TAKING OFF<br />
THE DEFINITION OF LUXURY CONTINUES TO EVOLVE.<br />
At NetJets, it’s about providing the highest level of Safety and Service – two<br />
words that we intentionally capitalise to create emphasis and priority among<br />
our employees and those we serve.<br />
Safety and Service are the foundations for creating peace of mind, exclusivity and exceptional<br />
experiences. It’s about making each flight special and personalised.<br />
As we enter the spring season after several cold, wintry months, we begin our busiest time of<br />
year – a great opportunity to capitalise on the luxuries we provide. Similarly, within this edition,<br />
we feature the best and brightest hotels and restaurants, all aligned to the same goal: to create<br />
a memorable, luxurious experience.<br />
All that to say, we embrace the opportunity with the new season, the thriving travel and<br />
hospitality industries, and the chance to underscore our commitment to Safety and Service.<br />
We look forward to serving you and your family.<br />
