NetJets is highlighting access, special events, and VIP hospitality for its fractional owners.

At the same time, it added 10 new private jets to its fleet in November.

The world’s largest private jet flight provider recently hosted clients during Art Basel Miami.

In a social media post, President Patrick Gallagher noted, “For 20+ years, NetJets has partnered with Art Basel, and over the past few years, our amazing NetJets team has created exclusive lounge spaces at the world’s premier art fair,” adding, This year was no exception!”

Gallagher continued, “Our owners and their guests enjoyed exclusive access to the beautiful NetJets private lounges in Paris and Miami Beach.”

He added, “I love that this partnership continues to provide unforgettable experiences and relationships with emerging artists across the globe, including this year’s collaboration with Diane Benoit du Rey.”

NetJets Event Schedule

Another recent client event included a tennis clinic in Athens, Greece, with tennis legend Roger Federer.

The company posted, “NetJets owners were treated to a first-of-its-kind tennis clinic in the Mediterranean with one of the greatest tennis players of all time.”

In Healdsburg, California, clients were hosted in a farm-to-table event featuring partners Blackberry Farm and SingleThread Farm – Restaurant – Inn.

Single Thread has earned three Michelin stars.

The Michelin Guide notes:

‘Here, in the bucolic loveliness at the heart of Sonoma Wine Country, sense of place combines exquisitely with the deeply personal vision of owners Chef Kyle Connaughton and head farmer Katina Connaughton. The nearby 24-acre farm provides much of the bounty prepared in the kitchen, and the couple’s time in Japan informs the restaurant’s ethos and the kaiseki-influenced cuisine.’

Another recent event in New York City “showcased the talents of Chef Daniel Boulud and sommelier Daniel Johnnes of La Paulée.”

The evening was “rounded out with a private performance by comedian Sebastian Maniscalco.”

Employee Enthusiasm

Gallagher also noted internal enthusiasm.

He recently posted, “One of my favorite ways to measure employee engagement is through sales at our little NetJets retail store at our (Columbus, Ohio) headquarters.”

Gallagher wrote:

‘Our fantastic team curates some great merch. Couple that with a proud workforce, and you get incredible results. In the spirit of Black Friday, I was wondering how our sales compare to conventional retail apparel stores. I found online that the low end is $200 per square foot per year for discount/mass-market retailers, and the high end is $600 per square foot per year for specialty/premium stores. (Thanks, ChatGPT.) The NetJets store does a whopping $1,600-square feet per year, and it’s only open Mon-Fri from 10-4, and it’s closed on Black Friday. Only NetJets!’

NetJets 2025 Growth

According to WingX, NetJets is continuing to build on its hefty leadership position.

In November, NetJets, Inc. had 38,134 departures.

That’s nearly 1,300 per day.

It marked a 12.5% jump compared to 2024.

The overall U.S. fractional/charter market was up 7%.

NetJets Europe, the largest operator there, added 4,571 departures, though that was down 1.8%.

Per WingX, Europe departures were down 1% for the period.

NetJets’ aircraft management arm, Executive Jet Management, flew 3,597 segments, a 16.2% year-over-year increase.

Per its own data, NetJets added 10 new private jets to its fleet in December.

Its monthly update showed three more Praetor 500s and a pair of Citation Latitudes.

NetJets also added a Phenom 300, a Challenger 3500, a Citation Longitude, a Challenger 650, and a Global 5500.
