (5 feet 2 inches (157 cm)) to properly control the rudders of an [Embraer Phenom 300](/source/Embraer_Phenom_300). She stated that male pilots who were too tall were reassigned to different aircraft, while her employment was terminated without the opportunity to fly a different plane.[33][34][35] An Ohio federal judge ruled in favor of NetJets in 2022, citing the plaintiff's failure to prove sex discrimination.[36]

### 2020s

In the spring of 2020, the company saw a boom in demand, as wealthy individuals sought to avoid the risks of airline flying during the [COVID-19 pandemic](/source/COVID-19_pandemic). Previously, many potential customers had concerns about the optics of opulence and the environmental issues of private jet transport, but NetJets President of Sales, Marketing and Service, Patrick Gallagher noted in May 2020, that the health risks associated with flying on commercial airlines during the pandemic had trumped those concerns. The company introduced regular employee COVID-19 testing to try to contain the risks of an outbreak on its aircraft.[37]

In October 2020, the company made initial moves to reduce its [carbon footprint](/source/Carbon_footprint). The company committed to buying "up to 3 million gallons" (11.4 million litres) of [sustainable aviation fuel](/source/Sustainable_aviation_fuel) to be used at two of its bases, San Francisco and Columbus, Ohio. The company is also encouraging its customers to buy [carbon offsets](/source/Carbon_offsets) for their flights. The company will also buy its own offsets for its administration and training flights.[38]

As of November 2020, almost half of the company's fleet was manufactured by Textron, and the rest by [Bombardier Inc.](/source/Bombardier_Inc.) and [Embraer](/source/Embraer). After reducing its delivery target for 2021 by more than half, due to decreased demand caused by the [COVID-19 pandemic](/source/COVID-19_pandemic) in 2020, the company expected to take delivery of 40 new aircraft in 2021 in anticipation of industry recovery.[39]

In February 2021, the company purchased a stake in WasteFuel, a business that will convert [landfill](/source/Landfill) waste into [sustainable aviation fuel](/source/Sustainable_aviation_fuel) (SAF). NetJets plans to purchase 100 million gallons of SAF from WasteFuel over the next 10 years as part of the deal.[40]

In March 2021, NetJets announced that it had ordered 20 [Aerion AS2s](/source/Aerion_AS2) supersonic business jets. The [memorandum of understanding](/source/Memorandum_of_understanding) between NetJets and Aerion called for the two companies to operate a larger "Aerion Connect" network.[41][42] Aerion abruptly announced its closure on 21 May 2021, due to the inability to raise the needed capital to continue.[43]

The company announced in March 2022, that it would partner with [Lilium GmbH](/source/Lilium_GmbH) to establish an [eVTOL](/source/EVTOL) network in [Florida](/source/Florida). NetJets will buy 150 [Lilium Jets](/source/Lilium_Jet) and operate them under a [FAR Part 135](/source/Federal_Aviation_Regulations) charter operation.[44] In October 2024 Lilium filed for insolvency.

NetJets announced in September 2023, that it will be purchasing up to 1,500 [Cessna Citation](/source/Cessna_Citation_family) jets from [Textron Aviation](/source/Textron_Aviation). Deliveries for this 15-year deal are expected to begin in 2025.[45]

## Subsidiaries

NetJets Europe, also known by its corporate legal name, NetJets Transportes Aéreos, S.A., was launched in 1996 as a sister company of NetJets and is now a subsidiary.[46] It is based in [Oeiras, Portugal](/source/Oeiras%2C_Portugal), and serves more than 5,000 airports globally.[47]

NetJets Europe IATA ICAO Call sign — NJE FRACTION Founded 6 December 1996 (29 years ago) (1996-12-06) Portugal[citation needed] AOC # N60F996F[48] Fleet size 124 Destinations Point to point Parent company NetJets Headquarters Lisbon, Portugal Key people CEO: Mario Pacifico

Also among NetJets subsidiaries is Executive Jet Management (EJM), based in Cincinnati, Ohio, which offers aircraft management and charter services. QS Partners is the whole-aircraft brokerage arm of NetJets, launched in 2016 and officing in Columbus, Ohio; Boulder, Colorado; and London; it also exclusively resells used aircraft from NetJets' fleet. QS Security Services was launched by NetJets in October 2019 with "tiered security packages" based on passenger needs and threat level at destination. Initially only available at Paris Le Bourget and in Mexico, future plans include worldwide coverage by 2023.[49]

## Business model

NetJets headquarters at [John Glenn Columbus International Airport](/source/John_Glenn_Columbus_International_Airport).

NetJets sells fractions of specific aircraft, chosen from several available types at the time of purchase. Owners then have guaranteed access (50–400 hours annually, depending on share size) to that aircraft with as little as four hours' notice. If the owner's aircraft is unavailable for some reason, another aircraft of the same type, or a larger aircraft, will be provided.[50][51]

Fractional owners pay monthly maintenance fees for a minimum of 50 annual flight hours and a five-year commitment, as well as operating fees by the hour for use of aircraft. Alternatively, customers may buy flight hours in 25-hour increments by way of jet card programs.[24] Fractional owners also pay an occupied hourly operating fee, but it is charged only when an owner or guest is on board, not for [ferry flights](/source/Ferry_flying).[50][51]

NetJets is the largest fractional aircraft provider. In 2021 its fleet flew 478,444 hours.[52]

For companies or individuals that require less than the minimum 50 flight hours and the five-year commitment of fractional ownership, they can buy flight hours in 25-hour increments via the NetJets jet card programs.[24] Due to a surge in demand for private aviation during the [COVID-19 pandemic](/source/COVID-19_pandemic), NetJets suspended its card program in August 2021.[53] Sales restarted in March 2023. This program features "blackout" days, when service is not available due to expected high demand, such as on holidays or during major sporting events.[54]
