NoNetJets flight takes off unless both the pilot-in-command and the dispatcher independently verify all flight plans and computations. This dual-release requirement means that two highly trained professionals must both agree that the flight can be accomplished without compromising safety.

All NetJets aircraft are subject to acarefully managed maintenance regimen handled bythe professionals who know them best: the original equipment manufacturers and their authorized support facilities. And of course, we work only with manufacturers that meet our very high standards for maintenance.
