NetJets Limits Sales Amidst Private Jet Demand Surge
2 Aug
Summary
- NetJets limits jet card sales for the second time in five years.
- Demand for private jet flights surged significantly during the pandemic.
- NetJets cards offer consistent experience and lower fees.
As of 2026-08-02, NetJets, the world's largest private jet operator, has once again limited sales of its jet cards and leases. This marks the second instance in five years that the company has restricted sales, despite operating a substantial fleet of 868 private jets.
This decision comes after a significant surge in demand for private jet flights during the Covid pandemic. In August 2021, NetJets had temporarily suspended its jet card program entirely due to this increased demand, reinstating it in late 2022. The program's popularity stems from its offer of specific aircraft types and a consistent customer experience.
NetJets' jet cards are favored for providing lower international flight fees and shorter daily minimum charges compared to many competitors. They also offer wider service areas, the ability to use hours for European flights, and include amenities like complimentary WiFi and full catering. Additionally, deicing charges and other program pass-through costs are often included in the contracted rate, alongside relatively flexible cancellation terms and pet-friendly policies.
