FLY WITH THE FINEST CREWMEMBERS
DEDICATED TO YOU
We attract the industry’s best pilots and flight attendants who prove time and again their top priority is protecting you and your guests by upholding the highest private jet safety standards.
- TRAINING THE INDUSTRY’S ELITE
NetJets is the only private aviation company to surpass Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) requirements with a data-driven Advanced Qualification Program (AQP). This recurrent performance-based training tests pilots’ knowledge and reactions to real-world flight scenarios. Learn more about our exemplary pilots. - STEWARDS OF SAFETY AND SERVICE
On board our spacious, long-range aircraft, NetJets' flight attendants provide attentive, personalized service—all while prioritizing aviation and your safety. By going beyond Part 135 Federal Aviation Regulations in both new hire and annual recurrent training, they exceed industry standards for safety qualifications, ensuring the utmost preparedness for every scenario. - MITIGATING RISK WITH SAFETY INSIGHTS
NetJets’ Flight Operations Quality Assurance (FOQA) program uses flight data recorders to inform custom, risk-reducing flight tracks. We mandate that all new aircraft deliveries are equipped with recorders, which exceeds FAA requirements and provides more private jet safety insights than any other program. - FATIGUE RISK MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
Using a biomathematical model integrated into scheduling software, we predict when Crewmembers might be nearing lower alertness levels and relieve them of duty. - NO ONE KNOWS YOUR AIRCRAFT BETTER
NetJets’ pilot requirements mandate that our aviators fly only one aircraft type for absolute mastery. Our manufacturing specifications ensure the cockpits across each type are identical, furthering the safety of every pilot and passenger.
