The notice to dismiss came after NetJets had previously told the court it had reached a settlement in principle with Colin Fan.
A lawsuit by NetJets alleging that a customer flew on the fractional private jet operator for months without paying has been dismissed.
Attorneys for the world’s largest private jet company have filed a notice of dismissal with prejudice.
That means the unit of Berkshire Hathaway cannot refile.
NetJets Sales, Inc. et al. v. Fan was pending in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Ohio, Eastern Division.
The lawsuit against Colin Fan was filed on Nov. 21, 2025.
News of the lawsuit filed in Ohio was first reported in The Columbus Dispatch.
The filing alleged that after apparently choosing the lease option in its fractional ownership program, Fan used his private jet access from March through June of this year, when he was apparently cut off.
“By mid-August 2025, Mr. Fan had not paid a single invoice,” per NetJets in its initial filing.
On Dec. 10, 2025, the plaintiff had asked the court for a 30-day stay of all deadlines to allow the parties to settle.
The next day, attorneys for NetJets notified the court that a settlement in principle had been agreed upon.
An attorney for Colin Fan declined to comment.
Representatives of NetJets had not responded to a request for comment at the time of publication.
