NetJets, a division of Berkshire Hathaway, has revealed its current fleet, and there are significant changes.
The biggest move is both its Dassault Falcon 2000s and Cessna Citation Xs are no longer available for jet card, fractional share purchases or leases.
The French-made Dassault Falcon 2000 is popular for its wide cabin although the base model range is better suited for transcontinental flights than across the ocean.
In addition to the 229 Falcon 2000s in service, there are 352 more in its series sisters and it has seen a second life in the jet card market via ex-NetJets aircraft hitting the market.
The price for a used Falcon 2000 starts at around $3.2 million.
Production Start: 1995
Production Ends: 2007
The Falcon 2000 is the precursor of the Falcon 2000DX (2008 to 2010), Falcon EX (2003 to 2004), Falcon 2000EX EASy (2004 to 2009), Falcon 2000LX (2007 to 2012), and the Falcon 2000LXS (2013 to current). All have the same cabin dimensions.

In the world of private aviation, Dumont Group is best known for parts and maintenance, often buying used aircraft for components that can be used as replacements. That has been changing for a while and will be even more so – in a big way. As the company expands its aircraft management, it is becoming a well-sized charter operator owning and operating aircraft as well as operating and managing aircraft for owners, some who use the jets exclusively for themselves and others who allow Dumont to sell charter trips on them.
